Where do you think you and I are on this curve?
As I present the idea of the steem blockchain to people and steemit.com as an example, I am reminded constantly that you and I are not the average person. We are an incredible group of pioneers that discovered something way before it became popular.
Some may feel that it's unfair how much some people like me have SteemPower because I was there before the very first payout of steem on this faithful day of July 4th 2016...or by the fact that I was there when Steem was set to hyper-inflate. That may be true but it won't help them to make the best of the situation they are in right now nor will it change the fact that in 5 years, people will tell you they wish they were there when you were!
$6/Steem Is Still Very Cheap
- What is the value of a technology that allows the monetization of content without ads?
- What is the value of a technology that allows you to transfer infinite amount of value, in 3 seconds, with no fees?
- What is the value of dozens of social media websites built on top of that technology?
- What is the value of a technology that allows each of those websites to have their own reward tokens(Smart Media Tokens), launch ICOs and a zero-fee decentralized exchange?
I'm telling you my friends, we are still early and $6/Steem is really cheap when you realize the real value of such technology.
The proper attitude
So what is the proper attitude to take when we face that information? What mind frame each of us must take to maximize our experience and opportunity on this platform?
1- Take Massive Action
This thing is no joke and if you succeed at playing the steem game, add value, connect with influencers and work hard to make this place better...sooner or later, your rewards will climb. I've seen it happen. Late comers running surpassing account in terms of influence and value.
These people TAKE MASSIVE ACTION to make themselves a valuable member of the steem blockchain. They don't complain, don't play politics...they just put their minds to the grindstone and find solutions to problems that we face.
2- Don't Complain
Complainers are the biggest losers. Not only it doesn't put them in the right frame of mind to take massive action, it also repels people like me who could upvote their project or content. All-in-all, even if what they complain about is true and unfair, it doesn't help anyone to start a pity party.
3- Start a project
Start a project that extends beyond yourself. Look into projects like @sndbox or @steemstem. Those guys are the movers and shakers. They gained attention and influence by adding tremendous value to the steem blockchain. Find a problem, create a solution and market it until it gets traction. Build a discord channel around it and make this place better!
Conclusion
Within the next 5 years, considering the 4 points highlighted above, I can easily imagine STEEM reaching the $100 or more. That means that every single steem you are collecting right now could make a huge difference in the future...and all you had to do to make the best of it is to use your mind in the best possible way.
This post and your inspiration throughout all the other posts is the reason why I wanted to connect and chat with you in the chat , but I’m not sure if you use it , regardless I messaged you two days ago, wanted some advice
You’re beyond right , this is just the start. Those who came in last year at .12 and now looking at it at $6 in a year is a big change . Who knows as the paltform grows , the users grow , that can be double this year and who knows what next year will bring . We should try to be part of everything and engage with others , as I see it as a big key to success . Like they say , success is not given , it’s earned

I'm holding long term on my Steem.
A few thousand extra dollars a year would be great but would not make a huge impact on my life long term.
If steemit gets anywhere near mainstream I'd be kicking myself for getting out early. I'm definitely blessed to be at the point financially that I'm able to take a "risk" and not cash out now.

$100 Steem might be very conservative. If you think Steem could ultimately offer more value than Facebook (I do), then you are looking at a market cap valuation in excess of $550 billion. With current circulation that would work out to $2,200 Steem. 😎

STEEMIT is first and got monopoly right now, but if facebook lets say will join crypto then steemit will lose big audience and value.
In my opinion cryproworld now evolving and growing with hugesteps and we cant say will still be bitcoin in 5 years or etherium and steem. Many things depends on team, this year we will have hf20 and smt, but who knows what we will have in next year and so on, if we lag then steem price will go back to 10 cents, but if we continue to evolve then its possible to be at 250-1000 $ per steem!

This is so true. Do you want to be successfull on Steem? Stop thinking about how to get upvotes and start thinking about how you can help Steem grow. Projects and initiatives that help Steem grow are rapidly discovered and supported.
And when that day comes, when Steem is at $100, you will look back and wonder how it was possible that there was ever a shred of doubt in your mind.
You CAN do it.

I've seen this first hand from $1 to whatever the price is currently. Friends were not interested when I was working for 2 months to only make $100. Now that I've been working 6 months and closing in on the $10,000 mark with taking profits off the platform to invest in projects I believe in I've since had 2 friends sign up.
I'm hoping to close in on growing this account to $50,000 - $100,000 by the end of the year. Will this happen? Maybe, it's heavily dependent on the price of Steem slowly increasing and not decreasing, but it doesn't stop my desire and enthusiasm to see this platform cointinue to grow and thrive.
As a community developer, OCD currator, and a member in several communities on the platform I'm heavily invested in growing myself and this platform.

I'm excited to think we are still in the beginning stages of Steemit. Whenever I tell someone about this place, I get a lot of weird looks and doubt that I could actually make money off of posting stuff. To be fair, it's a pretty new idea with the block chain technology to back it up. I've never heard anyone say $100 for steem eventually (usually like 20 or so) but man I hope you're right. There's no doubt in my mind that this place will keep on growing, and I'm so happy I joined when I did.

