2 Million Steemit Accounts by Dec 2018
So, I work in sales. In sales we have to make forecasts. I'm making one now. Steemit will hit 2 million steemit accounts a little over a year from today.
How'd you get there Aggroed?
Ok, so if you look at Elyaque's most recent tracking post he does a nice job showing Steemians where we are at.
Here's teh post I'm taking this from: https://steemit.com/steemit/@elyaque/daily-steem-report-october-25th-steem-0-95usd-2552-new-accounts
Anyway, we're adding 2500 accounts today. That means if we keep up that exact same pace then 1 year from now we'll add 912k accounts. That will bring the total up to 1.3M as of 1 year from now. But here's teh thing. It won't go at that rate. It'll speed up because each person will bring a buddy, and they'll bring a buddy, and the growth rate will look exponential. So, there's the basis for my prediction. 2M accounts a little over a year from now. Should be fun.
I don't mean to tell you what to do... but I'm gonna hold onto my steem for a while still....
Risks
The major risk is this place stops working entirely. I have faith that won't happen. I think people will find some ways to make the steemit ecosystem less centralized by basically hosting more rpc nodes and more people will choose to run their own condenser. That'll make this place more resiliant and a little sexier as an investment choice.
The upside
We already do more transactions per second then just about any other block, and we're still only a year old. We're efficient and we have done 19 hardforks with no side chains. This program despite some of it's flaws it's pretty powerful. So, I don't know if we'll follow btc up to 6k/coin, but even if we're at 60 a few years from now we'll all be sitting pretty.
Eek this is so exciting! I can't wait for this platform to grow even bigger.
I'm pretty excited about it!
Couldn't agree more, took the words out of my mouth :)
Steem definitely has so much power! It can be used for some many other things aside from just a blogging platform. Arent't there other platforms using steem too? I'm also loving this new UI format. Improvements little by little.
There's the steem blockchain and then a bunch of different ways to access it. You've probably using steemit.com there's also busy.org, zappl, dtube, dsound, dMania to name a few. Some of those different websites cater to slightly different content for different communities. But, all backed by the Steem blockchain.
Another thing steem can do is it has a zero fees wallet. Yep. Zero fees and transactions happen in a few seconds.
Hello & Cheers!! I'm a content detection and information bot. You are receiving this reply because a short link or links have been detected in your post/comment. The purpose of this message is to inform your readers and yourself about the use of and dangers of short links.
To the readers of the post: Short links are provided by url shortening services. The short links they provide can be useful in some cases. Generally their use is benign. But as with all useful tools there are dangers. Short links can be used to hide all sorts of things. Quite frequently they are used to hide referral links for instance. While not dangerous this can be deceptive. They can also be used to hide dangerous links such as links to phishing sites, sites loaded with malware, scam sites, etc. You should always be extremely cautious before clicking on one. If you don't know and trust the poster don't click. Even if you do you should still be cautious and wary of any site you are sent to. It's always better to visit the site directly and not through a short link.
To the author of the post: While short links may be useful on some sites they are not needed on steemit. You can use markdown to format your links such as this link to steemit. It's as simple as
[steemit](https://steemit.com)Unlike short links this allows the reader to see where they are going by simply hovering over the link before they click on it.Este articulo fue votado por @provenezuela

I think that's a reasonable estimate. It could be a lot more though if they can get the kinks worked out of the site and HF20 delivers on simplifying the onboarding process.
Personally, I'm not evangelizing until those issues are in the rearview. Once they are though, the gate is open because once it's easy for people to invite their friends and joining up is as simple as it is on any other site, this thing will take off real quick.
Wow this is great news for all of us!
This will make steemit grow fast and this is our advantage 😄
When there are so many users on this platform, the steem also rises its prices due to high demand. Thanks for this great news @aggroed
Wow this is great news for all of us!
I like your projections! Also, if we get some people in the media to adopt Steemit we could really see the numbers increase.
So glad i joined 3 days ago.. 😁😍
Is it really this easy? I don't think so to attract a wider audience all the different steem interfaces need to improve in simplicity and focus more on easy content consumption than only on rewarding creation.
Getting your tailored news feeds on Twitter and Facebook is still a lot easier. Steem won't automatically growth just because we want it.
By doing hard work with consistency can achieve every type of target. its your special post.
