I've been telling everyone that I know:
This is the year that blockchain begins disrupting major industries. Already we have top content creators from YouTube switching over to Steemit, and looking to bring their communities with them. There's growing discontent with Facebook, Google, and other major companies and this is going to lead to a widespread adoption of new, decentralized apps.
Those of us who get in early will reap the greatest rewards, and those who adopt later not so much.
I'm excited to see major publications picking it up, but it just means that the timeframe between when widespread adoption begins occurring will be shorter!
