[Текст на српском] We are at the year's end. Usually, that's the time for a conclusion comment. We did miss November report, shocked by the Facebook's “new achievements”…

There is a question mark over further meaningful comparison of the flourishing community, which is Steemit, against the biggest criminal centralized network, which is Facebook. You think I exaggerate? Let's see some greatest achievements in 2017…

While Facebook has been improving censorship techniques over the whole states, and establishing itself as the greatest narco-peddling platform, Steemit has made up to the Top 10 Companies of the Blockchain Industry in 2017 according to The Cointelegraph! That's certainly no small feat!

We have also witnessed a rise of a new decentralized social platforms, aimed at the market formerly held by Twitter and Facebook. They are Sola and Yours. Blockchain revolution is in full swung! It is gonna be an exciting 2018!

As for the statistics…
