I haven't done one of these for quite a while but the stats are just awesome and breaking new boundaries.
Also some user have been suspecting things must be looking good and have been requesting an update.
A couple of weeks back we had a post that went viral and is likely or first to break a million views. It's just a pity that it didn't earn very much, even though it was fake news.

all the drive-by eyeballs that came to read it are represented by the large spike in the blue line circled below.
If we then proceed to the returning users baseline we can see that once again a rise in the steem price and the SBD 10x is fueling another big wave of user activity.
We started the year with a baseline of under 10 000 per day. We took a march up earlier in the year when the STEEM price rose to $2.50 to hover at 10 times that number for a couple of months. Now we look to be ending the year well over 200 000, which is more than double the mid year peak.
