Steemit Statistics & Big Data: ? End of May 2019 Update ?

June 25, 2019 (updated June 25, 2019) Published by

Thanks to ALL of you, Steemit is still alive, stabilizing and preparing for the next Bull Run !

We reached 13.19 mn visits in May 2019!

There is an important difference between total visitors to a site and unique ones. In this case the 13.19mn include the multiple times a person visited the website.

Therefore, as a good Steemian you probably connect everyday which will make you count for a total of 30 visits.

Therefore, how many “unique users” does Steemit has?

This is a very important question that I will try to answer later on. According to the Beta Analysis from the website I use to compile these datas, it is around 7,69mn (vs c.7mn last month) !

One quick word about the Methodology

  • Datas can come from multiple sources listed in the end of this post
  • These sources get their raw datas from companies working with them and sharing their datas in order to get access to competitor’s ones, browsers add-ons, in-app softwares which allow the Big Data to have a very large panel of users (north of 20mn) in order to statistically have the number of users/visits…
  • I use these raw datas to make excels tables, graphs…

I] Traffic

Daily Steemit Traffic

In January 2018, we experienced the best daily numbers at 1.5mn+; they decreased a little under 1.5mn in February.
Unfortunately the daily traffic on Steemit slowed down to c.400 000 in December 2018. Let’s hope it is just a little setback
In April 2019, the average daily traffic was closer to 450k per day. In May it increased a little more.
Another, explanation could be that people spend more time on apps (Partiko, Steepshot, Dtube, Steemmonster, eSteem…) which are not accounted in this analysis.

Numbers are still low BUT it is improving (stabilizing would be more accurate) since January 2018 !

Steemit website is ranked 5,316 worldwide. In April, it was sitting at 5,325.
Steemit kept on deteriorating its ranking as it ranked 1400+ last year.

Google Trends

Google Trend is an Indice based on 100, which means that 100 represents the week when most people searched for “Steemit” on Google.

Google Trends are still very low but there is hope as Bitcoin Google Trend is increasing again, maybe more crypto users joining decentralized platforms?

Bitcoin Google Trend Graph

Steemit Traffic share by country

In the Top 5, the strongest traffic increase came from Venezuela with +9.75% visits!

Mobile Traffic is increasing compared to last month as it represents 50.1% of the total

This is increasing as it was only c.42% in January 2019


This is useful to know how people use the Steem platform. Initiatives like Partiko (mobile app), eSteem (mobile app), Busy.org, SteepShot (Instagram), Zappl (Twitter like), utopian-io…, TIMM will probably help the community to grow on mobile phones.

Be Careful with the Number of Visits

Also, remember that if you connect from a different device (home/work computer, mobile phone, tablet) you will count as a “new visitor” on each of these devices.

So as an example, let’s say you connected at home, at work and in the subway. You would represent 3 visits out of these 1mn+ Daily Visits.

II] Marketing Mix

Organic Search is once again improving and represents 65,6% of the incoming Traffic.
Organic search is when people research on Google. As the number of quality bloggers on Steemit increase, our content has a higher probability of being listed in Google’s Top results.

Different Channels:

Direct: When you type in you Web browser www.steemit.com
Mail: When you connect to steemit.com through an e-mail link
Referrals: When you connect to steemit.com through a link found on another website (github…)
Social: When you connect to Steemit through a Facebook, Twitter, Instagram… page or link
Organic Search: When you type a search term like “Crypto” on Google and you click on one of the following steemit link proposed to you

Traffic Share Evolution since inception of this analysis

The Organic Search Strategy which means the Content Strategy is working as people come across Steemit looking for Crypto, Blog, Travel, etc… related articles.

Referring Social Pages

Youtube represents 30,7% of all the social platform incoming traffic. Reddit is also a strong source of new visits on the Steemit Platform. Last month, Facebook was the first Social Media to bring traffic to Steemit.com with a 33.1% contribution.

5 most searched terms on Google that leads to Steemit.com

To be honest, I don’t really get how some of these requests lead you to Steem but… it does.

What are Steemians main interests?

Gender Demographics

Age Distribution

III] Steemit website metrics

You feel a bit confused about these 3 metrics? Let me explain.

