If you’re reading this, then you’re likely one of the many who believes that Steemit has the potential to gain mass-adoption one day. The recent growth is a wonderful sign.
We’ve all got our opinions of the platform and we know that since Steemit is still carrying the “beta” tag, that a lot of improvements are in the works. It’s my feeling that three features need to be addressed before the masses come pouring in:

1. Wallet Privacy

One of the best tips to keeping your cryptocurrency safe is to not tell anyone you hold cryptocurrency. Here at Steemit, though, everybody’s wallet is just sitting there, viewable by anyone with great ease. I have great hopes for this platform but the lack of wallet privacy is pure madness. Some have said that a user’s Steem Power needs to be visible for the system to work, but I don't think that anyone should see another user’s Steem or Steem-backed Dollars.
A popular saying around here goes a little like this: “Can you imagine if a big celebrity like Kim Kardashian gets on Steemit? This whole thing will be huge!” I can tell you right now that her manager would not let her go near any platform that divulges their client’s money (even if it’s constantly powered down and moved out).
I saw a comment by Dan Larimer stating that wallet privacy would be addressed in future developments, but do we know if the current developers have picked up the reigns on that? I hope so.

2. Feed Curation

We love the power to curate posts here on Steemit, but how can that be leveraged to improve our own feeds? At this point, if you are following a lot of people, it’s easy to miss good posts. Perhaps a Facebook-style algorithm that can learn who we interact with the most and push their posts to the top of the feed? Trending and Hot sections are a help, but it’d be great to have a more manageable time with our own feed.

3. Search

This one’s been talked about a lot. Any news on when the search will be improved? I’m sure I’m not the only one who does a search, gets a few results I want to check out, then has to go back and input the damn search keywords every time I hit the back button. Something more Steem-centric can’t come soon enough.

Your thoughts?

What do you think can be done to make Steemit better? Am I just being a noob who doesn’t know where the suggestion box is? Do you agree with these points? Please let me know, and thanks for reading!
