## Content & Engagement Growth We have seen some spectacular growth in the past month. The new post creation is up from ~1,500 posts a day, to whopping 8,000 posts a day. ![aaaaa.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVd7wTLAM8UXkX7KfyX9SA66Zh7vKxkheGgUWhkjxRNWQ/aaaaa.png) More importantly, the community engagement is growing even faster - we are looking at a 1,000% increase in the past month. ![newplot (3).png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmc4tg1ZS4LPhz1zKzMGH4htKsbwRjX3PAkkAnMj1vpVnj/newplot%20(3).png) And lastly, the number of active daily users has at least doubled. The total numbers are probably higher, since this chart is based on blockchain events, and it doesn't include casual readers. ![newplot (4).png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdrJxiZi5dfpK3526pqj7FBhmKPRZEWDBNtmTm6a7S46F/newplot%20(4).png) ## Price Performance Daily STEEM/BTC chart is showing a nice uptrend, coupled with an increase in volume. ![](http://i.imgur.com/PXCjKsE.png) STEEM is still underperforming Bitcoin and other altcoins in nominal terms (implied USD price). This is partly due to the pre-HF17 inflation. ![newplot (5).png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYHPR9tZGCTz5TTVUcZfDLXsRYseKm6EZVDy31xyyULw1/newplot%20(5).png) From the simplistic view of comparison, Steem might have quite a bit of catching up to do. ![](http://i.imgur.com/4kmBAW4.png) ## Most Viewed Posts from the past week
