Now this is just getting RIDICULOUS!!! steemit growth is exploding

in stats •  8 years ago  (edited)

If we thought Steemit.com was seeing major growth last week. Take a look at chart for Monday.

We shot right past the Viral spike relating to a standing rock post in November, like it was parked.

Our returning Users graph is just as impressive...

At this rate we could double our August record soon.

Most regions are at record growth levels, with only Africa is a little sluggish.

Eastern Asia is at 3 times its August record highs, South East Asia is nearing double its August record highs

There are no surprises now as to why the prices are going crazy on Poloniex and Bittrex.

Steemit.com is pumping, usage is growing exponentially and the STEEM blockchain is demonstrating its potential to the world.

I have been watching this trend also and I must say if this isn't proof idk what is... Steem is coming full force now.

People are sick and tired of the liberal bullshit censorship at Facebook and Youtube.

"Social liberal", Yes

That's the truth!

That's cool!

And this is just the beginning!

At the top of the chart, I thought is said goodbye Facebook. Is that correct? ;)

@gavvet, thanks for this updates.I'll work hard to see it grow fast in Africa. I'm an African, and I'll try my best to promote Steemit in some African groups on facebook. I'm currently organizing a youth seminar in my local church to introduce steemit to them. So many people here are living bellow $3 a day, I believe Steemit will be appreciated by most of them. We have an estimation of almost 30 million Nigerians on Facebook, if these people will divert their attention to Steemit, I'm sure it will help a lot.

Amazing !

Thanks @oldtimer

Bring them on steemit. We can help them, for sure. Have a great day.

Looks like Asia is driving a lot of this, for all the cryptocurrencies. It's nice to know there is something like 4 Billion people over there. I'd say we could grow our user base pretty nicely with that ;)

Probably because usd is strong in most of the regions in asia. For example I am currently in India, here most people earn 300 Rs ( nearly 5 bucks) for full day of labour, and on steemit you can imagine.

I myself referred some people here, and they are liking steemit so far.

It feels good to see smile on their faces when they earn their first buck.

Yes, in a lot of countries earning $5 USD per day is pretty good money. Those are the places Steemit.com will really have an appeal. There are a bunch of new cryptocurrency exchanges being created over there in Asia and that is where a lot of the demand for virtual currencies is coming from. That and some recent law/rule changes only further the demand from that region.

I heard someone say there is a Chinese version of Steem.

I hadn't heard that... do you have a link?

No. I think I heard about it in the Bitshares Hangout from Chris Hering nearly two weeks ago.

Yes! And we probably can not read what they write here at Steemit :-)

Yea that is a big problem actually... they likely can't read a lot of what we write either...

Bingo

Awesome! It's happening... Steem is growing rapidly right now :)
Here's the daily number of posts on the Steem blockchain (including comments)

Thank god, I joined before the 30,000th post! Always a great feeling :)

History in the making!? ...I hope.
TO THE MOON!

TO THE MOON!steemitqatothemoon.jpg

really promising growth! thanks gavvet
what's the site you use to see those stats?

I build them from consolidating Google Analytics data

ahh well great work and thanks for sharing

It is the great moment of steemit.

These growth numbers are amazing! Thanks for the graphs!

Brilliant! I am so excited!

What does the stats for referrals look like im super curious, is it possible to pull these?

great work @gavvet you are huge asset here

looks like the CO² graph Al Gore showed us

hooray!

Excellent!!!

Is steemit prepared for the traffic explosion? Sometimes we have to use Busy.org instead, as Steemit's servers go down.

It's a lot better than the first time we had these growth spikes

Good to hear.

I only hope that will carry on growing :) steemit deserve a big jump!

The idea that a "whale" can come along and downvote away all of your rewards is incredibly unappealing. It will be, and I'm sure it has been, used for personal attacks, etc. I'll never be a part of something like this and I'm sure I'm not alone. Change the feature so one person doesn't have so much power, at least on the downvote angle, and I'm sure more people will want to join.

Putting a lot of money into Steem does not make you a good content curator, or a fair person. It's a ridiculous feature that does not line up with promoting good content. It seems to be more about motivating people to put money into the network.

