As the Steem price heads for a new all time high (maybe) the Steemit site is drawing more attention. It has an Alexa rank in the top 10,000 for the first time since last October. Back then it reached about 9150. I expect to do much better than that this year.
It varies a lot by country, but it's about to hit the top 3000 in the USA and top 2000 in South Korea. Stats from Hypestat.
This has to be due in part to the big increase in users. About 10,000 have joined in the last week according to Steemd. We should hit 200,000 this month. I don't know how things stand regarding automating the account validation, but it looks like someone is very busy. Can any new users let us know how long they had to wait?

I really wasn't expecting to see Steem over $2 so soon. I hope this rise is sustainable, but the rise in activity here gives me confidence. It may still be a good time to buy some Steem if you are starting out as you can power up your account a little more, but please don't rely on me for financial advise. I feel very lucky to have made anything here.