  • Bounce Rate is the % of people that leave the Website after just navigating on a single Webpage. The lower, the Better
  • Daily Pageviews per Visitor is the average number of pages a visitor opens. The Higher, the Better
  • Daily Time on Site is the full time a visitor spend on the website before closing the internet Webpage. The Higher the Better

My assumptions for May 2019

  • Total visits to Steemit.com: 13,19mn
  • Assumption of Total unique visitors in January: 6.7-7.2mn
  • Total Daily visitors: 380-400k
  • Assumption of Total Daily Unique visitors: 240-280k

This is a collective achievement and I would like to congratulate all of us! We need to do better and get back to the January 2018’s type of numbers.

This monthly report makes me very optimistic about STEEM’s future !

As you probably all followed, we have a new communication strategy. We have Steemit Inc. delivering on numerous fronts (including HF21). The community is continuing to build. Just look at our dapps ecosystem and the latest @steemmonsters release (app coming sooooon :D)

We have so many projects that have matured, such an amazing Community and with Crypto prices bouncing we might have a chance to attract new users very soon!

Bring your friends, engage with fellow Steemians and make little Tribes !

June 25, 2019 Published by

 
Here I am – buying yet again.
This isn’t my first buying spree of the month, I wrote about my previous round of buying in “Crypto Shopping Cart – 6 June”. Some things have changed since than, some haven’t .

A lot. I have actually been shopping three times since my last Shopping Cart blog post. The fact that I am now averaging a

Welcome to the Daily Crypto News: A complete Press Review, Coin Calendar and Trading Analysis. Enjoy!

? BIS Wants ‘Level Playing Field’ for Banks Amid Threat from Facebook

The Bank for International Settlements (BIS), often described as the bank for central banks, has issued its annual report for 2019, expressing concerns over the expected disruption as big tech firms like Facebook enter the financial space.


While titled “Big tech in finance: opportunities and risks,” the report looks at the risks and challenges posed by companies such as Alibaba, Amazon, Facebook, Google and Tencent, rather than paying lip service to the potential benefits of this building fintech revolution.


These firms have developed huge customer bases, says BIS, and have the benefit of a “data-network-activities loop” which gives them ” the potential to become dominant.”


While the encroach of such companies into payments, money management, insurance and lending has only just started, it brings the potential for major change in the finance industry.

? Facebook’s Libra Cryptocurrency: Bad for Privacy, Bad for Competition

Allowing Facebook to mint its own coin, the Libra, would turn it into the greatest anti-competitive trust case in history. It would make the early 20th century Morgans or Rockefellers seem downright competitive.


Even before it unveiled its vision for a global cryptocurrency this month, Facebook was already a near-monopoly in social media, and part of a duopoly in its main markets. Together with Google, it controls 82% of the digital advertising market. 


In the past, Facebook has purchased any company that threatened it, e.g. Instagram and WhatsApp. And, when it spots a company that won’t sell itself or would be difficult to purchase, it uses the “embrace, enhance and extinguish” technique.  

? Bitcoin on Track for Best Second Quarter Price Gain on Record

Bitcoin’s 165 percent gain so far this quarter is the best second quarter performance on record and the highest quarterly percentage gain since the end of 2017. The stellar gains have bolstered the long-term bullish technical setup.


While the relative strength index is reporting overbought conditions, there are no signs of bullish exhaustion on the daily, 3-day or weekly charts. As a result, the outlook remains bullish with resistances lined up at $11,247 and $11,394, according to Bitstamp data.


A minor pullback to $10,000 could be seen if the price again fails to hold onto gains above $11,000, validating a more bearish setup on the 4-hour chart.


The bullish outlook would be invalidated if the price finds acceptance below $9,097 (May 30 high).

? Crypto Analyst Says Bitcoin Price Could Hit $100,000 During Next Bull Run

ThinkMarkets chief market analyst Naeem Aslam predicts that bitcoin (BTC) will hit somewhere between $60,000 and  $100,000 during its next bull run, according to a Fox Business interview on June 24.


