Look at the growth in June alone. It doesn't say much for the long run I guess but when the idea of this platform is that people contribute and get paid for, then I see a golden future. Because every new person coming here wants to take a share of this and therefore starts to contribute.

On the other hand, Steemit needs to get more user friendly in order for newcomers to thrive and stay with the platform. I guess this is the biggest hurdle we have to take.
