To compare, MySpace had its 100 millionth user sign up in 2006, and by 2008 was over taken by Facebook. So, even though MySpace would have gained in users from that 100 millionth guy in 2006 until the beginning of its end in 2008 and Facebook's rise, the user numbers at their peak are kinda incomparable.
Still, I like the sentiment and I agree that Steemit or a similar platform using blockchain tech for social media rewards should (and probably will) grow to have a significant market map. Bitcoin is around the $10bn mark at the moment, with something like 1.5 million wallets as of two years ago (2014). Is that a feasible rule of thumb? Come 1.5 million users the STEEM market cap will have reached $10 billion, I guess this being a rewards based ecosystem we'll see a greater value as people feel a vested interest in the platform and want to produce better and better content. That, plus a growth in numbers. Interesting times ahead here, no doubt!Seems like this could be the case, but as @voltarius said in his post ( https://steemit.com/steemit/@voltarius/about-to-perform-my-very-first-albeit-small-power-up-to-steemit ) Facebook has a huge usage and there is a long way to go for Steemit's 50,000 users to grow to out-do Facebook's 1.7billion users. That's the whole of CHINA! ...too many people to suggest it will disappear.