Aslam had previously predicted on June 17 that BTC would hit $10,000 in “a couple of weeks,” citing institutional involvement as a major driver. Bitcoin successfully reached the five figure mark on June 22, marking a record high that has not been seen in over one year.


According to Aslam, the major price points to look out for now are $20,000 and $50,000. He argues that by hitting $20,000, discussion will move from conservative estimates exceeding the number one cryptocurrency’s all-time high to forecasts of $50,000; from there, breaking $50,000 will move the price target to $100,000. 

? President of Uganda to Lead Blockchain Conference in Kampala in July

The President of Uganda, Yoweri Museveni, will officiate the 2019 Africa Blockchain Conference, according to a report by Kabuubi Media Africa on June 24


According to the report, The 2019 Africa Blockchain Conference — not to be confused with  The Blockchain Africa Conference 2019 which occurred in April — will be held from July 3 to July 4, and the theme is ’Africa 4.0:  Preparing Africa for the 4th Industrial Revolution.’ The conference topics will reportedly include fintech, payment systems, and the future of education.


President Museveni reportedly supported the use of blockchain technology in Uganda during his inaugural speech. Museveni is said to have cited four economic areas that he believes should be supported by blockchain technology: agriculture, manufacturing and processing, services, and the ICT sector.

STEEM Trading Update by my friend @cryptopassion

Here is the chart of yesterday :

STEEMUSD.jpg

Here is the current chart :

STEEMUSD.jpg

As predicted yesterday, we went touch the resistance line at around 0.43$. However, we had an immediate rejection from the market as you can see with the several red candles. So yeah this first try was no a success. We are now progressing again and trying to break back the resistance line at 0.41$. Let’s see when it will be done if we will be able to break the 0.43 resistance line with a second attempt.

Crypto Contest June 25: BTU Protocol

June 25, 2019 Published by

BTU Protocol (Bittrex: BTUBTC) has broken out of the triangle pattern in the daily chart.

Elliott Wave Analysis

In Elliott Wave terms, BTU began a wave one advance on May 13. The red wave one (blue sub-waves i-ii-iii-iv-v) finished on June 9, and the red wave two (blue sub-waves a-b-c) correction ended on June 22. If this wave count is correct, BTU should be heading next towards the June 9 peak in the red wave three.

Binance Coin May Be The Most Technically Sound Price Action There Is Right Now!

June 25, 2019 Published by

Have to say, the binance (BNB) price chart is clean and orderly.  It has just been a steady ascent for quite some time now without any real crazy rips or dips.
Consistently riding the moving average
Looking at the chart you can see how it continually grinds higher and then pulls back to the 10 day moving average.   Sometimes it will push below it for a couple days, but often it does not.  Either way it ends up pushing back above it and riding it higher.

This thing is in full uptrend mode as long as price maintains 35.50 or above.

State of the DApps & PALNET.io

June 24, 2019 (updated June 24, 2019) Published by

Checking STATE of THE DAPPS today…

I see that the supremacy of STEEM DApps is losing some terrain at the top 10.

4 out of the top 10 DApps are STEEM based but now ETHEREUM DApps are 5 out of 10…

But, wait… Am I the only one missing palnet.io listed at the STATE OF THE DAPPS website ?

Weird…

Palnet.io is a great project built on top of the STEEM blockchain, launched already more than three weeks ago, upgraded and updated and working perfectly. Users are also increasing day after day… so, @aggroed, why is it not listed there?

I could do it myself but I think it would not be fair at all since I am just a user so, I hope some of the developers (@aggroed , @yabapmatt or, why not other steemians involved at Palnet can do it as @crimsonclad for instance…

Just go to https://www.stateofthedapps.com/dapps/submit/new and submit the project.

ONT technical analysis

June 24, 2019 Published by

ONT seen from the temporality of 1D we can observe an upward pattern that should conclude with the fifth wave reaching the price range located between 2.16 – 2.23, the bulls have been showing buying power creating this way higher and higher that will end up pushing the price above the resistance located at 1.64.

ONT seen from the temporality of 4H we can observe how the price has broken the resistance in diagonal (indicated in the graph of above in red color) doing its later throwback to test it like support, we can see also more closely the setup of
