It is only a few months old and there is a long way to go before it does (but a long way, in today's realtime, instant world, can be months, not years)

I agree with this, and you can easy tell that development to price speculation has really picked up with blockcain technology.
Compare bitcoins run from 0.4 cents to 1200$, took 5-6 years, now with Ethereum it only took them around 2 years to reach 20$ with even less time on exchanges. With Steem it seems to have gone even quicker, mass adoption will be amazing for Steemit! Can't wait for an exciting future! :)

In other words, I'm here until the end.

That's great to hear @dollarvigilante!
