Thanks for the reminder @taskmaster4450!
It's one of those "easily forgotten" milestones, but looking back on it, it definitely does seem to mark a turning point where people stopped just "coasting along" and started realizing that we can't just "wait for something to happen" and Steem will magically reach greatness all by itself.
Of course, I'm a blogger more than anything... but I never lost faith in the idea that there is a great community here... and if we use that to build (rather than just obsess over "what's the price of Steem today?") then there really is something awesome here.
