Is there too much great content which is killing the motivation of the new users? The current post that shows up on the trending page is most likely creating a silo of big wallet users and a silo of $0.01 users. They are not going to mix unless something changes. We are also seeing the minnows leave because what is the point of posting if you are going to be stuck in the $0.01 silo.
Most social sites become popular because of the silly, benign, and also controversial posts on their site or apps. Steemit needs more of this. Which, will cause households to begin talking about Steemit which creates more lasting users. Steemit will then become a household name and as popular as Facebook.
Bitcoin isn't a household name yet. Steemit should take advantage of that fact and take the crown or someone else will.
