It is exciting that Steemit reached its 1 millionth user! I joined in July of 2016 - the site has changed so much since I started! @timcliff and I were at Steemfest this last fall. The site is growing so fast - eventually they are going to need an auditorium for Steemfest to fit everyone lol :)
Hahah I love the squirrel! I actually had one fall out of a tree and I actually took it in and took care of it until it got attached to me. You've caught it in the perfect moment.
I definitely agree with you, we are still in the infancy stage in regards to the bigger names out there, but we'll continue to grow as Steemit develops further and further!
