Congrats on the follower milestone brother! It's much deserved. It's great to have you back man and hope you had a good vacation. Also,really great to see you on Dtube.
People I feel would much rather post a video or watch that blog or read a long post, so Steemit now being able to deliver media via Dtube and eventually Zappl I think will be a boon for the Steem price.
If we can ever get the exchange situation resolved, we could indeed be in for some very big gains and build some powerful momentum with the new technology moving forward!
