We all have heard stories of the fortunate few who happened to mine at the start of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Litecoin and other coins... and how these people made a fortune, or could have made a fortune with their early mining...
Right now we have a situation where our early blogging could be likened to the early mining opportunity.
Steem rewards are high for content creation and these rewards are shared between a small pool of creators. That will be true until a lot of people come onboard. At that point, say if 1000x more people arrives, the reward pool for blogging will have to be divided /1000 and everybody will be competing for far less money. This is the equivalent of "difficulty" going up x1000 in mining.
The above can be mitigated by a price rise - to some degree, but price rise cannot scale to the same level as adoption. For example it is possible to multiply the user base x1000, but is it probable to multiple steem's marketcap x1000, to 300 billion USD?
So this means that content creators here have a unique and historic opportunity in what they will do with their posts. Every second counts.
Article authors, photographers, story writers, bloggers, youtubers, simple men and women who want to introduce yourselves to the world, I can only say this: Make it worth it. Give it your best. Such an opportunity is indeed rare and may indeed be a "once in a lifetime".
