As a passionate Steemian, I believe that platforms like these are places to push the gospel of Steemit and the Steem BlockChain. I would be taking the liberty to talk the potentials of Steem & Steemit with some top shots to see how we could on board more quality content persons to the platform and populate the social platform and  build more quality here on.
