STEEMIT FAMILY! OUR PLATFORM IS ABOUT TO CROSS A HUGE MILESTONE THE NEXT FEW HOURS!! And we are all here for it!!!

barrydutton (74) in steemit • 7 years ago (edited)

So we are about to cross the 300,000 account threshold the next few hours!

--

We are sitting right now at 299,867 accounts!!

--

We've added a few accts since I started this post, I keep refreshing the page LOL.

I love me a good Milestone Post, we know that!!!!

Just about 5 hours ago -- when I was updating my personal stats for a Milestone Post ---- look how many accounts we had as we march on!

299,666 accounts as per SteemData.com earlier today! Right now as you can see we have 299,860!!

I did my stats at about 2 pm today, and went out to do some physio. I got back to do this post, as it was on my mind and it is 6:30 EST now and we are up to that 299,867 number.

-- so in about ~4 hours today we added another ~200 accounts.

By my math if things continue, then in the next 3-4 hours, we will cross the 300k barrier for accounts here. Meaning around 9 or 10 pm EST today, August 5th, 2017.

If you want you can check all the Steem Stats on that here -

https://steemdata.com/stats

EDIT --- hours later again now at 10:53 pm EST ---- we are soooo close now at 299,942 accounts!!

--

EDIT 2!! --- 90 mins later after LAST update again now at 12:13 am EST ---- we are soooo close now at 299,974 accounts!!

--

That was about 30 accounts added in ~90 mins.

I am a numbers and stats freak, LOL.

(:

So again, that means around 1:45 am, we will hit the 300k mark!!!

Our friend here @enjar made this for me this weekend, give him a follow, he is a beaut.

Solid community guy that helps us all reach milestones here together as a community and family!

When I keep saying:

We can do more, if we help one another.

I actually mean it. I help others here. Others have helped me.

-- it is what family and community do -- in order to grow and prosper, in all areas of life and -- Crypto!!

We must always head towards the path of Liberty. And help others on this path.

--
