First of all, thank you for generous upvote of my late night thoughts.

As much as we all love @dan for his work and gift of Steem, in my opinion his legacy will be EOS. The reason I see EOS as a competitor because it will create a playground to create something better than Steemit if Steem doesn't take actions to build a user base.

Hard Fork 20 seems to address these rapid increase of user base, but it does it only in blockchain sign up level. Steemit as a largest stake holder should do more to make it appealing for new users regardless of the rewards. There should be work done in UI and UX level, so that it is very simple to use.

We don't need only experienced bloggers to succeed. Everybody keeps talking about good content, and whales caring about good content maker authors and auto-voting them and such. I see more value in social interactions where grandparents can interact with grandchildren if you know what I mean.

If steem leaders such as Steemit and witnesses don't ponder on these issues, I believe some other bright minds will utilize EOS and take blockchain social media platform to a next level. If that happens everybody will migrate to new platform.

Current user base is deceiving. We don't really have 260K users. Everybody got several accounts, active user base is probably 10K tops.

I have personally recruited at least 10 people, but they are having a slow start because of the lack of understanding of blockchain technology and good creating content issues. If it was a social connection style, they would have no problem and probably brought some of their current facebook friends to the platform.

I don't think we have a lack in bright minds, I just think everybody is consumed in financial returns aspect of things.

Thanks again.
