I'm glad your on here surfyogi! I hope that one day I have as much Steem to influence and make positive changes however I can. I do what I can with my small stake though.

If you want to see stats go look at penguin pablo's post. He should be still doing steemstats, you might have to scroll through to see his olders posts, but they should reflect the total number of accounts and also show the new accounts per day and etc. It has per day stats, not per minute though. there are 1440 minutes in a day though so you could divide them out.

My first couple days on Steemit I seen a kid from Africa who was making more than his teacher at school, just from posting on Steemit and being here. Someone in California might not be able to survive off 10$ worth of upvotes today, but in other places.. its life changing. That was a powerful thing for me to see on here!

I would like to write a daily type of post like that, I also feel it would help me clear my head, as well as hone my writing skills. I get caught up hearing words on here like adding value, reward pool rape, etc.. It makes me wonder if I shouldn't do that because it's not 'adding value', though adding value is completely perspective based. If one person read what I said and learned from it, that's adding value really.

It was good to hear Ned reply to my recent comments to him.. He said he is ready for the competition. Thats what I wanted to hear. He also said he thinks HiveMind and SMT's are ahead of the game, even ahead of EOS. That was good to hear.

Anything I can do to help you on your journey, to help fulfill your vision. Let me know because that's a club of people I would like to support and be a part of. You are appreciated surfyogi!
