Steem just touched $7.00 USD!
It's an exciting time for the Steem blockchain. Prices are pushing higher as experts are seeing more and more reason to dig into the best blockchain in town. In this post series, we're looking at just a handful of reasons why Steem is a superior coin, not just in terms of it's amazing network and community, but because of the disruptive technological perks behind it.
In this post we've illustrated a handful of sharable fast facts that illustrate Steem’s incredible speed, volume and utility. All statistics are via @blocktivity, and their blockchain data website - http://www.blocktivity.info/
200x Faster than Bitcoin
Steem is fast. With Bitcoin, you can wait minutes, hours or even days in extreme cases for transactions to resolve. Even at this very moment, BTC has almost 100,000 unconfirmed transactions queued up. Steem is blazing fast in comparison and has yet to hit anywhere close to 1% capacity.
1 million daily transactions
The Steem blockchain is confirming more than 1.3 million transactions every 24 hours at the #1 slot. As reference, Ethereum is 2nd at 1.1 million and Bitcoin 3rd at 300,000. All of these awesome blockchain statistics are via @blocktivity, and their data website - http://www.blocktivity.info/
3-Second transfers
Did we mention that it’s blazing fast? We did and we’ll say it again - Steem is lightning compared to most mainstream cryptocurrencies. Not only that, but no matter the amount of Steem being moved from A to B, the time it takes is the same. 3 seconds flat.
Zero Fees
No fees, no extra costs. Proof of Work currencies like Ethereum and Bitcoin charge every time you want to transfer, purchase, or withdraw any amount. Not with Steem, where every action has absolutely no added costs.
It's Scalable Too!
Here's a fun chart we made that helps illustrate comparable value. One of the most compelling statistics of Steem is its ability to scale. Right now, the Steem blockchain is only utilizing ~0.1% of it’s capacity. Compare that to Bitcoin (overloaded at 100%) and Ethereum (nearly 50% on a good day). In this category, Steem rocks the competition.

Guys do you think steemit could grow to the size of Facebook ? What worries me is that the accounts number isn't growing so fast ...

No you would have to have teachers require students to make steemit accounts to pass their class first. This is the only reason facebook has so many registered users, I would wager that on Steemit we have a much higher percentage of total users active at any time than on FB which is better than amount of total population in my opinion. I would rather see an engaging small community on this site than a large insular one.

That is just the amount of transactions steem is able to do without being under load so out of 100% currently steem is only under a 0.1% load meaning it has so much more room to grow

If it hits 100 %, then the network is overloaded, and the transfers will need to wait for another block. It is what's been happening with bitcoin, and why it is so expensive/takes a long time to get a transaction to happen. So we still have a long way before we get there!

Yes, STEEM and Steemit works very well. I think it's not so well known and many take it for granted that there are tons of users transfering value each day without lags and make Steemit the beacon for a social platform on the blockchain.
But on the other hand i see other use cases for Bitcoin and both have their value but STEEM provided the performance from the start without a lightning network. Thank you for the summary!

The smart media token is going to transform the way we do things.... the only friction being onboarding... however FB did quite well without making itself available to everyone immediately... so maybe the friction to onboard is useful.
