Another reason to celebrate is because the we are seeing STEEM closing in on 1M users.
While I am on the same page with you if we look at the future, the number you are referring to here is not so valid in my opinion. If I am not mistaken @arcange and @pengiunpablo reports indicate indeed that we are close to 1M users, but we only have 60K daily users! Within the 1M there are a lot of dropouts or dormant accounts!
Also it is quite some time ago, that we did see a lot of new accounts created! I don't believe that they can launch SMT before the registration process is made more smoothly!
@paulag wrote a great article about this today!

This was discussed a week or two ago.
The 60K are actually accounts that transact. @ned tends to hit the inactive list since he goes so long without posting or upvoting yet is on Steemit each day reading. How many others are on here who only read?
But you are right, there are not 1M who are active each day (or even each month). We probably have around 200K different accounts active on a monthly basis.
