we've already crossed 50,000 users on Steemit, and I expect to see near 75,000 users in two weeks.
Using an excel spreadsheet, I've compiled the daily total accounts data from steemd.com (collecting the data between 16:30 and 17:00 Pacific time every day) for the last 8 days and here's how the user growth charts (with "best fit linear line", correlation value, and projected value - dotted line).
Your 75,000 members by two weeks is very close to what the best fit linear growth line suggests. Two weeks would be the 22nd of August, which comes in at about 70,000 by the projection on my chart.
Great!! By any chance do you have data on the steem supply as well? (both SP and STEEM)
great work, I wish I had made this myself for the post!. Yes I think it's a rational number. We may experience exponential growth at some point, let's wait and see. I'd wager but there isn't a wager system yet here :).
