Stepehen - with most cryptos sooner or later going to be proven without base and with August forking and eventual recovery - I think it is possible that projects like Steem (and especially Steem) may surpass your conservative estimates, which we all hope for!
I know there are at least 10 new Steemians because of my recommendations and in next few months - I am going to personally ask 'worthy' folks in my circles to join Steem revolution - so - yeah - I am optimistic of your projection and hopeful it will be surpassed!
Thank you for sharing.
