We will be ready when the masses are. They're not going to have to skip a beat.

For fuck sake.. it's ok to say "fuck". Realize that being genuine is part of the magic of Steemit. Unlike Youtube where a "persona" is usually assumed, here you are appreciated because of you. It's the magic of Steemit.

"I was one of the early adopters of YouTube and I've noticed that my earnings continue to go down"

Ooh. You haven't noticed it here on Steemit. I've been looking at my posts for a while now and their dollar values have been slowly trickling away. ;(

The blockchain keeps producing 1 Steem for content and 1 Steem for curation every 3 seconds. Those are distributed in form of SD and SP according to the votes. So payouts always depend on what 1 Steem is worth right now, and from July 4th on daily payouts equal 57600 Steem. (Simplified answer, skipped missed blocks, averaged price feeds and probably some other things)

p.s. why the fuck should you stop?

predicting how big this site may actually get... only time will tell.

however, I'd bet that it won't get anywhere near as huge as Facebook or YouTube - if only for the simple fact the rewards here go to mainly WRITERS of great content.

nobody needs to be a writer on Facebook - just click a share button on something that interests them.

while it's possible to copy & past content to share on here, I've noticed that such posts don't receive anywhere close to the rewards of originally-generated content. as such, while there's an incentivization system in place for curation, the practical application isn't as likely to become a factor for a billion people flocking to Steemit in hopes of gaining rewards for clicking a share button.

and while there is the potential to earn money voting, it does require investment. no one who doesn't invest isn't going to earn anything more than pennies by simply voting. and the reality is, of the billion people on Facebook, the large majority of them either don't have the capacity or aren't interested in investing the time to learn the complexities of such a cryptocurrency-meets-colloborative platform - meets incentivized voting system and put down the capital required to make anything significant of it. for most people, the lure of instant gratification far outweighs the long-term opportunities of navigating such an entirely new domain - and many may likely to stick to sites like Facebook that don't require time invested in original content production.

as such, the 'growth explosion' in users here will not continue indefinitely at the same rate, and there'll be some cap on how big the user base actually gets. which, also raises the question - once that cap is hit and there's no one left to keep investing, what will happen to the reward values, without a new influx of capital coming into the system...?

fucking continue using it for fucks sake.

Don't quote me on this. Let someone like Dan explain it, but for now ... 

You will make far less per post. After 7/4 there will be approximately $20,500 per day rewarded **depending upon market cap** (as reported by Dan it would be $2,500/day and further explained by arhag that's what it would be valued at after 1 year, so it's $20,500/day -- I have no clue what that means lol). With more people garnering upvotes, payouts will be nowhere near what you see happening now per post. We have guessed in the past that a top poster *may* be able to squeeze $100 a day out and most a buck or two. But again, I don't have a clue, that's just what I've gathered talking to and reading others. I don't claim to understand how the system will work after 7/4.

It would behoove you and everyone else to keep the Steem Power you make now vested. This way you can upvote your own post and snag a little extra that way and it will give you more voting power down the road as it accumulates more. Some will also tell you that keeping your Steem Dollars is a good idea at 10% APR, but that APR rate is not guaranteed and you may not always get the same rate on cashout. From what I've read, if the site goes belly up, SD is what you would want to be in (if you chose to be in something). NEVER stay in STEEM long term. Either power up, convert to SD or sell for profit quickly.

Again, I'm just trying to give a quick answer and although most of this is probably fairly accurate you'll likely get a better answer from someone more knowledgeable on the matter.
