With coincheck rising in member usage in the past 9 months to be triple of what we saw the numbers in April of last year.
We are seeing Japan make a rise in Altcoin usage and development, so much that Altcoins including Bitcoin and an array of others are accepted at the Japanese Exchange. This in turn has fueled growth in the Altcoin world as well as in the community of people who understand Blockchain, Bitcoin, as well as how Altcoins are going to affect the outcome of the world's economy in the years to come.
Last November, Coincheck launched an initiative called Coincheck Denki which allows the Japanese to pay their electric bills using bitcoin. Today there are approximately 200 subscribers for the service. The company believes that “this number will increase this year dramatically.”

Steemit is an altcoin just like any other, and with the increased usage of Bitcoins, and their acceptance. More and more people will start to understand more about the coins, as well as how to use them.
2017, will be the year we see the most significant increase in Cryptocurrency development, use, and overall worth.
With the user base of ALL altcoins increasing to the point where many are taking the spotlight, or simply fighting for a spot on coinbase.com Steemit and Steem are no different.
With Steemit.com now boasting over 12,000 active monthly users we are seeing an increase in user base as well as coin development.
