Most people would agree that the architecture is amazing. And to think that this entire platform was conceived and developed by 2 young guys is astounding. It makes Facebook look shameful in comparison.
Given that it's such a well-integrated platform with huge potential, most Steemians are very optimistic about it. But the only ones who will achieve true, verifiable, long-term success are those who keep plugging away at it.
While a few Steemians achieved almost instant success, they are the ones who brought hundreds of their followers to Steemit from their previous blogs / sites / newsletters. All the other whales and big fish became successful only through diligence, dedication, and constant effort.
Hope you are up for it. Let's talk in one year's time, and see where this amazing platform is, and where we are on it.
