there are 8,301 people who have 500 SP or greater in the world. This really struck me when I really looked at it. For me, it is easy to get lost in the sheer numbers on here (600K users/30K daily authors)
WOW! I just learned I am one of those people... exciting? Yes... making me motivated? YES! Eye opening moment? YES!
Little things like this really encourage me, get my creativity ramping up and makes me want to thrive more.
ANd to think of the numbers of registered users on steemit vs. the number of active members who post daily or weekly is astounding. So many have signed up, stopped posting and commenting or have left all together.
Is this the best way to say the possibility of coming to steemit thinking it is a get rich quick platform and realizing all the work and dedication for success was too much for some; so they stopped coming?
I got in on steemit 6 months ago, found my place, got my rhythm and have settled in to some great communities and even found a side gig writing a daily newsletter. I have established myself, become a FTG Stewards of Gondor recipient and continue doing what I do EVERY day; writing quality content, commenting and being a steemit social butterfly; so far this recipe (for lack of a better word) has worked.
That is the point of the post @goldendawne. It is one of those aha moments.
Most of us take for granted that there are a ton of people ahead of us, with more SP when the reality is there are very few. Even the person with a few hundred SP is in a very small group. If people keep powering up, they will be part of a group of Steemians that can forge the future. We are just at the beginning stages....over the next couple of years, things will explode.
You are doing very well on here...it is always good to see people progress. It is exciting to think what the future holds for all of us.
Almost daily, between you, @abh12345 and a variety of other knowledgeable steemians, I find new information, statistics and (usually) positive steemit news that gives me more to mull over, consider and praise the platform about.
I am a numbers person. I like to see concrete evidence in charts showing the differences and with factual support. Things that are heresay or abstract just detour me to other means.
Keep on showing me the numbers!
I am glad I can help and provide some insight and motivation.
There is so much here, it is tough to get a handle on it all (for one person to do that). We all need to take up a piece and share it in our posts. It is how we all learn.
Awesome Information I Agree!!!
