Hello Luke, two quick questions for you.
Q1) Is the SSI you or something you are running that will become bigger than you?
Observation) I think right now there is Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter, Instagram and more dwarfing the very old school looking, basic blogging version of Steemit. Daily engagement might be low now because Steemit is not mainstream. We're probably still in an early adopter phase.
Another Observation) When I first discovered Steemit/was researching it, i wondered if it was a ponzi/pyramid scheme for a long time.
Q2) What's it going to take for Steemit to break through and become mainstream, people's daily social media driver? A larger user base, more validity of the Steem Dollar, or more features of the platform?
Thanks for the questions!
Yes it will grow bigger than me, check my latest post to see our plans.
I can't answer that yet, but I would say larger dedicated user base. Feel free to message me on steemit chat if you want to talk more about this!
