Thank you for the elaborate response @kenny-crane. I definitely see where you're coming from. I've definitely seen many debates over the many years of being on here. There has always been good arguments for both sides. But I honestly believe that this is a scenario of "hate the player not the game." Haha

I believe I am a great example of what is possible if done properly. I've managed to grow my Steem Power from around 35k to working on 64k now in around a years time. And all I've done is lock it down and I'm able to better help support and prop up the platform that I've grew to love.

And what I was meaning by onboarding a ton of new users; I believe mass adoption/attention to any project like this would just mean a bigger market cap, new money coming in, and potentially make it ever more volatile. Which in-turn would get more people financially invested period, causing it to be more sought after and more people willing to pump money in to day trade or swing trade.

See with the inflation of SP naturally, and with the 16% APR I'm currently getting from @xiguang I'm making just under a 19% APR. But if you compound it daily its an even higher APR because of the exponential growth.

As for the platform not being able to support more people; I also am pretty ignorant when it comes to those logistics. I would hope that at this point in time after how long Steemit has been around; that there has been a steady progression of developing for the potential of far more users.

I also wanted to point out something else to you. If you go to my wallet you will see a bunch of witnesses that you can vote for that do profit sharing with their voters that almost all payout daily. I think I noticed that you may have only vote for one that does that. I just tough that maybe it would benefit you more help your account grow a little more passively. If you know of any others please let me know.
