A small step for HIVE, but a big step for humankind!
After the hardfork that created HIVE, we had like 1.3 Million user accounts. This has now been growing to 1.5 Million thanks to various efforts of witnesses to make the onboarding process as quickly, easily and painless a possible... Huge thanks to anyone involved with the signups of new HIVERS and the landing page.
After hardfork 23, the user growth tanked really hard. Adding 50-100 new user accounts per day was the norm.
However, more recently we had again a few days of 2000-5500 new users in one day signing up!!! The onboarding process is speeding up again, especially because of our Splinterlands team creating one success story after another for months now! Blockchain gaming has been really picking up steam lately...
I am happy that the motto is not pay-to-win anymore, but play-to-earn! That is such a strong concept and we are still in infant stages. A lot more to come. If you think you missed the boat on blockchain-gaming play-to-earn model, you are wrong. We are very early and have the early movers advantage.

I like the huge number of accountable users in the blockchain.
But may I ask you a question?
Does the number really mean that all the accounts are active or just the total number of created accounts?
I can tell that some users who's accounts were transferred during the snapshot have never logged in to hive.blog for once.
You are right. This is just accounts created, not active acounts.
But it does not matter... The first Million took us 4 years... The next 500k only 1 year. We can see the progress and if we steadily increase the accounts from 1.5 to 3 Million for example, those 50k active users will become 150k-200k easily.
It is not a problem that most of the old (steemit created) accounts will never return. We only need new accounts which are willing to play blockchain games or enjoy what we have created here. We don't look back...
Btw, we have created 7000 accounts since I wrote this post. 😄
Hahahaha.
Lol.
Am glad that you're able to honestly answer my question.
Lol.
You're watching the data like a football game.
Hahahaha. We're getting bigger every minute.
That's all I care for right now.
Have a wonderful weekend
Thanks! Have a nice weekend, too.
Okay dear
This is very good news..😀 I have been powering up the last few weeks, looks like it was the right thing to do...Looking forward to participating in, and supporting projects to come...😀
Have you watched your wallet today? HIVE is up 50% 😁
Yes..!!..😀 Fantastic feeling...
Hoping it will last, and not blow over like previous pumps...But this time, with growing user numbers, and the Splinterlands frenzy, demand for Hive has gotten bigger....
Do not worry. As soon as the majority start massive selling, its price will go down again. That is what they used to do. As soon as the price moves up a bit, most of the users start massive selling. At least they have done this so far. Maybe this will change nowadays.
From that 1 500 000 users, nowadays the number of the monthly average users is barely above 50 000, and it was even worse in the recent past. The user retention is/was a huge problem so far. Hopefully this will change for the better with the increasing popularity of Splinterlands and the play-to-earn concept.
