Thanks for sharing this posts. This is the type of posts that should be within the trending section right now. I hope it may get attention from whales so it can goes up _organically_.

> While much effort has been focused in developing a range of brand new apps from scratch, an exponential growth in Steem’s user base would be much more likely to occur through partnerships with other platforms and businesses who’ve already spent years growing their userbases.

Basically you are thinking outside of the box. We have been focusing so much in STEEM, Steemit and in every subject around our platform that we are not focusing ourselves in practical solutions as partnerships and to take advantages of using other websites and platforms knowledge and resources. I can see it pretty clear now.

**We must think out of the box, We have to see beyond _all of this_. This is the only way to really engage people and take Steem Blockchain into a whole new level**.

We have a slogan, a popular one between steemers right? Anytime we say **bring value to the community, posts something that worth for millions of users**. Well, it is time to open _our circle of action_ and focus on the rest of the world.

I have not much SP to support this great post but I will give you an _upvote_ with my community account @steemitvenezuela as well. We only curate Spanish content but this is needed to be heard and sometimes in life exceptions needs to be done.

STEEM ON.

_Reestemed and 100% upvote_.
