I've noticed the account number growth has reached over 700k but there's less than 60k active users on any given day. Perhaps this is a symptom of the "get rich quick" expectation.
8-10% active users might just be the norm. When Steemit had 250,000 accounts, about 20,000 of them were active.
When there are 100,000,000 accounts, maybe “only” 9,000,000 will be active. 😎
