We want Steemit community a great place to be and the community is composed of the people living on it. I heard the question "Which one would you love more, the land or the people? What makes the land? The people makes the land. So which one do you love the people or the land? Anybody can own the land but only the people you can love".
The proposing Hard Fork 20 Velocity has a big plan to surpass other social media out there. We want to grow Steemit to at least the size of Reddit, or even larger. Steem Velocity is going to be key to bringing millions of users to the Steem ecosystem. I want to quote what 
said about this
Proposing Steem Velocity 0.20.0 as the Next Fork
In our 2017 Growth Plan posted 2 months ago we listed our 3 priorities: Communities, Effortless Onboarding, and a Mobile Application. We are extremely happy with our progress on all fronts. Our team of world-class developers have been working around the clock on all of these features and so we are excited to begin revealing the fruits of their labor with 0.20.0. The focus of this hardfork is on improving the process of account creation and reducing the friction involved in onboarding millions of new users.
This proposal addresses some on-chain issues to support signup improvements on Steemit.com and other sites to bring more users into the Steem ecosystem. As with the proposal for Steem Equality, these changes go together. Please view the proposal as a whole rather than individual parts. This is a complete rework of how account creation currently works on Steem, designed to help streamline the onboarding process for all Steem developers and improve the scalability of the Steem Ecosystem.

With this upcoming changes regarding effortless boarding, we can see dramatically how it will grow this platform in a much bigger size than it used to be. Expect to frequently see someone posting their very first post on steemit ecosystem using a hashtag #introduceyourself.
Back then...
I remember back then, the very first post I made here on steemit although it only make $2. I was really happy at that time and thinking to myself I would not earn this just by posting on any other social media. And the comment and the community started to welcome me warmly makes me more inspired to do my next blog when I see this wonderful platform based on blockchain.
For this I want to encourage each of us to do some giphy, their own personalize "Welcome Giphy". So newly registered Steemit users can see how active we are creating our original content inside of Steemit Ecosystem. One of the welcome giphy I already seen is created by 
I already made my own personalize Welcome Giphy to warmly welcome newly registered people in our community and planning to make more of it in the future.
By making this, many people will be inspired by what we are doing here. Imagine you can see your family, relatives or your friends will comment to welcome you with this personalize welcome giphy? what tremendous energy you can pass on his/her mind.
I want to encourage you to do the same and make personalize giphy based on your imagination, Sky will be the limit. I am giving away $2 or 2 SBD if you comment below your very own Welcome Giphy to encourage and inspire every newly registered user.
Free $2 or 2 SBD for all those people who will...
- Comment below their created own Welcome Giphy preferably with yourself on it (like the two example of me and )
