Here is the latest stats from @arcange:

This graph is worrying:
It shows a worrying decrease of post and comment contributors over the last 5 months...
Not sure why there was a big spike in January. New year phenomenon?
Also, there appears to be around 80,000 individual accounts submitting a post over the last month.
That's an 8% posting participation.
In my mind the only way to improve on this is to get behind efforts such as @curie and Hivemind
This percentage is more important than the total number of accounts.
only a new year phenomenon in the sense that the price of steem had shot up and people were piling in. When it dropped they dropped off as well. Sort of fair weather steemians.
