The active user count of /cc is climbing after a long down trend.

I've been passively watching the active user count of this sub for quite a while now, and recently it has finally started to increase again.

Maybe it's silly, but I think this is actually a pretty good metric of guaging the overall sentiment/interest in crypto.

Over the past 6 or so months, the numbers seemed to be steadily falling. Late last year around November 2022, I was still seeing over 10,000 active users here regularly.

But over the next ~5 months, the numbers dwindled steadily, and I would seldom see more than 5000 active users in /cc.

More recently, with the BTC rally - the numbers here have started to increase again. I was suprised to see over 12,000 online members at times the past few days.

I think this is a good sign that overall interest in crypto is increasing for the first time in quite a long time.

If you've been in this sub farming Moons the whole bear market, you are one of the real ones. Or, maybe you're just straight up fucking crazy. Either way, hats off to you.

I do know if the market continues to get more bullish, I will miss these quieter times here in /cc. Prepare yourselves for many merciless shitcoin shill posts, hopium overloads, and many more shenanigans to come.