When the motivations of a network don't line up properly, it will eventually fail and I think Steemit has had more than its fair share of troubles already to offer some proof of that.

It will be fixed

Great! Any time frame on when that will happen?

If I sound frustrated in my response it's only because I see so much potential here. But I also see that downvote feature as Steemit shooting itself in the foot. Imagine if YouTube took away creator revenue because videos received dislikes. No one would post there any more.

I hope you change up the system so downvotes have zero financial impact across the board- for all users - for posts and comments. That's the only thing that will work, imo.

Other than that, It seems like this could be an incredible site/idea/network!

Hey @gavvet. It looks like I spoke too quickly about Steemit and to be honest, I feel pretty stupid. I was wrong and I'm sorry for that. Have a good one. :)

Trevorlyman, would love to hear what information you used to change your opinion. What exactly were you wrong about? I'm new to the Steemit community and looking to learn as much as I can... and hopefully develop and grow it... Thanks!

Everything about Steemit feels good to me. I look forward to its future

Agreed

SGT, JSNIP4, Crush the street, Dollar Vigilante and the like have brought a lot of their viewership to STeemit. We partly have them to thank.

hi crowe, check out @antv
thanks

Dollarvigilante did bring alot of new users for sure i am one of them

I love his video's. I'm subscribed.

Yep same here

Thanks.

Why is it this post has a underline strike through, why the payout was declined?

I think Gavet is part of the SteemIt team in some since. I forget though.

I see, thats why. Yeah Steemit is so cool it gives me 300% of my investement Bitcoin planted few weeks ago.

Interesting! Would you think the Steem price and reward possibilities has something to do with this? For the new users, maybe, but did marketing do something on other social media? Returning users: I think that has everything to do with the Steem value and reward increase! I actually find it quite sad those users stepped away. I have the feel they are not here on Steem for the community, but only for the rewards and their own pocket; really SAD :(

I think people around the world are looking to invest assets and capital OUTSIDE of the central bank system. Rock on.

This has been happening since Greg Mannarino decided that Steemit is a smart place to be and has been urging all his followers and listeners, many friends and contacts to sign up.
He has thousands and thousands of subscribers, and they are doing as he says whether they understand Steemit or not just because they know his judgment is reliable and he really likes to help people. This started a week ago.

Him and also others like the Dollar Vigilante have really been pushing people here.

It looks that we are entering bubble territory for a vast majority of alt coins (except Bitcoin probably). Just think about and analyze the following facts:

At least several dozens alt coins market caps skyrocketed 300%-4000%(yes, four thousand!) recently just over last 2 months!

The beginning of sharp increase happened around middle of March of 2017 for ALL alt coins!

Yes, some alt coins sharp increase is logically justifiable. For example, Ripple XRP: http://www.cnbc.com/2017/03/01/japanese-banks-plan-to-adopt-blockchain-for-payments.html . Maybe there are couple other alt coins where this huge growth is also justifiable.

But for vast majority of other alt coins nothing has changed drastically during the last 2 months! At all! Neither in their technologies development, nor in their business development! But nevertheless, their market cap skyrocketed 300%-4000% in just 2 months!

The only explanation which comes to mind is that huge amount of new capital is coming to cryptocurrencies market. Probably these are the people/investors who have heard about the first wave of Bitcoin and Ethereum successes, and they have a FOMO (fear of missing out) now. They don't have deep understanding of cryptocurrencies space and their differences, but because of FOMO they still invest in all other alt coins hoping to hit jackpot!

Does it remind you anything? Yes, exactly, dot com bubble of 2000 looks very similar!

Therefore, I would expect some kind of significant downside price correction within next several months for the majority of alt coins. Would you agree?

RIDICULOUS=GOOD
That's my moto :-)

I feel like linear scale of graph could be hiding relative growth of Steem in Africa.

even on its own axis its only slightly increasing

Pity. Africa could benefit immensely from Steem. Especially if they can use it easily on their phones. Perhaps with the upcoming Android app we'll see change. In theory we could have money transfer with GSM phones only, but it probably wouldn't be necessary with the growth rate of smartphones, by the time it was developed .

