What if Communities & SMTs are launched during a full-blown bull market?
If Communities & SMTs were launched last bullrun, every content creator and their mom would likely have/want one. Bear markets, obviously every crypto becomes less attractive. But when the bull returns, SMTs will have huge potential to go viral.
I remember hearing horror stories of people waiting 3 months to get an account. During that last bull, if we had instant accounts, we could very well see numbers of up to 10x what we saw then, meaning we could easily be at around 10 million, even 20 million Steem accounts.
Having to wait even a few days is incredibly harmful for mass adoption. Instant accounts mean you can sign up a friend instantly as well, and that compounds very quickly for social networks.
Point is, Steem is highly underrepresented when it comes to that stats. Steem has tremendous attention memory.

Having just received the largest upvote of my + 1-½ year "journey" on our Steem blockchain @theycallmedan, I just wanted to "stop by" and express my heartfelt appreciation for it. I assume it is in support of the TrendThis initiative, which has you listed as a potential supporter.
I work hard to write content of value, as it "has my name on it," no matter how it comes to be viewed and ultimately supported "in here." I have no sense of entitlement or any such thing. Not in my upbringing. Not in my character.
But ... It certainly is encouraging when my efforts show up on the "radar screen." This is my first post to ever appear on Trending ...
Thank you for all you do to "spread the wealth" out as far and wide as you can manage. It can only add value to our Steem blockchain. For the mutual benefit of us all.
P.S. Hope you don't mind me leaving this expression of gratitude here, as I do not know where else to put it.
Your post was amazing and well deserving! Going to follow you so I can catch your future ones. Thanks for the kind words. :)
Oh my, well, I am seldom at a loss for words, but ... 🤔
You are very kind. Are you sure you are a whale? 😉 Obviously you are, but not like any whale I have encountered up until now. May your "tribe" increase!
I will follow you and learn more about you, as time permits. Until "next time," all the best to you and yours, for a better tomorrow! 👍
I like that idea about getting Steem on more exchanges with contest and giveaways. We all need to get the ball rollin' on that.
posted this on another one of your comments as well but we indeed need exchanges but they also need to be used, if no one uses it the exchange will kick us out. We have a steem pair on Lykke.com (swiss exchange with dollar onramp) . Its something people want and then we have it but its not used
Good point. https://www.coingecko.com/en/exchanges/lykke Lykke has only 100k 24 volume total.
I would like to see some exchange listing in more Asian exchanges. Of course a Coinbase would be a game changer, Asian countries are very bullish on crypto atm.
they are located not far from me. I could pay them a visit :-)
Sounds like time to power down and be ready. :)
@theycallmedan, Bull Run phase brought lot of attention to Cryptocurrency Space and in this aspect there is no doubt. Yes, if we visualise current Developments on Steem Blockchain with that Bull Run phase then definitely Steem would be flooded with Masses because opportunities and space for creation provides by Steem Blockchain is just so empowering and most importantly inspiring.
But Universe 🌌 have it's own Timeline to influence every aspect. Let's hope that we are moving towards the right direction and everyone of us will travel a very meaningful journey.
Have a abundant time ahead and stay blessed brother. 🙂

Here's to hoping!! We see a few raging bulls and huge adoption soon. That would be entertaining!! 🐃🐂🐃
It does look like the stars are set to align better this time, if/whenever that is.
Hope so. What I’m wondering is if it does start booming, will we see the droves of folks who abandoned this joint, come running back?!?

I reckon so. Plus a new wave who should hopefully get sorted for accounts and find their niche way easier than before.
While I have almost been here for 2 years, it has been a constant downward trend with folks bailing each month. It will be nice to see some new blood and old faces again...
We've been campaigning for coinbase listing for quite a while now but it's not pulling through, that one will be really definitive. Two three or four other listings and I'm saying steem might be for the run
Strike while the iron is hot they say. Well when it comes to technology you have to strike even earlier. In other words that would be right about now, before the next bull run, if SMTs is not launched within short and if instant account creation is not working smoothly. Well.. Then the next bull run will be affected tremendously for Steem as well.
