Well, of course they can, but it's a nice headline. I keep watching the visitor numbers for Steemit on Hypestat and it just passed this milestone. The Alexa rank should drop below 9000 by tomorrow. This is the highest I've seen it.
It was ranked around 9000 last October before dropping, but it's been a steady climb up the charts lately.
In various countries it will be in the top 2000 now or soon.
I do have concerns about sign-ups. The number per day seems fairly erratic. If they can keep it in the thousands per day then we will see massive growth, but it looks like some people are still waiting days for their account to be validated. Chart from Steemdata.
Of course the healthy Steem price is helping to attract attention. I worried that it was getting boosted too much and would fall again, but it's staying high for now. I suggest people keep on powering up for now to gain influence. Maybe keep some of the SBD you get liquid to sell off or buy stuff if you like. Steem Dollars are worth about US$2!
It's all looking good for now. Keep on Steeming on!
