..Bigger than facebook heh?

You have a dreamy imagination ;)

The curator payout money has to come from somewhere.
Hard to imagine such an elaborate construct scaling all the way up to 1.5 billion users ;/

Give it time, the value will keep building, and it will pay it's users back handsomely. We all should be cheering for having an alternative platform. This is power to the people VS corporations.

There's only 7300 tracked members man.

Facebook reached 1 600 000 000 users this year. You don't grow 219000 times the size of a blockchain tech platform without completely transforming it almost unrecognizably, fundamentally, so that it's adapted to mainstream usage.

Crypto is still very, very small vs. rest of the world. Keep things in logical perspective - 219000x userbase growth is pure misguided lunacy.

It is not reasonable to compare today's Facebook growth rate to steemit growth rate. Facebook started off slow, and it caught on. Everyone I talk to about steemit gets hooked immediately. I have been involved with crypto since 2008. Bitcoin adoption is terrible! Only nerds and finance people own bitcoin, it's a very small percentage of the total population. Steem coins however are super easy to get compared to bitcoin. Steem is frictionless to obtain. Once there are steem stores then it will be frictionless to spend as well.
