STEEMIT: With no fewer than 3,063 New Accounts registered today, I am sticking with my Minimum Target of 650,000 Accounts by Year End, but we need MORE MARKETING..!!
Accounts per day 2017 SCREEN
As we fast approach 300,000 Accounts on STEEMIT, I am pleased to announce that today saw no fewer than 3,063 New Accounts registered.
This latest spike in registrations once again cements the Minimum Target of 650,000 Accounts by Year End previously reported.
However, it comes with one proviso, and that is we need MORE MARKETING..!!
In order to calculate the Target, I have taken the average Daily Accounts from June, July and August and applied it to the remaining number of days.
Allowing for the ongoing exponential growth witnessed in the last 9 weeks, I am confident that this Minimum Target will be met subject to Marketing..!!
Thanks for reading.
Stephen
Speaking of 3,000 new registered account.
You are closing in on 3,000 followers!
Congratulations!!
Thank Mike. It has been an absolute amazing year for me on Steemit. I am so glad to have kicked off #promo-uk a few months ago and though we have barley scratched the surface a lot of primarily work has been put in place. Marketing and Promoting Steemit has been so much fun but there is still a lot of work to be done in bringing awareness both inside and outside of the Community. Crowdsourcing the Marketing and Promotion was a stroke of genius by Steemit Inc but everyone in the Community has to embrace it to make it work. Looking forward to celebrating the 3,000th follower. Thanks as always for your tremendous and overwhelming support of my Blog. I really appreciate it Mike. Have a great week. Stephen
yes i say this as often as i can we ALL need to do marketing for steemit @jerrybanfield style just go check out his blog and get onboard the Jerry Express hahaha no but seriously just follow his example of making youtube vieos all about how much money you can make on steemit in tact the smaller amount the better, because showing someone how you made $100 and $400 off a single post seems out of reach but if you can show how you gotlike $1 off thios post $4 off this post $10 off this post, its more realistic for more people they feel like this could actually be worth their time if they can just stack up crypto like this! Like acumulating Rupees in a Zelda videogame , its this feeling of acumulating money without any penalties...most peoiple are used to some catch like if they dont sopend the steem it gets taen away, peopel are so SUED to getting screwed that they expect it
So part of the reason peopel dont trust or believe in steemiut has to dio with general distrust of new online money making systems...the other big issues is that steemits design seems stale to make newcomers who want flashy snapchat type apps, but we WILL have all that, the very fact that we HAVE a social media working on a blockchain is a MIRACLE and we should not forget that we have something VERY advanced here
just because we dont have 2 billion users YET doesnt mean we wont ventuallY!
view.ly is coming out and it will be the youtube for steem where videos can be uploaded content creators can get paid in steem it will be glorious and it alone will bring in millions of users
then when reddit starts to loose its apeal and people realize they could get PAID to post and comment we will see mass exodus of reddit and other social media websites like instagram for steemit and we will have SteepShot app to replace instagram and EVENTUALyeven a friends list facebook type experience maybe with busy.org with extra features to compete with facebook as wel with direct mesenger apps etc, we will Zappl too to compete with twotter, so we will actually have all these different layers of decentraliozed apps all built upon the steem blockchain, all dumping tons of content INTO steemit all showing uip on steemit allowing us to upvote and comment with a whole graphene ECOSYSTEM and then when EOS comes out and when Bitshares Openledger is builty into teh steemit walet and you can exchange bitcoin and ethereum and altcoins for steem all intrnaly on your steem alet, peopel wont haveto leave steem for anythng! We will even have a steem blockchain for SCHOOLS for ids can get paid to do homework and do good school reports...it will change the world for the better and stem will be worth more than $1000 each...
I am certain we will pass the target and Steem will trade at $10 before the end of the year. I am so positive about it right now
I absolutely believe that is not only possible, but likely. As the Steemit user base continues to grow exponentially as people discover this amazing platform, so does the STEEM currency.
Let's keep the hope alive and STEEM ON!
Hopefully a decent percent of those 3k new accounts are actual people with a pulse. Human engagement is the best kind.
What was the name of the bot that told you that story? LOL
I was one of those! And I'm super real, not very interesting at the moment, but real non the less.
yeah. Not much crow about if most of those are bots and sockpuppets.
Good to see +3000 new accounts joining!!
Although I love Steemit and got a fair share of investment in it. My main worry with Steemit is that we also need enough investment coming in and I am not so sure the two come hand in hand as the reward pool get's dilluted more and more whilst the marketcap remains the same. More people joining doesn't seem to equate to higher marketcap at the moment.
Perhaps it takes time.
