It been weeks in the making but the graph trajectories predicted it would be inevitable.
This week it happened. Asia is now the largest region by traffic.
Asian traffic has now surpassed all traffic from the America's. That's all site traffic from North and South America combined and the exponential growth curve predicts that it wont just past the Americas but will blow past and continue right on upward on the coming weeks.
Most of the Asian traffic is still coming from Eastern Asia.
The Eastern Asia traffic is dominated by South Korea.
Seoul is still the steemit capital by a huge margin and there are six South Korean cities in the top 25 cities.
What is interesting to note is that London has the edge on New York this week.
Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane have all made it into the top 25..... go OZ.
Amsterdam is the second largest European contributor to traffic... cheese anyone?
Lagos continues to hold the fort for Africa... just wondering when the 419'ers arrive?
Together Seoul and Busan constitute more than 10% of all steemit traffic.
There are a couple of other regional tussles on the go.
Brazil and Venezuela are wrestling for top spot in South America.
West Africa and Southern Africa are trading places in Africa
Overall steemit.com just continues to forge ahead and upwards.
Hard fork 19 and the flattening of the rewards curve has come just in time.
The fact that minnow votes will now be more meaningful and that the long tail of the rewards curve will be even longer should go a long way to helping to retain and consolidate all of this new growth.
