STEEM and SBD claimed the number 1 and number 2 spots for Public interest a couple of weeks ago, after I persuaded CoinGecko to fix their alexa ranking. They have held onto these positions strongly. Indeed the ever improving alexa ranking of steemit.com means the platform is getting stronger and stronger on this metric.

I also asked them to correct the twitter and reddit metrics. The twitter metric was updated a while back, giving STEEM and SBD further improved rankings in CoinGecko's chart, however I noted at the time that the reddit data was still missing for STEEM. It is still missing, so I've written a new email to coingecko, reminding them to fix it.

Why is this important?

Steem should have a much stronger community ranking. The score for Steem Dollars shows us what the score for Steem would be if the figures were corrected, as they should be identical. 49 instead of 19 makes a huge difference. Steem Dollars are currently ranked 16th for Community against all cryptocurrencies. Steem, with a score of just 19, is only ranked 225th! That is on the third page of the chart! We deserve better. If the stats are fixed Steem will climb 205 places instantly for that metric.

This should also affect Steem's overall ranking. Currently ranked 22nd overall, fixing the reddit data would, by my estimation, see STEEM leapfrog into the top ten overall crypto currencies on CoinGecko's chart. This should greatly increase confidence in the coin and the steem platform in the wider crypto community. This can only improve STEEMs value.

If you want to help give CoinGecko a reminder to fix this data, you can email them at [email protected].
