People talk about tens of millions signing up, but when you think about it, our present growth rate, even with manual approval, is like 10% a month. Imaging a company that was growing at that rate in the "real" world, it was be the darling of Wall Street.
That is why this is huge. If the growth rate, from word of mouth, was increased to 20% based upon auto approval, that is a significant rate of growth which would amount to a big number for steem. Of course, I see a much higher rate of growth than that since the word is starting to spread to quickly.
Twice this week, we ended up in articles posted on Zerohedge which is a well read website. Sure it isnt CNN but it isnt Joe's blog either.
Yeah, the more popular STEEM is, the more attention it will get from all kinds of sources, which will lead to even more popularity and attention.
It's not gonna be long until we see the biggest websites talking about STEEM.
So far Medium and Zerohedge were the biggest.
But yes, when there are a couple million total users, I imagine it will start to creep into the mainstream news.
One big story could add hundreds of thousands of users in a short period of time.
