You nailed it @lukestokes.

I wrote the other day that I could care less if the Steemit team approved another account until the SMTs were released after getting the back end up to par.

The fact that Steemit is doing no marketing is not a problem to me. Why should they market something only to bring people to a place that cant handle the traffic. Too many believe that since the blockchain can handle x number of transactions per second, that is all there is. You know a lot better than I do there is so much more to it.

It is sad that people are set up to fail by the "steem marketers" who are posting on Facebook and YouTube...they are touting the money to be made on here. Pure foolishness. If they knew the damage they were truly causing, I dont think they would do it. Some of those people who turn away could develop the next great app on here.

We all are impatient because we can see how big this can be. I concur with the idea, dont worry about the first 1M but, rather, how can 100M-250M be handled. That is the type of traffic that the STEEM blockchain is going to have.

Thanks for all you do trying to educate the masses.
