Phase one complete, I moved from red fish to minnow not to long ago. Not sure I want to reach Phase V, that was a rather scary movie. But I will face my trails to phase V when the time comes. 7 or 8 years, maybe longer, but long term is long term. There are a few nice communities growing, I am sure more will continue to grow, we may be in the slumlord state, but control is being implemented, people are coming together, and the community is improving.
When I joined, there were no helping hands to be easily found, now the helping hands go out to the new users. There are outreach groups growing every month now on steemit. People are seeing small communities beginning to have an impact.
Oh by the way @ned, it would be nice if you did give a significant SP boost to @tarazkp to help build that middle class that I would like to be a member of one day.
It will happen slowly but is it going to be enough in time? I think communities are going to have to get a little more organised even before 'communities' arrive.
btw, threw you a follow and will help a little where/when I can.
Here is the answer to that question in my humble opinion:
No
I see my friends and very good community people bail every day. Two left just yesterday. Maybe one day we can help them, but the time is now for people like you to help the groups that are serious like @comedyopenmic @helpie, @asapers,@ifc, @cryptoempire @newbiegames @greetersguild... And that isn't even counting the ones that I'm involved directly with (I don't want to taint my plea with anything I deal with directly).
If we don't get someone like you to get the attention at the top, then in my opinion we won't make it in time! I am only here for the great people I have met, but if I can't make a difference then I too will leave.
You are already helping, you and @abh12345, both have the health of steemit foremost in your hearts and minds. If you need a really really good idea man look at what @davemccoy came up with. Since joining with @dustsweeper, my SP has grown fairly well, all those tiny dust votes I used to get, the one that just go poof didn't happen, well I get that intended reward, the vote caster gets his voting reward, and the money remains in the system instead of just disappearing. A Win-Win solution for all involved. I don't know how long the whales will let it stand, but for now it is a huge help.
