They still don't require anything more than an email address for either. Given the communities willingness to artificially inflate[1] any metric they can find.

Given the communities willingness to artificially inflate[1] any metric they can find. I have no faith those numbers are anywhere near real. When they release MAU figures I'll be impressed.
[1] reddit.com/r/bitcoin/about/traffic check out the new user subscriptions chart for an idea of what happens when someone shuts off/turns down their bot(It's less easy to see now but new subscriptions were constantly around 250-300 and then they dropped to ~100 overnight)
- ikeboy 11y agoYou need to verify phone to actually do much. Does an account that never did anything count?
- sanswork 11y agoGiven the whole point of the numbers is vanity and not an accurate representation of usage I would guess it would.
- ikeboy 11y agoWhy don't you just accuse them of making up the numbers, then?
- sanswork 11y agoI don't think they did make the numbers up. I just think they are useless and chosen because they will always look good. AFAIK Coinbase hasn't been caught faking numbers like Bitpay so as far as I'm concerned the numbers are real but useless as a metric.
