What? BitClout is growing faster than Facebook?
I quickly researched the early days' user growth of Facebook and BitClout.
Facebook:
- launched in October 2003
- hit 1M registered users in December 2004
(after 14 months)
BitClout:
- launched in March 2021
- today has 280k users
(after 3 months)
With a simple linear proportion, we can tell that it's going to reach 1M registered users in ~12 months from the launch (~March 2022).
~20% faster than Facebook.
Just curious to hear your thoughts on this.
- qualudeheart 5y agoDo you have more evidence it will keep growing at that rate?
- matteomosca 5y agogrowth is pretty stable, stats: https://www.prosperclout.com/stats/2021-06-15 https://www.prosperclout.com/stats/2021-06-15
- warrenm 5y agoIn 2003, much of the US (let alone the world) was still running on dial-up In 2021 over half the world is running a smartphone of come kind - ie, they have high-speed data Word-of-mouth (literally) and early restrictions on thefacebook[dot]com meant you had to have a .edu email address to join (and initially it was limited to Zuckerburg's own university - even having a .edu didn't guarantee access ...your school had to have already been added as a valid domain) Kinda like saying a Tesla is faster than a Model A Duh
