Hi Steemians,
As an early adopter of Steemit i am well aware of how addictive Steemit can be once you start using it. I remember the first few weeks i found myself glued to my computer screen posting and upvoting constantly.
As others have reported similar experiences it is quite clear that Steemit is indeed the gateway drug for cryptocurrency to the masses.
As new account registration is now back open i am wondering just how long it will take for Steemit to reach widespread adoption. Steemit's rapid growth has transformed the platform in just a few weeks. I remember seeing a frequency of about one new post every twenty minutes or so.
Today you can see new posts coming in every second! This is awesome and proves how much Steemit has grown over the past few weeks.
However, people who are using Steemit today are still some of the earliest users of the platform. The vast majority still hasn't heard about it. I for one am doing my part to spread awareness as much as i can either online or simply just by telling people about the platform. I have however experienced that getting people to use Steemit is not as easy as it sounds as most people are still asleep and are not fully aware of what this platform is capable of, even though they are getting all the right information.
I remember that Facebook reached mass adoption pretty fast. After 2008 Facebook's user base grew exponentially. I wonder if such an exponential explosion of new users would be possible with Steemit. If this would happen, it would have a domino effect on other cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin which would have a positive impact on the overal awareness of cryptocurrency to the masses.
I am interested to hear what you guys have to say about this. What do you guys think about Steemit's growth and how do you think the platform will grow in the next coming months, years?
Let me know what you guys think in the comments!
Keep on Steemin!
