I read some of your recent posts. Good stuff! You have a new follower.

Thanks @ew-and-patterns, great to hear! I have a new post coming in a few hours, great that you like my work :)

Thank you!

This is encouraging and really exciting :) I'm sending your series to a few friends of mine that I am attempting to lure onto the platform, fingers crossed!

This is again a great post. Keep it going mate!

Great post, just one little type to correct - The Statistics and not The Statitistics sub title.

Cheers Andrew, oops! I just corrected it.

You're welcome, mate! Keep writing good posts like this.

How did do you do it to get to this level @lukebrn?

A lot of hard work, good content creation and interacting with others. Follow along with this series if you want to know in detail - I'll be explaining how I have done so in a different post each day!

excellent post and i couldnt agree with you more. also if you consider the Weiss latest ranking ( check my latest posts of today) steem is among the top 5 coins that made it to B which is the current highest ratings even ahead of btc, dash ltc etc. this is why i posted last week why i love steemit and steemians. we always share valuable infos. keep it up. upped

Thank you! I read the Weiss ratings, it was an interesting choice they had, but I agreed with their STEEM evaluation for sure. Checked out your post there and gave you an upvote, thanks for commenting!

Welcome as always and let's keep steeming hot together 👌

Nice idea for a series. You’re definitely killing it lately on the platform :)

I know you say that you haven’t invested any of your own money into the platform, but can I ask if you’re so bullish, why not?

Thanks @forexbrokr! I have mentioned before that I think the platform has an excellent future, as I did in this post. I am trying to create a diverse portfolio and I am looking to invest in cryptocurrencies that are 1) Solving a problem that I am passionate about, 2) likely to grow and 3) likely to survive a crash in the market (I like cryptocurrencies with real world use cases!). The fact that I can earn Steemit through investing time means that I can invest my money in to other cryptocurrencies - to me it makes sense to invest in say LTC over STEEM, as if I invest in STEEM (with FIAT), I won't be able to earn any LTC, but if I invest in LTC (with FIAT), I can earn STEEM (with time). It may not be the best strategy, but it's what I've been doing so far.

I may change that in the future, but for now I'm going to keep it that way! I'm also looking at doing an online course about Steemit to get more people to the platform, it could be quite interesting. Will need to partner with people to do so though!

If anyone needs any motivation, check this out:

Metclafe's Law? Where did I come across that before? LOL

I just read some stats this morning...for the 4 weeks in January, there were over 120K sign up...that will be another 1.2 M user accounts by the end of the year (if nothing changes). This of course, is an absurd number on the low side. As noted, the pace of sign ups is increasing.

Therefore, we could see 5M users by year end. Once auto sign ups are instilled, there will be a boom in the user base.

Overall, $1 of STEEM today will be worth at least 3 times that in the near future (like 90 days if I had to guess). We are in a lull in the crypto market at this time...that will change.

I expect February to see many of the crypto charts to break out to the upside.

I completely agree, thanks for sharing that infographic! Metcalfe's law has come up on a few Steemit posts, so it might be from a post you have seen before. The numbers are growing exponentially, even if we somehow fall in to linear growth, it still puts the platform in a great position. Thanks for the comment, make sure to follow along if you're interested in the series, every upvote helps to share the post with more people!

Better an over ambitous goal, then no goal at all.
If this series will be as good as the passive income series, you will easily get there!
Aren’t you affraid that some of your earlier followers will unfollow you, due to the complete different content?

Exactly! No I'm not worried, I'm only taking a week to cover some Steemit success stuff, then I will be back to cryptocurrencies - I don't think they will mind if I try and help the community for one week!

Glad I found you. I started about three weeks ago as well. Love your analysis. It is very encouraging and motivating. Cannot wait to see how you take this series. Good job.

Great to hear, thank you! How are you getting on so far? I'll try and make it as helpful as possible, thanks again.

I have really enjoyed it. It takes a lot of work but it has been a blast so far. Have met some amazing people. Looking forward to what the future has in store

Great to hear, keep it up!
