I went back to March 2016 when Steemit was first created and got the totals for new accounts created each day and was amazed to learn that today we had the most new accounts created ever on the Steemit platform.
How many you ask?
8,638 new accounts for Jan 3rd 2018
I'm willing to bet we will see more record breaking day this month as the price of Steem continues to rise.
We are well on our way to a million or even two million accounts this year.

Its a huge number and a great sign for Steemit...my daughter (aspiring artist) was one of them today!

Steemit started 2018 around 640th in the US for website traffic after starting 2017 at 4,000th. I'm watching this as well as an indicator for what will happen to the price of Steem!
That's a huge number! Cant wait to see when 50 000 new accounts a day is possible.
My old Vietnam Veteran friend was opening his account today too! Needed a little help to get started. He's a hoot! I told him to blog about being an old Ozark Mountain man! Cheers! Have a great evening!
Great news! There are a lot of platforms coming out now that are somewhat clones of Steemit. However, I think Steemit is the future. It has built a very strong community that will be hard to dissemble.
Its always good to have new people around
