Maybe its just a early-bird thing. Those people who joined steemit 2 years ago and bought steem for some cents a coin, now have a high reputation and a lot of SP. 2 years later it is hard to get in and increase your repu. But hey, steem ist just the beginning of blockchain based networks. Maybe we can early-birds too. Thats why it could be an good idea to invest in trx or eos. New social networks will come based on these and other blockchains. Maybe steem will be king within the next years, but maybe it will be just one weak player among bigger networks...
I personally believe Steemit will make it to the top since we already have a big number of users. You know?
It's just that it's still quite complicated to use for some and they give up early. Still, Only the tough survives but Steemit will be on top, that's for sure :D
