I've had an excellent day and so has Steem.
We hit 1 million accounts created! Whoot! The first Million is the hardest and takes the longest to hit.
Hitting a million accounts is a fact, what it means is open to debate. No matter what these accounts are or what they will do they are proof that there is interest in Steem Accounts. Some of these accounts are likely end-users and some of them might be scammers, spammers, or squatters as the critics have been quick to point out.
I worded my statement carefully for this reason. A million accounts have been created and no matter what they are for, I think it is a measurement! It is also a fact. If I said we have a million users, that could be false.
I would say that hitting a Million Accounts means there is Interest. let's consider them 'warm leads' for now and see how it pans out!
I'm going to celebrate anyway!!
On this important day, I also was a guest on The Steem Experience, hosted by @richardcrill and @seablue. Normally, @battleaxe is part of the show, but unfortunately she wasn't there today, due to a personal appointment. The experience was fun and got me thinking about many things relating to steem, steemit and the future.
Here is the link, pay attention to what excellent hosts @seablue and @richardcrill were. I'm not always comfortable when being interviewed, but these guys were great at making the guest appearance feel conversational and easy! If you get a chance, go on the show! :)

I hope you had a great day as well!
That's a solid miletsone to pass, it should only pick up steem from here. Hopefully it becomes a bit more streamlined and user friendly so the newbies not only sign up, but also stick around longer
Woot woot Let the good times roll! I did a meme yesterday as we were coming close to 1 million , it's so awesome 😁👊👍 upped and resteemed 👍
I hit one year today and I also noticed we hit 1 million accounts. If I remember right we are between 60 and 70k active users. All of this compared to a year ago is a great accomplishment. Through all the drama and the forks. Missed the show but I will have to listen when I get home.
Glad to a part of first million. Account creation process is very slow at this point and if that is improved we will hit 2 lot faster.
Next goal :let's go for 10 million of steemians
I thought it went well. No singing though? :( lol
Do you have a link to the show?
Also, I might have to borrow you sometime too. I stream live on the same network every Wednesday......mwa ha ha haaa!

Hit me up sometime, I need the leading questions that these guys provided, to get started and then try and shut me up. lol
Will do! It should be fun.
It's a cool number, but we know only around 6% of accounts are active. I have to wonder what all the rest are for. Steemit will be very different when there are a million active accounts
when I first saw your title in my feed, I thought it meant Steem got some kind of publicity at the Toronto Stock Exchange. 😂
I’m just glad we’re part of that 1st million. In before the hype 😂. Onwards and upwards.
The creation process needs to be more simple though
wow its a great achievement lets celebrate.
this is remarkable indeed. I signed up around a week ago. I'm astonished how little "spam" and scammers i've crossed so far. I've been looking for alternatives from the current mainstream networks - and I'm glad I landed here. The value and quality of the post I'm seeing is beyond what I've found anywhere else so far!
There's definitely a trend happening. Bigger shifts to come! Keep it up. I'm in your team.
Yes, attainment of million user is an great Milestone, and yes we cannot call every account as an end user but, as we can see in an Economy, there are many types of people, but they are still part of an particular Economy, same way Steemit is not perfect but, we are like an whole Economy moving with both pros and cons. Let's hope for more heights attainment. And i watched the Podcast and that one hour show was really amazing. Thanks for sharing this post with us and wishing you an great day. Stay blessed. 🙂
Let the cake flow! Congratulations to all of us, it is a small victory for us. Hopefully we'll hit 2M in half the time @whatsup
might be less than half.
That's a solid miletsone to pass, it should only pick up steem from here. Hopefully it becomes a bit more streamlined and user friendly so the newbies not only sign up, but also stick around longer
Wow thats amazing. We made it. Time has come when steemit will be in top of all social networking app. Feeling happy about it.
What a milestone :)
