I amn't a pessimistic but I do think steemit is not going to have that bright future as everyone is thinking. It may or may not have.
Initial people in steemit has grown a bit easily and now a days building a profile is becoming a bit hard.
Imagine if someone start another platform just like steemit then people would run there to catch the larger pie.
If the newer platforms provide better options than steemit then people would go there.
Steemit should be upgrading overtime just like the apple. Then I guess it would have the brightest future.
