@mountainjewel I appreciate the resteem. I hope you like the reward for that! It's fair to say steemit is in its infancy with only 50'000 active users compared to the billions that Facebook has. (they claim 2.07 billion monthly active users and 1.378 billion daily active users).
I am glad you mentioned cex.io. I was not aware of this exchange. I have a good feeling aboiut it and will check further.
For steem and sbd, you may want to check out bitshares.
Thanks for the tip on bitshares and the huge upvote! That's bigger than most of my posts! Lol Crazy statistics re:Facebook and steemit. I'm really trying to help my friends understand they can post and write over here and make money, but old habits die hard. Thanks again and have a good solstice (wherever you are!). I'll be following for more insights ;)
Also, this is the initiative re: cex.io and steem :)
I will definitely petition cex.io to list steem.
