Many of these things may happen next year when SMT's are unleashed up on us.

As for scale-ability.., we as you see it now is the least amount of activity I have seen. When I joined STEEM was $2.85 each and there was a LOT more activity then.

More people means more servers needed and witnesses, but if the token price rises then we will get those anyway. They need STEEM to pay for the hardware and utility costs, that's why witnesses are often in a constant state of power down.

Feel free to try and incite people on, I can create accounts complete with keys if you need any. It's a hard sell in its' current form.
