We’re closing in on an incredible year in crypto. This year our industry made news for all kinds of things. Steemit has grown quite well in the same timeframe with users in the hundred of thousand. I hope we can reach our first million users within another month or two at Steemit.
If you’ve been around on Steemit.Chat you may have noticed it getting busier and there a lot more names using our favourite chat platform today than when we started over a year ago. Steemit chat has 40000 users today with one more day to go before we cross over into 2018.
Steemit chat continues to remain a good place to talk directly to other Steemians and users of our Steem blockchain. It’s a great place to make new online friends, collaborate on projects, share your content amongst other things.
We’ve grown steadily since Steemfest and have added approximately 5000 new users in the past 3 weeks alone. I wonder when we’d hit 100K users on the platform but I reckon that it won’t take very long to get there if Steemit and all the apps built on the Steem blockchain continue growing.

There's a lot of things you can do on the platform. You can build your community, be part of an existing community or have a group chat.
You can find and direct message any user on Steemit.Chat but try not spam them with your links when you use this feature. There's also an option to have OTR (Off-The Record) private conversations via Direct Messages where your chat gets encrypted when you end it. It's also very secure.
