Fridays are generally slower for on site traffic.
Even on good days since the jump in STEEM market cap, we have around 250 - 300 users on site simultaneously.
Earlier today we were peaking at over 500 simultaneous users, that's almost double!!!! and on a Friday.
...and here is the cause.
these are just a couple of the many....
PLEASE NOTE: the diversity of sites featuring the news, and as they say in the classics...
There is no such thing as bad publicity
It shows in the "active users on site" stats.
It may be news about a hacking which isn't positive but the quick response is highlighted and more importantly it is driving traffic to the steemit website from a far more diverse set of news sites.
I'm going to be interested to see what the sign up statistics look like tomorrow.
Thanks Hacker. $85 000 could not have bought this diverse kind of publicity.
...and nobody has coins to seriously dump when bittrex reopens the wallets!!!
