A really interesting post!
I do think that it will be harder and harder to rise above red fish status! I did start at the end of last year and continued to post during the falling steem price period! The best thing I could do!
Imaging that we would have 250K active users per day! How hard will it be for newcomers to get noticed. Extremely hard! When we would have reached that number the price of Steem also will have increased! Lets place the price tag at $10! You need 500 SP to surpass the red fish status, which would require an investment of $5000. Not lot of people are probably willing to do this. If we would like to reach Dolphin status it would require an investment of $50K.
Probably one or 2 persons are willing to invest so much money but then it ends!
So most growth will have to be organic and this will become extremely hard! For sure for the ones only signing up next year!
So for each extra million subscribers we could increase the numbers of the statuses above Red fish with maybe 5%!

I got lucky cuz I bought the majority of my STEEM under $1, got my initial investment back 3X and still have more than what I put in :-X
That is one of the advantages of being early on the platform. It was a good bet back them and that's why you did get rewarded! People are often complaining about it, but I on the other hand respect that brave decision, because without this the platform would be what it is right now!