I love how optimistic your posts are. I am the MOST unlikely "success" story you can imagine. I have no tech skills, I am so intimidated by chats that your suggestion to "start a discord channel" kinda made my heart skip a beat... I don't like bots and I complain about autovotes at every opportunity... I doubt I will ever start a major project, I live in the middle of nowhere. I want to take part in ophumanangels but I have been waiting for my weekly trip to the store for sticky notes - I just do not have access to many resources. But here I sit, sharing my world with the rest of the world, trying to be helpful, funny and honest. And that alone is paying off.

I cant say about the Future prices of steem, but It definetly have space to grow big.
But we gotta keep an eye on what is happening outside. Like bitcoin, steem is the First of its kind, but something better may also appear in the Future.

I agree with you completely @cryptoctopus.
Thank you for relating what I, too, have been saying. STEEM is only starting to move. My prediction is still $100 by year end. I am still trying to work out the user sign up rate but I am leaning towards at least 3M by year end.
We are in the very early stages. Blockchain is a revolutionary technology which is just starting to emerge. There is a good 10 year run before we see the total benefits of what is going to take place. In that time, we will see the abundance that comes from the Internet coming into the money arena. We also are going to see DAOs which will radically alter the idea of a corporation.
In the end, humanity is going to benefit and I feel that STEEM will be at the center of it all.
As for you being "lucky", horsecrap. There were a lot of lean days back then from what I read and there were many times which this entire "experiment" looked like it could collapse. Those who were willing to stay in there and keep at it, even putting their own money at risk, deserve to profit.
People who talk about those being lucky because they could get in when it was cheap are also the ones who fail to add more STEEM when it pulls back now. As you stated, by Spring, $6 STEEM will look cheap.

Powerful @cryptoctopus!
Here is some inspiration for Steemians who may not know what they would blog about:
Start a month long project, and study it, learn about it, and commit to blogging about that subject every day for one month.
HAVE FUN WITH IT! 😀
Here's an illustrative example on my blog @scan0017, where every day in the month of January you will find a different article of footwear from my embarrassingly ridiculous and fabulous collection. They're gorgeous, you'll love them, and most importantly, you'll probably laugh because I make the posts as funny as possible.
We live in a beautiful world 🌎 🌍 , and enthusiastically sharing with each other makes it a more wonderful place for everyone!
Steemit is less than two years old.
Anyone joining now will be remembered by history as an early adopter.
Blog with your audience in mind, speak to your readers by using the words "you" and "I" in proportion to your ears and mouth, and reach into your creativity to discover what you have to offer the world.
You might surprise yourself!
All my love and kisses,

What do you think where we are at the innovation bell? I think we are at the beginning of the early adopters. Daily registrations start to accelerate. Currently we have 3000 registrations a day. That means total users increase 3.7% per week or extrapolated to the year 561% per year (1,037 ^ 52 - 1).

I strongly agree that steem's current price is still less than what it's really worth. Also, the platform is still young and there's just too much potential.
This is also very true. I noticed that the effort and dedication someone gives to the platform is somehow proportional to his/her rewards. Of course there are exceptions like if you have connections that will give huge boosts to your posts.

I totally agree with the OP. STEEM is the cryptocurrency with the most number of utilities and functionalities. Being an early adopter of Litecoin who mined (since 2013) and gained through trading around 4000 LTC and finally lost them all in bad trading. Even if I had those LTC, I could not stop my temptation to sell them at $30 or $50 (too early LTC went pass $300). I had my hard lessons and able to grasp some STEEMs. I am HODLing them and not thinking of selling any time soon at all. Here is my few cents to promote STEEM:

Oh yeah, I think starting a new social media platform is one of the most difficult things you can start, since it would require a lot of users in order to attract new users (since no one wants to use an empty social network), so it's a bit of a paradox.

Yeah, Steem is a really good cryptocoin. People tend to think of it as only a social media, and completely forget that it's also a coin with no transaction fees, 3 second block times, and a coin that is able to handle extreme amount of transactions at the same time compared to most other coins.

I have to say from someone who has used steemit for the past four months that indeed there are many opportunities to earn and create growth. I have never seen anything like this before where people help one another to earn a living through the internet at amazing rates. Even if you can not create your own following by following others you can still earn a lot.
I have absolutely no skill what so ever related to computer programming yet I am learning from many others through discord channels and steemit platform. Even just learning can earn some rewards. Of course to earn the most is to take initiative of creating your own followers. I am still trying to find what I can offer, and for now I will follow those who have been successful and learn from them. Thanks :)

Very well said Sir @cryptoctopus, I do agree with the statement:
you and I are not the average person. We are an incredible group of pioneers that discovered something way before it became popular.
I always give thanks to those people (Seniors, Whales), who trusted on the platform and continued their journey at that time when nobody trusted on steemit (In early 2016 and so on). These are the real people who made the foundation and now everyone is enjoying. Lot of people have left their permanent jobs. Many have changed their lives with the help of steemit. And many have came up with lot of innovation ideas like:
@sndbox , @steemstem, @steemyfy, @busy.org and many more.
Thanks a lot for your aggressive blog @cryptoctopus. I love your attitude and always support your words as you're in the foundation of this platform. You have got lot of :
================RESPECT====================
Always keep smiling and Stay Blessed!

