@furiouspete123 and 
@hodgetwins were the top trending post.It is great to see the organic growth of the platform with more and more influencers becoming aware of the Steem interfaces, Steemit and dTube and giving the platforms a chance. It's a great opportunity to expand reach even before new features like Communities and SMTs arrive.
I'm really bullish on Steem currently. In a time in cryptocurrency where people are questioning the utility of these tokens, Steem shines bright as a practical example of what is possible and how the blockchain can disrupt existing industries.
Steem has two qualities that make it standout from traditional social media platforms. The first being the Steem blockchain is cannot be censored.
What is posted on the blockchain remains on the blockchain
The data posted to Steem does not sit on a central server. It cannot be removed on the whim of a company executive. This is appealing to many who find themselves censored on the basis that their views do not fit with the mainstream narrative.
The second attractive quality of Steem is that it is not own by a company. We, the users and token holders 'own' Steem. We have the ultimate say in it's direction. With our voice being as loud as our stake in the platform.
We decide how daily rewards are allocated. However we also elect who secures the blockchain and implements changes.
We are all Mark Zuckerburgs on the Steem blockchain.
I think it's great that Steem is expanding it's reach. With all the 'fish' analogies that fly around on this platform - my ultimate aim is to be a smaller fish in a much much bigger pond. That way I know Steem has succeeded and we all reap the benefits together.
NB: I'm also going to make a more conscience effort to post on dTube as well as Youtube. Whilst it is still nascent (and has all the teething problems associated with that), it is becoming an important part of the Steem blockchain and as such is worthy of support.
