What? BitClout is growing faster than Facebook?

In 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

Facebook started with US universities, you had to have a .edu email address if I recall correctly. Early 2005 it added UK universities. So it's not like the whole world was even able to signup.
Do you have more evidence it will keep growing at that rate?
growth is pretty stable, stats: https://www.prosperclout.com/stats/2021-06-15
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.
