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.
Team Steemit
Happy Birthday!

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! 🍸 🍾
Two Years of Steemit Time! Whew!

Hello friend, you can support me with a good vote. I'll be grateful. It would be a great contribution.
Happy Birthday, Steem!
There's a reason why I always keep talking about Steem's brilliance.
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.

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. ;-}

Happy Birthday to my favourite platform
Congraturations! You guys have done really great job. I really appreciate about this.
Happy Birthday, my STEEM
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!
I love Steem!!
Happy anniversary! May we have many more!
Why have our profile pics disappeared?
hear hear, it's pretty stunning for two years work i will say, they have fixed so much in that time.
That's great. The Steem genesis block was history in the making. I'm so happy that I'm able to be a part of it. Happy Birthday, Steem.
Steem blockchain is capable of changing the world as we know it. The rate of innovation is staggering, being here and seeing it all happen live is one of the best experiences of my life. A drink for even brighter future and HB.
Here here!
Happy Birthday Steemit 🎂 And many more!!
Blow out the candles, make a wish!
I wish our image profile pictures would
reappear! :-)
