🙌 Why I Am So Bullish On STEEMit....And Why Everyone Else Should Too

A. No Buy In

Do you realize how big this is? Anyone can become a part of Steemit simply by signing up. That automatically makes them a hodler of a Steem wallet which comes fill with some tokens. While it isnt a lot, almost every other cryptocurrency out there needs to be purchased. Steem actually gives you currency for simply signing up. Consider the fact of how many people do not have money to invest in cryptocurrencies. This enables them to participate without having to lay out cash.

The Proof of Brain concept is amazing. Regardless of what you earned on here, I can almost guarantee it is more than FB and Reddit paid you. This site isnt advanced because people are running supercomputers with GPUs in them (although they might be). We are seeing an explosion because average individuals are able to post quality, original content.

"It's the content stupid".

B. Wonderful People

There are some amazing people on here. In my 6 weeks on Steemit, I came across some incredible people who are all active. If you want to see what I mean, check out @lindsaybowes and her @walkwithme program. For those who need a bit of optimism in your day, give @stackin a visit. This guy makes me look bearish on Steem. @cryptoeagle and I had some wonderful conversations after gutting out a hurricane. @daveb is a fantastic conversationalist who is firm in his views. @futurethinker and I just started conversing a bit and I like his knowledge of tech and what is happening. And @phoenixwren is my go to coconut/palm girl.

These are just a few of the names that I interacted with in the last couple days. There are tens of others.

My point is wonderful people create sensational content. As time goes by, I hope it will only get better.

C. We Are So Small

I am going to guess we are right around 400,000 members. It is reported that only about 20,000 of those who signed up are actually active on here. 20,000!!!! Do you realize how small that is. If it was a town, it wouldnt even be in the top 100 in the U.S. The world has 7B people on it with roughly 3B online. Steemit, while still in the beta stage, is a flea on a horse at this point. While some could view that as a negative, I see it as an opportunity for massive growth.

Another aspect of this is welcome to the bottom floor. Everyone seeks out those opportunities to get in early. Well, my friends, this is early. Sure people can complain about those who got in a year ago when the site was smaller and Steem was cheaper. My outlook is people will be saying the same thing a year from now.

D. Wall Street Is Lurking

The crypto world is about to explode in my opinion. Wall Street is starting to get a sniff of the money that can be made here. Do you know Wall Street is? It is a master marketing organization. People think of the Street as financial but they really are marketers. When you have a situation like with crypto, they will be the ones on the phones and t.v. getting the word out. Remember, this is how they get paid..by bringing in the money. And they are very good at it.

E. Top Notch Blockchain

Do you know what the problem is with Bitcoin? The ability to scale up the number of transactions per second. Do you know the problem with Ethereum? Same thing. Are you aware that Steem has performed more transactions than both those blockchains? I do not think the average person, even on here, is aware of that.

While other blockchains are working on how to scale up, Steem is developing new platforms such as SMTs. Someone wrote on here today that we are going to see a time when everyone has their own cryptocurrency. SMTs could allow such a feat. Do you think Bitcoin or Ethereum offer this?

F. People Are Getting Paid

Write a post, get paid. Upvote a post, get paid. Comment on a post, get paid. Try that on Facebook or Reddit.

Money changes everything. Everything else aside, this is the golden nugget. Steemit can change people's lives. Each of us wants to be a whale but I am going to guess that most people would have a significant improvement in their lives if they even reached Dolphin status. I only started here a little more than a month ago and now I pull in $30-$50 a week. How many social networking sites enable one to perform that feat (full disclosure, I did buy some Steem to power up).

The Steemit motto should be "Post, Comment, and Upvote your way to financial freedom".

These are some of the reasons why I am 1000% confident in Steemit and where it is going. I truly believe this will be one of the largest and most widely used platforms. Right now Steemit's target market is Facebook, Reddit, Youtube, Spotify, and Padora to just name a few. Combined those entities have followings that amount into the billions. If Steemit just converts 5% of those people over, you will see a site that is a top 50 Alexa rated site.

What are your thoughts? Do you see Steemit the same way I do?
