...and how many of those accounts are active?

maybe 50.000 worldwide?

@kingscrown for example has problems to reach 29.000 follower. He is posting in english and about crypto (which should be interesting and readable for almost all steemians).

All I could find was "dead followers" which doesnt work anymore. Ugh

Tapping into the Steem Community

Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency sphere have discovered how much potential there is in tapping into the Steem community. There are around 100,000 active users on Steem who have an interest in cryptocurrency, with multiple platforms available to reach the entire audience.

The Byteball cryptocurrency project had over 70,000 Steem accounts register to use their platform after offering an airdrop to Steem account holders.

When developers launched the alpha version of Steem Monsters, a collectible card game similar to MTG or Hearthstone run on the Steem blockchain, they received over $200,000 worth of card sales within the first two months.

That would be my guess (100k). I know DLive gets a million page views a month and has 40k monthly users.
