"If steem proves to be successful in 5 years it will have (most likely) attracted bigger names."
I have already seen this start happening! Today I saw that youtube star Furious Pete has joined the steemit community and now posts here, and on Dtube. I personally think this is great for the platform, and is going to put more eyes on STEEM.
I think STEEM will perform very well in the years to come. This platform is gaining new users everyday and the community and system is great.
Exciting times are ahead of us!
