I am even more optimistic than you @stephenkendal (pls see my blog post yesterday for my reason). I suspect steemit will crack 1 Million by year end( mark my number and save it) . When the masses sees its benefits (especially China and India plus Nigeria), they will run from facebook, linkedin et al and move to a more profitable steemit. However smart promotion is needed (members like us should be empowered with tools to keep up our promotions). Fired up and ready to go:::
