I've been thinking about and seeing the numbers and reasoning behind all the increases lately both in Steemit, and the Crypto markets.  I would like to apply some logic and balance here, in the midst of a lot of huge numbers and bring perspective of sorts.          

I have not been able to follow everything, there is just SO MUCH happening every day right now and gathering......well - STEEM  - in the entire crypto space.  LOL.       

### *But I know the whole world is watching more now, than ever.*     

----

People reading posts from outside the STEEM ecosystem who are curious, are going to want to be onboarded or join and get moving here.  We need to remember they are new, and the new crypto people like we once were are not going to stop, they are coming to the markets and Steemit and crypto in MASSIVE numbers daily.

There are a ton of new people coming to Steemit daily and they need help, like we all needed help when we were new.  I honestly try and remember this daily, and post useful content and repurpose content where it suits doing so, with SO many new people here and more coming daily.

It's a Gold Rush and this is the Wild Wild West in Crypto right now, and we are right in the early stages - here - together.

@zekarde · 
I see the cat and read, "The whole world is watching meow more, than ever. I say again." the brain does funny things.

I would throw out my thought though, it's important to pay special attention(though I realize many do) to the 'introduceyourself' section so that rather than having people lose interest and rollover they have that initial 'wow' moment that inspires people to stay. I think after that people give it a more sincere look and start to find the culture and community that gives Steemit it's substance.
