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 :)
https://steemit.com/introduction/@vineet/hello-hello-steemers-no-anyway-here-s-my-introduction
History in the making!? ...I hope.
TO THE MOON!
TO THE MOON!
It is the great moment of steemit.
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
Brilliant! I am so excited!
These growth numbers are amazing! Thanks for the graphs!
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?
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!
RIDICULOUS=GOOD
That's my moto :-)
Thank you for keeping Steemians posted @gavvet.
Superb article and graphs.
All the best to you.
Those charts are beautiful! Thanks for the post #gavvet
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.
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 )
yeah...it's pretty silly idn't it?
mwahahahahahahah!
Yup, definitely time for the evil laugh
nice to see all these stats, thanks for posting
Wow awesome!
Go Asia
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.
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!
This is not ridiculous. This is natural consequence of our awesome work here :)
Great post thanks for sharing!
Exciting times. There's a real buzz in here again.
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
If you still havent voted for it vote here:
Disclaimer: I am just a bot trying to be helpful.
Thanks, that was helpful! I don't know how to make it look like that. Good bot. ^_^
Its an exciting time, just wait until communities happen then it will get even crazier!
Hope it's gonna grow more and more!
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..
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.
