Anyone checking out the New feed today would notice a surge of activity. After a couple of days of lull for account creation, Steemit have opened the floodgates. As a result, we have nearly 5,000 new users today! That's probably an all time high, or at least a high since mid-July.
The overall post count is at an all time high. We have broken 10,000 posts over a 24 hour period for the first time! Note that some statistics will show much higher figures, but I assume they do not filter out edits to existing posts. Comments count has also reached a new milestone, breaking well past 50,000 comments. We're also inching closer to 5,000 active authors per day (and many more commenters).
Transactions have also broken the 500,000 per day mark. Though not comparable given a vast majority of those are mere votes, this is well clear of Ethereum and Bitcoin. Indeed, yesterday, it exceeded Ethereum and Bitcoin combined!
Given that we were averaging 1,200 posts per day just three short months ago, this is impressive growth. Still, these are very tiny numbers. There's a lot of growth potential. After all, Reddit is doing over a million posts and 25 million votes every single day!
