Hello, steemians. I continue my story about Golos. For those who don't know - Golos it is a fork of Steemit occurred in 2016. It has become a starting point for a separate trip of the Russian-speaking community.

In a new part of my story, I want to share some interesting statistics from respected @arcange.

For many, statistics are boring. However, in the context of comparing the two platforms, they are indispensable for analyzing the situation. Of course, the figures can not tell the story of what is happening on their own, but strong deviations will show the points of change in the situation. So, all data will go in the following order-first Steemit, second Golos.

It's amazing how similar the graphics of the platforms are. Only the number of users is ten times different. Golos was unable to make the transition to the linear function in time and lost more than a year. Will it be possible to catch up with missed opportunities? Big question. However, the growth potential is fascinating. New opportunities and growth of an active community will allow the whole ecosystem to develop. The time of crisis and stagnation will be overcome.
