Just look at this info from the CoinMarketCap:
| Date | All Cryptos Market Cap | BTC Market Cap | Steem |
|---|---|---|---|
| January 1st, 2017 | $17,700,314,429 | $15,482,057,104 | $0.17 |
| July 30th, 2017 | $88,658,230,462 | $44,316,019,078 | $1.24 |
| August 29th, 2017 | $157,603,947,921 | $71,352,499,103 | $1.50 |

Japanese financial information firm Fisco announced it is experimenting with the bond that has a three percent annual interest rate and returns bitcoins when it matures. The total worth of the bond was 200 bitcoin, or $900,000 at the prices on August 18th.
If you can't, just look at this episode of “Keiser Report”:
Let's go back now to our platform comparison to the biggest. In the Summer months there was a bit of weaker activity (who's going to write on vacation?), and the daily transactions steady around 700,000 — everyone was spending hard earned SBD's at Steemit 😊.
