Yesterday marked a very sad day in the history of the Steem blockchain :-(

Coindesk wrote an article about [why the whole crypto community should care about Justin Sun’s Steem drama.](https://www.coindesk.com/why-crypto-should-care-about-justin-suns-steem-drama). It's a good read.

@gerbino, @andrarchy and @vandeberg resigned from Steemit Inc. So sad to see them leave, but very understandable. Respect for their hard decision.

Justin Sun [tweeted](https://twitter.com/justinsuntron/status/1234690483298820097) a few hours ago that *he has successfully defeated the ~~witnesses~~ hackers and the Steemit community is now stronger than ever since we united & solved the difficulties!*
What a lie! There were no hackers. He has set the witnesses aside, who run this awesome blockchain for years, and calls them hackers. OMG, unbelievable!

I know we all hate this whole situation, but let's not lose our faith in our community! Steemit is not Steem. I'm convinced we will regain control over our blockchain, one way or another. The future is decentralized! That's why I'm here.

## 3. Daily accounts transacting
![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdVWmZpt9qfSajKskPGm37AbewcQ8riwWPYCeoGVNPYBE/image.png)

<sub>A 'transacting account' is a Steem account that made at least one transaction on the Steem blockchain. This can be a vote, post, comment, transfer, power up or sbd conversion. Users who only read from the Steem blockchain without interacting are not included. The actual number of 'Active users' is therefore much higher than the accounts transacting.</sub>
