According to https://blocktivity.info/ BTS has nearly doubled our STEEM record of 2.5 million transactions (tx) in a single day.

The new world record of daily tx belongs to BTS with 4,817,604 tx (STEEM record is 2,522,380 tx)

Any ideas why or how BTS more than tripled their old record in this short amount of time and in the current BTC downtrend? Post them in the comments.... BTS is still @ 4mill tx today which is a lot!

UPDATE: Thanks to Hive account@taskmaster4450 we now have a plausible explanation. He wrote in the comments:

It was posted either in a telegram group or on twitter. A number of people were referencing it as it (BTS tx pump) was happening including on here. Then it came out that one of the witnesses had a script that ended up spamming the chain.

But somebody is still spamming the chain, as today was over 4mill tx again!
