Last week Korea took the top spot according to Hypestat. Now the USA has dropped another place as India moves up. Canada are currently fourth, but a long way behind. I have some concerns about these numbers from Alexa as big Steem using countries like UK, Japan, Germany and Spain still are missing. In any case Steemit is ranking much lower than at the start of this year. It is still the biggest Steem site by far.
The Steem price is not doing much either. This story on Exchange Rates includes it in a run-down on how much you could gain on various cryptocurrencies if you invest now and they return to their all time high values. They seem quite dismissive of Steem as it is 'horribly implemented'. Okay, so the price has dropped, but people are still earning more than they could elsewhere just from blogging. I had a look at the new community features and that looked to have great potential. I think it has gone back to closed beta, but I hope it will go public soon. We are gaining some good users and others are returning. We may see a lull as things shut down over Christmas, but it is looking good for the start of 2020.
Steem on!
