So steemit has been growing at an exponential rate ever since its beginning!
But then again so does every single social media site, it's just how they grow since no one really advertises social media sites.
It should also be noted that we have a reasonable amount of inactive users and accounts here on steemit! One user found a loop hole and created 1000's of accounts to up vote himself! Crazy, very unethical but none the less he was a clever Russian man!
Steemit users have increased by 168% since the beginning of 2017! If we continue at this exponential rate we will hit over 1 million users by the end of 2018! So does 10USD for steem still seem crazy? I think not!
The only concern I have for steemit's ridiculous growth is the rewards pool thinning out! None the less, if your planning on getting in on steemit the time is now! It's not too late!
