0.000 HBDSteem is the long wait, the big grind and what not.
 -------- Before Steemit I was never that interested in social media. I had it all for a while, Facebook, Instagram, and even Snapchat but I hardly used any of it. It got even worse when I discovered the Steem Blockchain. It made it all seem even more pointless. I realized quickly that on Steem I could help build toward something that would benefit me and others that believed in it. And even though it had every chance of failing it still made 100x more sense to do that than waste my time trying to fish for meaningless thumbs-ups. But, alas, now that it's time to promote Steem to the world my lack of Social Media exposure is shockingly bad for promoting Steem. I recently became active daily on Twitter to help raise Steem awareness. [here](https://twitter.com/Exyle_Steem). I have 162 followers after 6 weeks. Most likely Steemians that know me :) Hardly the exposure Steem needs. I do enjoy it though. I must admit. I'm doing this 77-day pushup challenge and when I have small thoughts about Steem or discover cool news facts I can just type it up and release it to the world. It's fun in a way. Today, I've been thinking a lot today about why the price of STEEM is lacking. One thought that got in my head is that Steem simply does not have enough users yet. With 50k active accounts that maybe need 100SP (for RC's) each to do all they want to do on the blockchain, there is a lot of liquid Steem out there waiting for users. And unless the current active accounts want to get more 'involved' there is no reason for them to buy more STEEM. You can't do more on the blockchain as a normal user if you own more STEEM, you just have more say and I guess not everyone cares about that. *For example: there are Steem Monsters players out there with thousands of dollars worth of cards but that only own the SP they need to interact with the blockchain to play the game.* I do believe ultimately the power is in the Dapps. When Steem Monsters, Steemhunt, and the others can increase their user base then all those new users will ultimately need STEEM. Some of those users will most certainly want to get more involved. But it all takes time as usual. But this is not always easy especially when you feel that other blockchains are going up more in value compared to Steem even though there is so much value being created here. I'm used to it. Steem is the long wait, the big grind and what not. I know one day it will not be but until then we can only do one thing.
