Question: Is it safe to say that the Steemit Community is approximately 60,000 people?

streetstyle (72) · 7 years ago

@stephenkendal That number seems to be the one that is most commonly referenced for active users. There are supposedly 1 million accounts but obviously that is not quite the same for human active users on Steemit. For a 2 1/2 year project, I say that is quite excellent but now with the distraction of so many other altcoins and projects attempting to mimic Steemit, it could be a challenge to grow more active users. I hope that I am wrong, and Steemit becomes the de facto blog for all things crypto then we eventually could see millions of daily active users, and not just bots.

I do feel you are in the right Ball Park as the number of active users according to me is around 45000 - 70000.

I have not done any analysis but just yesterday I made a post about Why My Steemit Feed is showing less Posts. The reason might be because of these inactive accounts. I follow only 232 People on Steemit but my Feed used to be jam packed with Posts from other people's but now those are a bit scarce.

So I believe that there are a lot of Inactive accounts on Steemit and one reason for that might be because of this Bear Market.

I think this is a very fair comment. Just for the record, the approximately 60,000 I tabled in the blog was a conservative estimate and I feel the actually number is less. Stephen

There are many more reasons for this decline too. I have been thinking about making a post about this.

For example I am from India and since the RBI Crackdown against Cryptos I have seen several Indians just Powering down and taking their Money and getting out of Steemit.

Then again some people think since the market is bearish it would be a waste of Time for them to make a Post on Steemit as they will get less payouts. Instead that is the exact opposite, as when the market is down you can accumulate more Steempower from your Posts.

In my 2 cents opinion may be it's a little bit more but I am not damn sure about how much more. So, 60 K is the safe limit. Although we have more than million of user it's indeed sad thing that round about 6% are active user. so along with #steemtalent campaign and a #promo-steem or wake up call is required to awake the people who are passive in this amazing community. I think right sizing is the key point for SWOT analysis. You are doing job really well. @stephenkendal Proud of you. Keep it up and all the best Stephen

Nailed it . Over the years I have done countless SWOT Analysis mainly on big Corporations. Excluding the obvious strengths and opportunities of #Steemit, I for one are more interested in the weaknesses and opportunities. Mainly the Opportunities..!! Stephen

Obviously more than 60000 peoples are connecting with steemit community. Day by day peoples are very conscious about cryptocurrency and gradually people know more about steemit community and join here. I just support your steem talent program. We need more talent to join more people here. Love steemit and support @stephenkendal.

Well for me i think the collection or the number of users not including the bots, should be roughly 65,000. But all the same the community is moving forward, i must appreciate you too, and everyone who has contributed their part to invite or bring people here... @stephenkendal nice work...

Happy sunday!!!

mickyscofield (54) · 7 years ago

I agree it could be slightly higher than 60,000 but not up to 100,000
Unfortunately bots and non active users are in dominance on Steemit in terms of population
More work still needs to be done

divine-sound (61) · 7 years ago

Yes that is true. Because most of the accounts are ghost account, most of the followers are ghost follower. Hey dont worry we will make it a big community over time. Technology adoption and evolution takes time and we all are lucky that we enrolled ourselves at an early stage but now the responsibilities lies with us t make it forward and this is the real time to work very very hard.

It depends on the precise definition you use. If you include people who visit Steemit.com but don't log in (they may not have Steem accounts), then Hypestat which is based on Alexa data suggests it's over 600,000 unique visitors each day. That likely means several million unique monthly users, and may also be an underestimate since some fraction of users must use DTube or Busy etc. as their main interface.

60,000 seems closer to the daily active users who do log in and make transactions, but that includes bots. It's ultimately tough to measure, even when you narrow down your criteria.

Discounting users who don't interact with the blockchain directly (making transactions) makes sense when comparing to other cryptocurrencies, but puts Steem under a tougher measurement system than other social networks, which typically do count users without accounts.

This is exactly the point I am trying to get across. I talking about real people who are actually vested in the Community and chatting / talking / interacting with the #Steem Blockchain. Not those that simply read what the Community is saying or doing..!! Stephen

I have no perfect idea about that. But i think steemit communiu is above than 60,000.
But stats says that steemit community is touching 1 mollion people. But in 1M all bots and dead users are added. Active users on steemit are may be 60,000 peoples.
But i found that daily active members meets with your number of 60,000

I was thinking the figure would be more than a million. I see more than 50 new people every day on few tags i frequently visit. However that is sad that only 60,000 are actively participating here other than bots.

shoaib721 (57) · 7 years ago

I think it should be higher than this. I think round about 60,000 pwople are making good dollars on steemit. And people like me who are struggling and trying hard to make some money are very big amount on numbers. 1M are total users. And no oerfect idea about dead users. But i think active users are 40% of total users..

The number of active users on steemit community will at least be around 1 million. But no oerfect idea about active users. But i hope it will ba high number that you write. People are more than 60,000 using steemit. But a good question asked by you. Let see how many peoples are awares with the stats of steemit.

I believe that the active people on steemit are far above 60,000. All users may not post or comment in particular day so we can't actually judge the size of the active users by judging the activities in a particular day or period. People participates on steemit depending on their daily schedule. Some of the people that will participate today, may not be the ones that may participate tomorrow. Likewise, some of the people that would participate this week may not be the ones that may participate next week. So it will be difficult to judge the actual size of active users by using the data of the level of participation of a given day. We are far more than 60,000

abdulmanan (67) · 7 years ago

WEll i think it should be higher than that, I don't know from where you collect the data, they may be has given you the data of which who are making good amount of money or maybe who post comes in trending or hot tags, but there are more and many people who are just commenting and trying to make relations. They are way more than that.

if it is true what you are saying, That is sad :(

The reports show us that daily number of users are increasing on steemit and I don't think so 60000 is a correct number.

I think that is an understatement.The number of active users on steemit community will at least be around 1 million.This year steemit's growth has been very good it has added a huge number of new users although all of them will not active but surely a good amount of them will be sticking together with it. SO by any means the numbers are more than 60'000 and somewhat closer to 1 million.

Well the active members will surely be more than the number you had in mind since many people are coming on board each day who have been orientation how what to do and how to go about it. Though, you are not all wrong since bot and many fake account has numerous compare to the real active user. I'm anticipating what the project would be, I know it will surely be good as usual.

I think that's fairly active, though it may be lower than that. I recently published my monthly exchange transfer report and in that report I define active as such:

Active: Accounts which have voted, commented, and posted a root post in the last 30 days

The number I got on this last report was: 61,198 (down almost 10% from the previous report).
