In the post, he said there are 3.65M accounts on steem, and I was surprised to see that. I did the verification:

$ curl -s --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0", "method":"condenser_api.get_account_count", "params":[], "id":1}' https://api.steemit.com | jq
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"result": 3657274,
"id": 1
}

However, other nodes return 1.93M:

According to ranking table, 1.93M is more convincing.
