STEEMIT FAMILY! OUR PLATFORM CROSSED A HUGE MILESTONE ABOUT 13 HOURS AGO!! And we are all here for it!!! Complete overview + Update from my post Y-day.

---

So we crossed over into the 300,000 Steemit account threshold around the ~1:30 am range EST about 13 hours ago!

---

I am a numbers guy and always looking at stats and Crypto etc like many of you. I did not see anyone online discussing the 300k mark, so yesterday ---- I blogged on it and captured the screenshots leading up to it in this post!!

Later in the day, I noticed a few people had picked up on this post or stat --- and saw a couple other posts on it spreading the word.

---

---

I got online late today struggling with some some health issues but here around 2:30 pm EST ---- you can see we have long since crossed that 300k mark, like I was tracking last nite --- happened likely around the 1:45 AM - EST slot, very early this morning right around that 1:30-1:45 am EST slot like I was saying.

---

Here below is basically the rest of my post from y-day, with the wording and screenshots and timestamps so now it is all together in one post showing the before and after leading up to this occasion!

---

We are sitting right now at 299,867 accounts!! ( 7 pm, EST - Aug. 5th )

--

We've added a few accts since I started this post, I keep refreshing the page LOL.

I love me a good Milestone Post, we know that!!!!

---

Just about 5 hours ago -- when I was updating my personal stats for a Milestone Post ---- look how many accounts we had as we march on!

299,666 accounts as per SteemData.com earlier today! Right now as you can see we have 299,860!!

I did my stats at about 2 pm today, and went out to do some physio. I got back to do this post, as it was on my mind and it is 6:30 EST now and we are up to that 299,867 number.

-- so in about ~4 hours today we added another ~200 accounts.

---

By my math if things continue, then in the next 3-4 hours, we will cross the 300k barrier for accounts here. Meaning around 9 or 10 pm EST today, August 5th, 2017.

If you want you can check all the Steem Stats on that here -

---

EDIT --- hours later again now at 10:53 pm EST ---- we are soooo close now at 299,942 accounts!!

--

---

EDIT 2!! --- 90 mins later after LAST update again now at 12:13 am EST ---- we are soooo close now at 299,974 accounts!!

--

That was about 30 accounts added in ~90 mins.

I am a numbers and stats freak, LOL.

(:

---

So again, that means around 1:45 am, we will hit the 300k mark!!!

---

Our friend here @enjar made this for me this weekend, give him a follow, he is a beaut.

Solid community guy that helps us all reach milestones here together as a community and family!

When I keep saying:

We can do more, if we help one another.

I actually mean it. I help others here. Others have helped me.

-- it is what family and community do -- in order to grow and prosper, in all areas of life and -- Crypto!!

---

We must always head towards the path of Liberty. And help others on this path.
