Over the last few months I detailed a number of different factors I believe all will lead to exponential growth on this blockchain. There is so much going on with apps, SMTs, and the move towards decentralization that we can see a future where STEEM is a central part of people's online experience.
The next 5 years is really going to see a radical shift in the world. Right now there are 4 or 5 initiatives which are receiving huge amounts of financing. These initiatives are all designed to blanket the planet with mobile/broadband communications.
We presently have only about half the world's population online. Projects such as SpaceX, OneWeb, and SAS are looking to resolve this. All seek to use satellites to provide services to the rest of the world that presently lacks digital communication.
This is one of the most important aspects to the next decade. The fact that half of the population is cut off from the world's knowledge base means that many more are going to be joining and enjoying what humanity has already accomplished. At the same time, these people bring with them a wealth of creativity and ingenuity that is presently missing. In short, we are doubling the potential creativity simply by doubling the number of users.
Imagine what this can do for a blockchain like STEEM. My article this morning posed a potential scenarion 10 years down the road. Imagine how many more people are eligible for that if we see the entire worldwide population online. It is safe to say those people in rural Central America and SE Asia would like social networking services too.
When we say the sky is the limit, it really is. There is no cap on what STEEM can be worth. People believe some of the figures tossed about are absurd. That is because they are looking things with reference points that are known aka the equities markets. This is nothing like that. We are talking about revolutionary technologies (blockchain and crypto) which are going to alter how society operates.
How much do you think a blockchain that is at the core of what a significant percentage of the world's population uses is worth?
Every single figure related to anything Internet is compiled with only half the world online.
Think about that for a moment.
This is a situation that will be eradicated in the next 5-7 years.
By 2025, you will see more than 6 billion people with mobile internet access.
I would saying being one of the first 1M people on here fits the definition of "early adopter".
