<h2>Minimum Target of 650,000 Accounts</h2>

In May and June of this year as most of you may be aware we witnessed an explosive growth of new users registering on #Steemit.

Based on this explosive growth continuing, I set a Minimum Target of +650,000 Accounts by the end of the year.

With less than 100 days to go now to the End of Year I am sad to say that this Minimum Target of 650,000 Accounts is looking unlikely to be hit.

As we come to the end of September, we have averaged 1,577 registered new accounts per day in the month.

With 96 days to go to the end of the year, if this average was maintained we would hit no fewer than a total of 538,061.

On other words, should we still wish to hit the Minimum Target of 650,000 we would need to achieve no fewer than an average of 2,743 accounts per day, a figure that has never been achieved on any one day in September.

I for one am gutted that this Target is unlikely to be met and though we are still growing my guess is that we will have to wait until sometime in February 2018 to see this magical number.

Thanks for reading.
