RE: Can Steemit Scale? Will Rival Platforms Appear?

in #steemit7 years ago

I think you’re asking the wrong question. Steemit is really just an application running on the Steem blockchain. So the real question is can the Steem blockchain scale?

Take a look at http://www.blocktivity.info

The Steem blockchain is already running circles around other blockchains. And doing so running at far less than 1% of its current capacity, let alone any capacity that might be added in the future.

Fair point Sir! So you believe the steem blockchain will handle a much larger adoption well?

It was designed to handle massive amounts of transactions. I think it was @overkillcoin who designed this graphic that puts it into perspective:
