Every great leap forward in our species development and evolution, whether on the micro personal level or macro global level began and still begins with an "I BELIEVE...." statement.
WHAT is believed or HOW it's going to happen are secondary considerations. As long as the WHY is right, nearly everything else is just craft.
Dr. Martin Luther King ...."I believe" The Wright Bros BELIEVED they could fly. Muhammed Ali BELIEVED he was the Greatest of all time. ALL BEFORE IT HAPPENED.
Here's the key. You gotta get everyone else to believe what you believe too if you want to achieve anything worthwhile on a major and long lasting scale.
This is just my pre-amble to say that Steemit, I believe will grow organically, and more importantly nothing will stop it's growth so long as its core beliefs align with those of it's early adaptors who will spread the word becuase it's their belief and passion too.... to the early majority who will want to be a part of where all the cool people are. Once you have reached this critical mass or tipping point, then you are over the initial hump, and the strategy and vision for the platform needs to move to mid-to long term growth and development. There is a very strong possibility this will be shaped by the community itself and the relative influence and power of the "whales" founders will be checked. Quite simply, do anything to piss off your "kids" and they are not going to invite their friends around, keep doing it and they'll run away from home. Thats my tuppence :)
