I love #steemit, and I am beginning to wonder about the extent of its potential. Seriously: just how far can it go?
Like so many of us, well, all of us, I love steemit. "Why?" you ask. And I ask too.
It's more than the steem.
It's more than its 'gateway drug' entry point to the whole 'crypto thing' vibe.
It's more than the ideas that are blossoming here.
It's more than the community we're building.
And I'm thinking, it's more than all these things together, too.
I love steemit because it provides a place where we can express ourselves and experiment with words (poems and prose, essays and opinions) and ideas and art (art!). And reward each other for our expression.
It provides a link across boundaries of nations and cultures (if not perhaps language). And through this, it gives us an opportunity to really connect with people of other cultures and places - and discuss what really matters.
Through this, it has the potential to help us all become the human beings we want to be.
I know this is a big call - and at the moment only a possibility. But it is a very real possibility.
Because steemit has the potential.
Please share your thoughts.

I have joined this community for 10 days probably. I still think that Steemit has a real potential but it also has a bad structure for newbie. What I mean is newbie's SP is too small and it made them feel frustrated easily. Maybe it can make some of them think that they have to invest some money in Steemit but other people will easily get out of here. Fortunately, I got some delegated SP from whale and now I enjoy writing my article. I don't need that much money. I just need some people who can read my memorable writing. That's it but it is quite hard goal in Steemit for newbies.
By the way, I keep writing about Denmark exchange student life and Europe travel. If you are interested in it, visit my post :)
Hey followme I totally understand that. Not sure what to do about it though. I have helped a few people out to get a few SBD soothed can use @minnowbooster and @randowhale etc and start to build their steem power.
Thanks for commenting. I'll check your posts!
yeah I sometimes used those bot you mentioned above. In my case, I had some upvotes in korean community after I got 1000SP but I still can't have enough votes in usual community. Maybe it is caused that I don't have enough foreign followers... haha. So I try to interact some foreigners day after day. Actually that was my most important goal. I don't have enough chance to meet foreigners in Korea so Steemit is awesome place for me haha. Thank you for understanding what I meant.
I see what you mean where it is hard for a newcomer to find its way and get some attention to the content he/she creates. But this is the same as with other platforms like twitter, facebook, instagram, etc.. The fact steem works with the upvotes it has potential to overcome that problem i think.. We'll see how it goes! :)
yeah every SNS has similar problem haha. The reason why I have more complains is because I'm newbie probably haha.
I agree beekart
I guess we'll have to wait and see - and try to help where we can 😊
Yes... I see it same way... #Steemit has great potential and a great future I guess... from now "only" 350 k members what about gaining acceptance like facebook etc ?

I would be quiet fond of getting to know your opinion about my ieda ;)
Hey - that's cool :-)
Well done 👍
People that earn good money from it will of course say this, I was exited about it when I joined and earned from 10 to 40 dollars from post, but after the hf19 I start to earn just a few cents from a post, I hope things will change very soon, I am really working hard and posting almost every day
I hope so too :-)
Thanks for sharing, clixmoney
Please check my post, tell me what's wrong I am doing ? Why I have so much followrs, I advertise steemit everywhere and I earn cents ? what I have to do to earn at least a few dollars ?
thanks for yr post, for sure Steemit is a reality and has a lot of potential also thanks to all of us and it is a nice way for everyone to choose and share his own interests

Steemit is beautiful @drwom ! thank you for this.
If you have time, i'd be more greatful after reading this post of mine sir. Pls see my blog.

That's really cool !
The word has not only to spread,
that would explain so much...
I see amazing potential for Steemit and want it to really take off. I have never wanted to be so involved on a social media/blogging site before and I am just happy to be a part of it.
thanks for the information. what your news is useful for us all ..
It is truely more than we can understand.
Steemit is a revelation to the world.
I like this part here you said.
I have just learned a new word from a post a few minutes back.
The word is "amigo".
Stay great amigo.
I love steemit too and also the steematians...although i m very new here but now i m addicted to it..thanks for the post .
I think it's a consensus that steemit has changed the way to express opinions or share sth. Steemit is only a beta now, I look forward to seeing how prestigious it'll become.
"I love steemit because it provides a place where we can express ourselves and experiment with words (poems and prose, essays and opinions) and ideas and art (art!). And reward each other for our expression."
That and that it's a positive community here that'd look out for each other.
When money is involved in any community, it's usually to entrepreneurship. And when a bunch of entrepreneurs get together, it usually becomes on huge circle jerk where they just talk about great they are with the amount of money they made.
Steemit is a great place to start with anything indeed, even just making mere comments.
Good one @drwom
I'm still super new to Steem, but from what I've seen it has quite the potential to grow to a super cool platform for all kinds of news, art, tech, games.. creativity! Looking forward and excited to see how this story plays out ;)
