Warning - Imminent Minnow Swarm Incoming

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)


A massive influx of new users is most likely going to happen within the next few weeks due to the price increase. It is known that when a coin that undergoes a pump it also gains some massive attention in the crypto world. This newly acquired attention will almost guarantee a whole new group of people looking to see what the pump is about! 

I'm guilty of it, the big pump in July is what made me come and join the community. I have stuck through the monthly decline but those days are over, and now we are here once again with a massive price Pump! Currently up over 100% in 24hrs.


I feel sorry for the users who gave up and quit blogging because they will also probably return, but missed out on the great last couple months of re-distribution that was occurring while also gaining a name and following. 

Face it, the last couple months was full of good times because we were the users in-it for the long haul. Representing a group of individuals that supported Steemit even when prices were un-bearably low. Personally I enjoyed the small community we have going on, the massive noise of august has disappeared and the curation groups have helped nearly every user on the site. 

But we should be prepared to experience the Posting volume also increase significantly. I assume massive increases in all activity to correlate with this massive price increase. Which could potentially destroy the "small town" feel, but will ultimately lead to more diversified interests and a larger audience for all creators. More users will be the best thing Steemit could ask for, but I can't help feel that I will miss the time when the price and spirits were low and everyone basically knew everyone along with the drama that occured.


PLAN ACCORDINGLY

This time, I'm prepared for it! I have a decent reputation and a great group of followers that support me! I have increased my Steem power 50%+   in the past 4weeks due to the cheap prices and large steem payouts on postings. I couldn't be happier that I was here in the beginning and now I can hopefully consider myself an early adopter to the site!

This is basically a 2nd chance for steemit

New users will flood in, and hopefully we can retain more this time compared to what happened the first time around. I completely believe Steemit will accomplish a better user retention rate going forward

Hands down. I know steemit today is more geared toward content and helping new users getting recognized then it has ever been in the past. Steemit has changed in many aspects since I got here only a few short 4months ago.

I'm here for the long run, and with the updates and overhaul of the inflation rate, I feel better than ever about the potential future of Steemit.

Steem-on!

Yes, you make sense. I am looking forward to higher steem and more people coming in. Upvoted.

Thanks for the vote! Im glad you agree and have been involved in the community!

You are welcome.

I liked the comfy cozy feeling that has grown with helping others keep moral up whilst bearing the low payouts for content...I'll know who are the strong hearted here when good times show up!

Yes, that is exactly how I feel. I hope some things don't change but It will be interesting to see how things change in the next couple months

Good, the gardeners keep everyone fed ;-)

That's what gardeners do, isn't it? I'm glad you are a gardener, too!

I have to agree with you. I think these changes will change Steem for the better and give it a second chance.

Thanks for showing up and commenting and re-steeming! I'm pretty sure you were my first person I followed! For some reason you always remember the first for most things.

That's pretty cool... I am honored! Now I just have to write some more....

Just doing my part to raise the moral of Steemit! Good times lie ahead, keep on Steemin- on!

I just join but your right the news of STEEM going up peaked my interest and since I'm looking new ways to make some money I liked the idea and joined. Hope it will keep more users and increase the market cap.

You came at just the right time. Never too late! Good luck on your future with Steemit, I hope to see some of your content soon!

I really enjoyed reading your optimistic outlook. Not so sure I totally agree, but I don't want to be a wet blanket on our happy day parade. Let's hope you are correct on your forecast. STEEM ON!!

There have been plenty of negativity lately, It's refreshing to be one of the optimistic ones, and then have other optimistics users come and comment here.
I have faith in Steemit, and hopefully this price bump will attract the masses for round 2.

excellent post congrats
