We finally reached a huge milestone in the Steemit community -- 1,000,000 accounts!
Now I realize that many of these accounts are bots and the number of active users is much lower; however, I still think this is a huge accomplishment.
I've heard millionaires say reaching the first 1 million was the hardest and it gets much easier after that. I think it's the same with social media. Just the sound of 1 million is a great sound bite. In fact, I recall recently on a Bloomberg interview with Ned the interviewer brought up almost 1 million accounts.
This is a large number and lends legitimacy to the platform.
I think the account growth goes up exponentially from here, but that's just my opinion.
Exciting times in Steemland!
I would say that 80% of Steemit accounts have been sitting dormant. probably way more than that. Almost 50% of posts in the new feed are copy and paste plagiarized posts. More is not always better. In the case of Steemit, it is definetly not better.
Wow. 1 year ago when I started it was sitting on 250,000 accounts. Lets grow this awesome network!
I’ve been spreading the word of Steemit for quite some time. It can be a tough sell sometimes. Getting paid to blog seems too good to be true to a lot of people.
I agree wholeheartedly that growth of Steemit will pick up as time goes by!
Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold
I entered steemit at the end of January (less than four months ago) and my number is a little more than 600,000. Almost 400,000 new members in less than four months.
It looks like the snowball is really rolling down the hill!
well one million is a huge milestone in people mentality. So it might bring snowball of success. But we all know as you mentioned about that a lot of these accounts are bots.

I recently joined the Steemit community in February. I am very impressed with the potential that this program seems to have. Looking forward to meeting lots of new people here, and sharing info

I have to agree with you on the 1 mill being a milestone and even with a portion of them being bots it is still a big deal. I think the break through for steemit will come when more people have a better idea about crypto and when the formal is more user friendly like YouTube. If the interface can be cleaned up and developed a little more then it will be like when Windows came along after we had been using DOS. Thanks for the great post!!
I didn’t know we got to a million! Pretty crazy!
I think it’s only going to surge faster from here. But we will also see spammy accounts jumping in also. It will be interesting to see how it’s dealt with since we are decentralized unlike the big boys. I personally think it’s going to be a huge challenge but I also believe we will win on that issue!
The comment below me (right now but one at bottom of comments) is a fine example of this.
I think is Steemit is helping us becoming into greater persons
