Comparison between steemit, reddit, weibo and facebook --- statistics show the great potential of steemit
Someone might say that it's very brave to compare steemit with others, as steemit is still in its very early stage, it's like comparing a baby with adult.
However, an elephant baby is still bigger than an adult ant. Therefore, to tell whether Steemit is an ant or an elephant is very necessary.
In the past weeks, steemit has been going viral, and the number of accounts increases like a rocket. So wonder where is the limit of steemit. Let's compare steemit with counterparts.
I selected five counterparts to compare with --- facebook, twitter, reddit, and weibo. The monthly active accounts are illustrate in the following graph:
As we can see, facebook is the biggest SNS and has 1.75 billion monthly active accounts, while reddit, twitter and weibo are close to each other, they have 234 million, 310 million and 280 million monthly active accounts, respectively.
How about steemit? It has just reached 50,000 accounts yesterday. If you believe that steemit, as the first blockchain based decentralized social news service, will eventually take a place in this market, you have to admit :
Steemit has a great potential, and we are all early birds.
Obiviously, there is a lot of market room for steemit to occupy.
The first milestone is to surpass Reddit?
It's especially reasonable to compare steemit with reddit, because both of them are positioned as social news service, instead of social networking.
If we use the the average increase rate of steemit and reddit in the past two weeks, we get the following estimated curves:
It predicts that by the 47th weeks from now, the number of steemit will exceed reddit!!!
Do you dare imagine it?
Yes, I do.

思路很好，但是感觉说服力还不是很强。
我的数理统计能力不够，感觉数据不够充实。谁能挖掘出更多的数据来比一比，用big data来预测一下，我觉得会有惊喜。
I like where you're going with this... Just one thing: You better check and fix your Facebook numbers. There are less than 8 billion people on the planet, and less than 2 billion on the internet!
Thanks for your reminding, but I meant the accounts. There may be multiple accounts or zombie accounts...
17.5billion =175亿
不可能那么多账号

Has there been a prior social network where English-speaking and Chinese users both got involved in the early days and interacted frequently in a non-silo fashion?
No precedent. Wow, steemit could be the first one?
this is a good observation, but whether we can keep it this way in the future is not without doubts - though I sincerely hope so.
不错，分析的很好，楼主用心了
回头看看这篇，似乎过于乐观了。Reddit 的网站搭建用了多少台服务器需要多大流量，steemit 还有很长的路要走。反正我个人是不看好纯粹靠发币挣钱维持公司运作的做法，可以说 steemit 尚未找到自己的盈利模式。