This could be the start of it all!

yup, last time hacking and DDOS stalled it, seems like its more bullet proof this time... the great depression was useful.

This is only the beginning...we have barely scratched the surface of what the true value of STEEM is...Glad I am on this ride!

Just keep on going Steem

Thumbs up for declined payout.

sure, now vote it up so that it will at least be seen

I did seconds after I commented ( @50% only - I'm running a bit low on Voting Power )

This is not ridiculous. This is natural consequence of our awesome work here :)

Great post thanks for sharing!

yeah...it's pretty silly idn't it?
mwahahahahahahah!

Yup, definitely time for the evil laugh

Yes, it's very exciting seeing the world waking up!
This is just the beginning.
Hope this trend stays at this level from here on out. Great article!

Thank you for keeping Steemians posted @gavvet.

Superb article and graphs.

All the best to you.

Things are looking very good! I'm one of the new members.
Followed, keep me updated please! :-)

Wheres it going from here?

Steemit to the sky!!! This will be the next Facebook of our time!!

Wow that's amazing. I think there's definitely a correlation with price moves, but I think fundamentally search engine traffic should start to kick in with all the great content we have here.

Soaring prices in the Steem market need not be surprised anymore, we can make it even crazier if it always gives every reader a chance to interact with anyone and make it memorable. Not every reader will use that opportunity, but if it happens and Steemit exceeds their expectations, Steemit will get readers who will bring far more readers than any attempt to get new readers on their own.

Message : if the Steemians of the community are obedient and support what is promoted, submitted, shared, following what will be said will be easier. Remember the main capital is diligent reading, not just Upvote, because it is useless in the news but we the steemans never know.

Thanks for sharing @gavvet.
Good luck.
Steem on.!

That is so cool to finally see it happen. I mean this is only the beginning. I was somewhat expecting it sooner. Anyway! It's good to be part of it and having been part of it from so early on.

This is great! I have been here about a year now and have enjoyed it but watching this growth right now is truly exciting. If it gets added to BTCC which it seems like it is going to it will grow even more surely! :D

Upvoted&Followed!

This is just the start of it folks! EMBRACE YOURSELF for the US dollar collapse...COMING SOONER THEN EXPECTED...by then we all know STEEMIT, and bitcoin prices will exponentially increase..

Wow awesome!

Go Asia

Loves these crypto opportunities! Thanks for this article. I love the cryptos and the metals. I spent several hours putting this mining stock investigation together. I hope you find it of value. I think silver and gold may be ready to start moving up again very soon. This is an article I wrote breaking down some mining companies, the better of which should outperform the metals themselves by a wide margin. https://steemit.com/money/@motowngold/i-think-gold-and-silver-are-staging-for-a-run-here-are-some-mining-stock-ideas

I am really glad that it stabilised at a very good price, Thanks for this post now i can show my students how great steemit turned out to be.

Where do u get these numbers and charts?

Wow pretty cool information @gavvet , thanks for sharing! I'm a relatively new Steemit user here so this post is an interesting read. Following you, looking forward to your posts...feel free to check mine as well~

Really great to see. Followed.

Really nice, to the moon Steem :)

Those are some solid stats.
I'm a new user myself...thanks to @shayne
I look forward to being a part of the community as well as watching it grow

I'm promoting Steemit here in Peru, where minimum wage is $7 equivalent per day. Thank you for posting this great information.

Glad to be a part of the new wave! I am loving this new social media platform, and I'm very excited to create unique content in the near future.

Those charts are beautiful! Thanks for the post #gavvet

I explained in English. Please confirm.

We are making efforts to steemit. Now support # KR community and sometimes support other languages. However, when supporting your steempower, we are able to support more steemit successively. I request assistance directly from my curator names https://steemit.com/@economyit and https://steemit.com/@gotoperson. Of my income SBD will be used for steemit · · · · public relations. Also, the ID of
https: //steemit.com/@economyit will use the voting compensation amount 100% for promotion expenses. Please be interested.

More to come, I believe. When that times comes I wonder what will happen. We are on the path towards a much better steemit, a much improved economy.

Proved real...
Good job @gavvet

Outstanding stats! Thanks for the update. Very exciting time to be part of this community.
