I had known about Steemit for a while. I first was reading about Synereo (which I think is a version of the same thing, which isn't live yet?), and then I came across Steemit.
I regret not buying steem power back when I first knew about it lol. This kind of thing is very near and dear to my heart, I just didn't realize it was really ready to roll. Anyways, when I saw the price rising I took a closer look, and realized it's rolling and that there's already an active community.
Yeah, there's a decent bit of activity, we just got to get more people with enough SP to make a difference on a more regular basis.
Ya it's really top-heavy right now, so there's a bunch of variance whether a big gun comes through or not
