Not getting to much into the details or odds of the platforms success chance of making it as big as the "big" ones, but since this is still the early stage of steemit and everything is saved on a secure block-chain, it would be fun to get back to this post in the future and bring back a nostalgic feeling of the early phase.
I can't help but feel excited about all the new users that are joining and finally getting in contact with the block-chain technology and slowly getting to know its perks and difference to the limitless opportunities it brings.
Once newcomers stick around and get past the "beginning" part smoothly they start to quickly get a better grasp of it all and their steemit experience starts to take off! Remember that even though it might feel difficult now, Steemit is in the process of evolving all the time, adapting to its community and userbase. That's the beauty of open-source code.
Don't be shy to ask, we have all been there at one point and asked "dumb" questions.
Hope everyone is having a good week!
