RE: Daily Steem Stats Report - Thursday, February 01, 2018

in #steemit7 years ago

Why would anyone vote for such a post? Is it for the money? Ok, but don't you think there should be some value in the upvoted posts? Can someone explain?

Sort:  

There's a lot more to Steem than the content creation, even if that's the underlying initial premise.

There are huge areas of debate around how to make the platform grow, how to retain users, whether the Steem price will rise or fall, which changes to make in the Hard Forks to improve the platform, whether the remuneration is working or needs to be changed, whether SBD should be pegged etc etc.

The above stats (and the various stats articles in general) are really useful in keeping an eye on how the blockchain is doing and helping to decide what should be done next. Headlines from the above are :

  • Huge surge in new account creation - generally a good thing
  • Steemit account continues to power down - slightly worrying
  • A little more Steem heading out to exchanges than is coming in - keeping an eye on this
  • An intriguing golden unicorn to check out.

It's fascinating once you get into it.

Yes unicorns are curious creatures,
perhaps in the context of Steemit should referred to as a Narwhal

PenguinPablo had created for us Steemians applications such as https://www.steemnow.com and https://steemblockexplorer.com. Steemnow help us to monitor voting power and the other one the curation and who votes in the particular post. We are indebted to him in a way

Did you comment on the wrong post? Many of us see value in keeping up to date with the state of the network. Even if that doesn't interest you, the author creates several useful tools for Steem such as steemnow.com and steemblockexplorer.com

I'm literally working on a post about that idea right now - though to be fair, this post has waaaaay more value than some I've seen . It's got information! Sure, people could find most of it themselves if they could be bothered, but that's free markets for you.