I'm a hodler. A few thousands dollars worth of Steem or SBD is not exactly life changing for me. However, if it's a hundred thousands, that's pretty much a different story. Trying hard not to give in to short term thinking and temptation. Steem on and hodl on!

Well @cryptoctopus
You are constant inspiration to many including me, you always right pretty well and your analysis skill is beyond the best for which i am really convinced that you are the best when it comes to make a prediction in cryptomarket.
There is no wonder the value of Steem will rise with the passage of time and everyone is convinced upon this very factor.
Thanks to Steemit for changing the lives of many and thanks to you who always guide the minnows in a very right way.
Stay Blessed, Steem On

Steemite experienced a huge increase during the month. There are fluctuations now. According to my opinion, steemit will be valued much more. We will reach steemiti more people as its pioneers. We will make more value to steemit.

Seeing STEEM go to $6 was really great to see, also was painful I remember the price going down to $0.80 back in November should have bought more that time and went all in.
I think it is still a bargain at $6 with the upcoming release of SMT it will continue to surge.

You are absolutely right, @cryptoctopus, $6 per steem is very very cheap. I love this technology and important thing is that this platform is ad-free. open any website all of them are full of ads. We should focus on quality content to make this place better.
Thanks for this amazing post.

Sums it up well. Having ended the year on target with 10 000 SP, I want to make at least a 2 year commitment to the platform. It is so easy to get carried away by fluctuations on a monthly or weekly basis that you lose sight of the bigger picture.
The fact is that unlike many other blockchains, things are actually being built and used on STEEM. This will only continue in 2018 and slowly but sure it will be noticed.
Yup. This is what got me hyped about STEEM to begin with, the fact that by making all participants stakeholders of the ecosystem (small, or big) you are incentivized to report the problems you observe and assist the innovators/developers in making the place better. It's like the customers of the product receives a tiny amount of shares in the company they purchase from by making valuable feedback on their user experience, something the company would otherwise spend a lot of time and money trying to understand with market analysis and customer satisfaction surveys, and probably get it wrong regardless.
Hope to report on one such problem we think we may have built a good solution for shortly, and I hope the community can give its feedback! :)

there is such an old saying: "anyone can become any"
that is, with a long effort, each of the users can benefit and become more popular ...
You give a forecast, but it can happen earlier, because people every day more actively connect to the platform.
If you benefit others it is appreciated.

Steem is already making a huge difference in my life. I want to help the community to grow, specially the brazilian community to become more relevant.
Coincidentally, today I followed your advicie of creating a project. I launched a collection of badges to be used by the ones who are serious about creating content here or in the other platforms built over the steem blockchain. If you are someone who are tottaly in on usign DTube, so you can consider yourself a DTUBER, if you like Steemit more, a STEEMER, and so on. I believe this will help people to identify the difference between posts from different platforms.
Can't wait to see SMT working and to where it will lead us.
Great post! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

You're right, it's very cheap. We start the year with the right foot and every time it will be more due to the great demand that this social network is having in which everything we do is valued more and more. this is something that is very hard to achieve in another social network that will never be like this in the end, which for me is the best social network.
Have a great day @cryptocropus!

Dealt with your positive instinct was great. I was really reading so many content about what idea was the best to be capable of achieving goals here, as i am new here and my mind was always guessing what story should i wrote or article that help me. sadly I did nothing because of lack of education. Now in my almost 100 days here i was not lucky to earn a good one. so sad but I was trying and trying maybe some other day with your great articles. and more education to all of your post. I was able to have a great content. thank you for this educational article.

I think for steem now can be considered to be in an early stage of adopters. But if we consider smart media tokens, this could bring us back to new beginnings. Innovators stage. I could see 100$ earlier for 1 steem.

I also strongly believe that you are right! I may not been here as early as I hoped, but I believe that this platform will keep growing when more people understands it's huge potential.
The best thing about this platformed for me so far has been to see how much hope and opportunities it can give to people from parts of the world where it's hard to live. We as users can make a big difference to someone and that is going to be one of my goals when I continue to grow here.

This is not the first time the thought of $100 steem has been suggested! I wouldn't be surprised to see that happening! I am not sure why but I believe we are somewhere between the end of the "early adopters" and the "early majority". As far as Steem(it) goes, I joined back in March and it would seem that I should not be included in the innovators conversation. That is for you, papa-pepper, stellabelle, fyrstikken, etc.

@dragosroua hinted in a recent post that Steem could be the de facto block chain for SMT and a probable competitor of Ethereum. If that is the case, then $100 is too short.
