Crypto is in such an early stage, blockchain as a field is still in it´s infancy, and so is Steemit.
I see reddit as a proof-of-concept that shows that steemit will be much, much, bigger.
Because it showed that if people can produce that much content for a worthless karma - They would do it even more and better for real rewards.
Because of this of course, more and more good content creators will move from reddit and sites alike and carve their niche in the steemit blockchain - and get rewarded for real!
So to all newcomers to steemit, don´t rush off and sell your steem$ for todays prices, and those posts you made will be much more valuable in the future.