In order for Steemit to work I think the idea of allowing only 1% per week to power down is not going to make for a healthy economy especially as 80% is being held by topwhales.
Either the whales have to make a commitment to Steemit and promise not to collapse the system on itself, or there has to be an adjustable system so that if for instance there are to many people powering down ( right now it seems quite balanced on daily average) the 1% a week become 0.5% a week. Allowing for a better chance for steem to pick up it's paste and not collapse on itself.
I know that Steemit will then become a possibly very long investment idea, but I feel a lot of people are worried about investing when chances of inflation are pure dependant on how many people will power down versus people that buy into steem and perhaps power up.
I can quite easily foresee a massive imbalance with the current system.
Not wanting to hijack your post but interested to see what your view is on this.
No problem. You have to disconnect STEEM and STEEMIT to look at the bigger picture. What we have at the moment is Blogging site that has a Crypto Currency. In the future we will have a Crypto Currency that just happens to be built around a Blogging site. This is a massive difference. The fun will come when Pension Funds start buying STEEM. You have to give it at least 3-5 years before the real party kicks off..!! Stephen
Thx for the reply Stephen and I like your vision!
As you mentioned in the blog marketing is the way forward.
As we are still in the very early stages and most startups 90% fail not talking about crypto % might be higher, I think all possible safeguards need to be taken place to make sure that
the price of Steem thus the marketcap is protected up to a certain level as otherwise the reward system is pretty much useless. The main appeal right now is that everyone has a chance to make a little bit of money. The lower the marketcap the less appeal Steemit wil have imo.
In the meantime getting your family/ friends involved to have a go at Steemit is probably one of the strongest ways of spreading Steemit apart from getting some famous people over to start blogging on here.
Does the inflation rate on Steemit change as a function of power up and power down? I didnt think it did. But could be wrong
Well the amount of steem available on the free market ie. steem that can be bought drives the price down. The same effect as quantitive easing has on the normal currency markets.
Steem that is powered up is not part of the amount of coins openly available on the market until they are powered down.
So in terms of that I would say inflation is variable dependent also on the amount of power downs that are happening.
It does depend onhpwhat your definition is of inflation so let me know if I see this wrong!
OK, I see how you are thinking about it now. Makes sense
These 3000 new accounts are probably 95% bots. I have now met so many people on here having bot armies in the size of thousands, one even had over 10k bots. And they don't stop, they continue creating bots using bots. And I also think that this practice will increase the more valuable Steem becomes.
Wow. This could work out great. I have 10,000 acres for sale in Florida right near Disney. Would the person who told you they have 10K bots; would they want to buy an acre per bot? Would make for a great retirement home for that army once they get old enough to want to retire
STEEM On!!

GREAT POST....... I RECENTLY WROTE AN ARTICLE EXPLAINING GROWTH OF SOME OF THE BIGGEST TECH SUPERSTARS. THIS INCLUDED APPLE, FACEBOOK, ETHEREUM, WHATSAPP, AND STEEM. REMEMBER THIS PLATFORM IS ONLY 16 MONTHS AND THINGS TAKE TIME. THE GROWTH RATE IS SIMILAR TO THE NAMES I'VE MENTIONED........... 300- 1 MILLION USERS WILL COME......BUT SO WILL 10,20,100 MILLION OR EVEN BILLIONS. THIS CONCEPT IS NEW, AND THINGS TAKE TIME... THINK 3-7 YEARS AND BE THANKFUL YOUR HERE WHILE THESE ASSETS ARE DIRT CHEAP.
"THINK 3-7 YEARS".. I could not agree more. STEEM and STEEMIT has barely scratched the surface. Stephen
new account hear. just joined yesterday :D @stephenkendal
Welcome to Steemit. Stephen
one user has over 1200 accounts and there is no support for original musicians or artists here - i am becoming despairing over our future if whales and dolphins continue to curate eachother and no minnow can rise up with buying into vote buying sites and other gimmicks .. time to talk to everyone about the benefit of supporting minnows with talent -i am doing my bit by putting up my own money to run a competition for musicians to prosper
Rock On!!
thanks for connecting Dave - i am now following you - i am also David.
@stephenkendal I was just wondering your thoughts on having multiple accounts or, at least just one to perhaps separate a project from the person. Is there anyway to tell if there is an issue in getting an account, other than just waiting for the confirmation email? I helped a friend get an account on the same day and whilst the other has arrived, there is still no word for my other friend. Do you know what factors play into the speed or reliability of accounts being created or how to check? You are like a Steemit Wizard from where I sit, so I thought I would come straight to the tower to ask. Cheers @ecoknowme
