Happy 2nd Birthday Steem Blockchain

in steem •  7 years ago 

It was two years ago today that the genesis block of the very blockchain storing this text was produced. Much has happened in those two years. When we originally designed Steem it was our goal to create a blockchain capable of supporting content-based applications at scale. Two years later we’re proud to see that steemit.com has become one of the top 1,000 websites in the world. Not only that, but other disruptive applications are now powered by Steem and also experiencing exponential growth!

The Fastest and Most Transacted Blockchain

Due to the popularity of Steem-powered applications, the Steem blockchain has broken away from the pack in terms of transactions per day. The Steem blockchain now regularly performs more transactions in a 24-hour period than Bitcoin and Ethereum combined, and it holds the record for most transactions in a single day as the only blockchain to process more than 2 million transactions.

Exciting Things to Come

There are many exciting things in the pipeline including communities, SMTs, continuing improvements to scalability, effortless onboarding, notifications 2.0, and much more. Steem has accomplished quite a bit for a two-year-old, but we fully expect that in its third year of life it will transform from a toddler taking its first tentative steps into a full-blown blockchain of opportunity, partnering with publishers and entrepreneurs to march together toward an entirely tokenized content web.

Thank You, Steemians

The Steem blockchain wouldn’t be anything without all the amazing Steemians leveraging these applications and contributing to the github repos. We can’t thank you enough, not just for using these apps, but for telling your friends, families, and complete strangers about this blockchain we all love so much. Thank you for making Steem a part of your daily life, and a part of your way of life.

Belated birthday wishes Steem.
notifications 2.0 seems to be interesting. Can somebody point me to a blog post about this? Would like to know more details. A good notifications system can get more people hooked to Steem. Waiting for that feature to be part of the Steemit directly.

Happy Birthday Steem Blockchain! 🍸 🍾

It's great to be part of this. I discovered Steemit a few months in. Okay so I didn't make much to start with, but I liked the community. So many interesting people. Then I went to Steemfest last year and got to meet lots of them. This is just the start of something big. Hoping to see fresh developments soon. Keep us updated.

Happy Steemday!

Happy birthday Steem blockchain and congratulations to @ned and his team. Steem blockchain made available Steemit which will remain in history as first of its kind. A lot of creative and awesome features have been made available here like the speed of transaction and the fact that its transactions are free.

There are many improvement to come, things are not perfect and we always aim for excellence. I know with time a lot of the issues we face at the moment will be addressed as we progress but for now we celebrate what we have because it's a pure product of genius minds.

Once again I congratulate Steem and it's development team, you offered us gold which we hold today in our hands. I pray for long life and prosperity of this great platform and it's users. Steem on everyone.

Happy birthday! Been here for 4 months and I'm enjoying every moment.
Feels like I have been here for the whole 2 years tbh.

I know exactly how you feel! There’s real time and then there’s Steem time :)

Same here. One week seems one month. Lol

Is it because of the 2 year anniversary that all the people icons are gone? Some sort of happy birthday suit thing?

edit: It's to cold to run around in a birthday suit in Alaska, so I had to put some clothes back on. ;-}

In a good or bad way?

good way actually.
I think Trump is doing a fine job.

Happy birthday,steem!steem2nd.png

happy birthday to you

Happy brithday steem

Happy Birthday !!

New to the platform and already love it! Decentralised blogging, what an amazing idea! Lots of love <3

Happy birthday! Steem is still my favorite blockchain tech. I use it more than any other Crypto and hope to do so in the future!

We are thankful to be part of such a wonderful and growing community and look forward to how far we can go in the near future! With love, Blockbasis

Feels crazy knowing I've been a part of this site for almost half of its life; always love seeing how much it evolves throughout such a short amount of time.

The ways it helps creatives be creative, the way it not only rewards people properly as they should be, but rewards them for doing what they believe in, and not what a higher-up believes in for the purpose of revenue.

Very well said!

2nd happy birthday

wish you are happy birthday!!!!

The steemit is really a nice blockchain system . it is more helpfull in many ways . we just need to help each other and we need a community to bring some thing special to the site and make it more popular and get some thing special for the newbies . because the newbies are not getting the deserving attension we must think about the new steemians coming to the site .

Happy Birthdays Steem Blockchain. Wish All The Best For You ❤️❤️❤️

everyone enjoy the steemit party :'D

2 years of Steemit existence exactly when my account reaches 2 months.

The only problem I have with the platform is that I did not found about it sooner. But better late than never I guess. Maybe 2 years from now I will be considered one of the early adopters lol.

Anyway, happy Birthday Steemit. Good luck to all the people on the platform and to all the newcomers that will join.

Steemit to the moon!!!

You absolutely will :)

Happy Birthday!

I love Steem!!

Wszystkiego najlepszego!!:) 100 lat!

Happy birthday, Steem!

Happy birthday steemit, i am looking forward to the SMT's who could really change the web how we use it today and tokenize nearly every website. Pretty exciting.

The developments that are to come will improve a lot the user experience here (communities), the value of Steem (SMTs) and its potential (scalability).

I am proud to be here with so many other people and I am shocked to see that this post has such a low number of views and activity.

Happy birthday Steem!
