@allowisticartist hey man!!
I want to start off by saying I'm sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner. I saw your awesome comment yesterday but I was on my phone and figured I'd wait until I was on a computer to respond(I don't like using Steemit on my phone very much; just less convenient). It was a great comment and I want you to know I appreciated it very much! I've just been very busy the last few days and haven't been on the platform at all

First of all, thank you so much for your kind words! Having no (serious) social media presence previously I feel pretty good about what I have accomplished here so far. I think your Steem vs. BTC view is very on point! Sure, it would have been great to be an early investor in BTC, I don't think anyone can deny that. But here, we are actually so involved in this community, and the fact the community even exists in the first place is amazing.

Wow! From September-Jan ~200,000 new accounts, and almost as many since. That is a sharp curve!

I am about halfway through the @minnowbooster article you posted and am very intrigued! I've heard of minnow booster but was unaware of the variety of use methods. I'm definitely going to try it out.

I think you and @rkz 's idea is great!! I am definitely very interested and would love to hear more as you guys make progress. It sounds like a really good idea and one that would work. I think Steem will go far and we will all find our own ways to add value. It sounds like you guys have a good head start! I'm still having trouble bringing people to Steemit, but I'm sure that will change as we continue to grow :)

Thanks so much again for coming by @allowisticartist and your comment! I always enjoy looking at your stuff, I have a list of a dozen or so accounts I visit every time I'm on the site and you're pretty high up there on that small list :) Looking forward to our future here on Steemit!
