Just [15 days ago](https://john.do/bitcoin-pub/) I shared a new [Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency community site](http://thebitcoin.pub/) that my brother was putting together and it’s been an insane 15 days.

The first day that the site was live it saw a grand total of **796 pageviews** – not bad, not bad, right? I was impressed but I wasn’t even remotely prepared for what was to come.

You see, the next day the site didn’t see double the number of pageviews or even triple. It didn’t see 5 or even 10X. The very next day the community site clocked in nearly **60,000 pageviews** (59,575 to be exact).

And it didn’t stop. In fact, in just a few days the community site will cross **1,000,000 pageviews** … … … … one… freakin’… million… pageviews…

Now, I’ve had the pleasure of being part of many online communities and have built a few of them myself and I have never been a part of a community that has grown with this much speed and velocity.

**And it’s all because a system like Discourse existed…!!**

_The Dogelord._

And the momentum is only building…!

It’s still a bit early to know where my brother will take his [fast-growing community](http://thebitcoin.pub/) (powered by his incredibly [fast-growing YouTube Channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnePINazJJpbn9FWaq_skQA)) but it’s very, very clear that he’s struck an obvious tap-root in two markets that are growing at breakneck speeds (e.g. video and bitcoin/cryptocurrency).

But without Discourse we wouldn’t have been able to pull it off over at [THE BITCOIN PUB](http://thebitcoin.pub/) and I’m so grateful for the software, the team behind it, and the continued support of the larger Discourse community.

This isn’t the first time I’ve put together a Discourse install but it’s the first time where the community is actually _working_, if that makes sense.

So… much… ❤!
