I'm so glad to read this and will keep following your report. I watch @penguinpablo and @arcange reports when I see them and I feel discouraged at the low numbers of minnows succeeding, but you have a different angle on it and this helps me feel better.
I have gotten a few people to get on steemit in 8 months here - maybe 15. Only a couple are still trying and a couple are very negative and gone. The rest - I do not know about, but they stopped posting after a short time. The barriers to entry are so high and the learning curve is so steep - at least if the rewards go up for the little guys a bit - that will help.
Steemit is a very tough interface to learn.
I believe we are going to have more success bringing people over via Zappl and D.Tube. These have a much lower learning curve.
But yes people do get discouraged especially when they do not make money quickly. This is compounded when the price of STEEM goes way down and there is nothing but FUD.
Sadly, those people will live to regret their decision. I believe many of the people who come on here will be back. There are a number I talk to who have accounts yet do not post...in over a year. When STEEM takes off, these people will realize the opportunity they missed.
As we keep charging ahead, and grow our accounts, we will benefit greatly. The price of STEEM will take off at some point. Until then, we just need to keep doing what we always do..post, comment, upvote.
yeah right bro we should keep patience our time will come
How high do you see the price of one steem being worth in, say, three years?
Considering I forecast $10 STEEM by St Pats Day, I might not be the best at it.
I still hold that we will see $100 STEEM by the end of the year if SMTs are released by July 1.
Let's hope so. SMTs could be a gamechanger! Love your posts, always very informative.
