yesterday while I was flipping through my flipboard posts i came across post entitled - ‘Which Cryptocurrencies Have the Fastest Transaction Speeds?’ and was kinda shocked to not see steemit not even mentioned there which brings up multi questions to me but mainly — WHAT IS IT ABOUT STEEMIT THAT THE MARKET DOES’NT TRUST?

you can check out the blog post here — https://www.fool.com/investing/2018/01/14/which-cryptocurrencies-have-the-fastest-transactio.aspx — the writer is @TMFUltraLong (Sean Williams) on twitter, I’m going to drop him a message on twitter (from Hive account@philcampbell) to point to this blog post and give him a few things to check out so he can maybe do a correction on his post.

So obviously this got me a little wound that steem was not even mentioned when it’s quite obvious on most days of the week that steem is pushing more transactions (at least from a blockchain perspective) that some of the more well known sites — it appeared from his report that he had used an infographic from howmuch.net rather than some real time data from something that we all know at love like Block’tivity which shows the following today..

Yep that’s right 1,553,205 transactions on the blockchain in the last 24hrs, a little shy of our day record of 1,660,739 transactions compared to the next closest which is ethereum at 1,372,918 transactions with an often overloaded at 100% capacity blockchain with currently 18k of unconfirmed transactions pending — now I’m not trying to blow smoke up the steem blockchain backside but it’s obvious, the stats data does not lie — transactions vs blockchain capacity is here and it’s not breaking a sweat.

maybe we should get Hive account@fitzgibbon activated!

If you don’t know Hive account@fitzgibbon did a fantastic campaign to promote steemit using a great animated gif to show that very transaction speed, it was very received and did it’s job — a lot was learned from doing it, in fact I think it’s time to do another one, I could easily create one and I’ve used thunderclap in years passed to promote things like kickstarter campaigns but instead of jumping on his bandwagon why not just support the person that has the juice! :)

I suggest that we make another animated graphic or something that references the motley fool article and that we all get behind so that it puts out a tweet and mentions the twitter writer by name (@TMFUltraLong) that way he will get a bunch of responses from over five hundred people and maybe that might push him to update his article or write another one this time taking a look at the steemit blockchain as well in terms of transaction speed for his report — without the solid support of steemit, devs and witnesses steemit would not be the blockchain powerhouse it is today.

JUST BECAUSE OUR MARKET CAP IS SO LOW DOES NOT MEAN WE DON'T ALREADY HAVE THE BEST BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY OUT THERE CURRENTLY, LIVE, ACTIVE AND BATTLETESTED FOR OVER 20+ MONTHS ALREADY!
