RE: 75M+ Coming To STEEM Without Changing What They Are Doing???? This Could Be Huge!!!!
If only 0.5% of those authors will come to the Steem blockchain it would be around 375K users. We now have a little above 65K daily active users, so it would mean a huge jump in activity on the blockchain. A much needed one!
Not only that, imagine that one of those big shots, will announce that they will be moving to the Steem blockchain, that would open the flood gates :)
They don't have to pay anymore for the storage of the blog, which will decrease the costs! But what maybe will held them back to make the jump, is the URL. Some of these will have their own URL and it will be hard to give this up and to destroy all their build up rankings in the search engines. Maybe that is another feature that the blockchain will have to implement. Let's assume that they need to pay X amount of steem to be able to use their own URL. This is maybe something the steem blockchain needs for mass adoption!
The URL could stay the same, it would just need to be directed at the blockchain. And if they have pics or videos, that would have to still be stored on a cloud service or their own servers. Pics and videos are not on the STEEM blockchain....anything submitted through Steemit is on AWS.
The challenge at the moment is the sign up process. I am hoping the Steemit development team is close to solving that issue. Looking at the stats the last few days, only 500-700 signups per day.
I know there is more interest than that.
