Thee Steem blockchain has completed an average 855,579 Transaction's per day, over the past 7 days beating every other blockchain out there.
For example, today, ETH has 829,913 Transactions, it's at 100% capacity and has over 14,000 unconfirmed transactions.
BUT, the Steem blockchain has done 806,094 transactions over the last 24 hours and is at 0.28 capacity
All this information is verifiable at http://blocktivity.info/
No Kitties could slow down the Steem blockchain.
I believe it's time people seriously consider the technology behind the Steem blockchain and DPOS.
