**The number of Steemit users has surely been growing, so I thought I would answer the question of: How many total Steemit users are there? Also, how many are *active users*.**

# Total Number of Accounts: 171,515
## Number of accounts active in past 30 days: 26,148
## Number of accounts active in past 7 days: 13,295
## Number of accounts active in past 24 hours: 6,269
## Number of accounts active in past 12 hours: 4,805

### It would seem that almost 150,000 users have up and left Steemit, since about 145,000 haven't been active in the past 30 days. My question is, why?
