...Maybe not as a social phenomena, but in the cryptocurrency world there are lots of coins doing well. I think Steem peaked around number 5 in the chart when it was up around $4, but these days it is fighting it out with various others that I don't know much about. I do hear some of them talked about by @marketingmonk when he discusses who is going up and down on his podcast. Steem is not actually changing much as it's been stuck around 16c for a while now. It's just that others have been growing recently, so I'm not worried. I'm making a few dollars on posts and my Steem is keeping its value.
Hypestat. Of course I'd love to see growth, but I'll settle for stability. I'm hoping the planned improvements from the roadmap plus alternatives like Busy will bring in new users. I've been pushing Steemit on other social sites, so the word is spreading. The problem is that sites like Facebook have very powerful gravity and it's hard for people to break away. Apparently FB is up around 1.86 billion users with over 1 billion visiting daily! Even if it grows x100 Steemit will still be a minnow in comparison.In general the Steemit community is also fairly stable according to the daily reports by @elyaque and the web stats from
Have a great week!

I think Steem should combine Busy together so it has the best of both worlds, Then it would have the easy of use of Facebook and the feel of the original Steemit platform. Busy is great but it just adds to confusion to new users.
It is important for people to feel they are in a space, on facebook they "feel" they are in a particular space.
I think video will do better on Busy because it tends to highlight the video first.
Steemit doesnt do that,it features the image first. So that means the result of the type of viewer must be affected.
If you on Busy you are still on Steemit but it "feels" different.
It could cause some confusion about what service they are using.
steem ftw!
It's up to us to make it happen. Spread the word
Agreed, will do.
Steem is doing just fine.

I don't think that Steemit should compete with Facebook as long as those platforms are quite differents.
Steemit is more a blogging platform with some social features, not a social platform like Facebook, Twitter or Google+.
Steemit should be competing against WordPress, Medium and Tumblr. Many Google+ users are writing long posts, so maybe they should also be considered, although being considered very often as a social platform.
I loved this sentence. I think that it has been the first time I have read "gravity" when talking about Facebook and its users.
