Summary: The video above explains that Gemini enjoys steady and consistent growth; ever since its inception back in 2019 the adoption of the protocol by both users and developers (who are also users) showed growing promise

THE Gemini Protocol is not "growing" in the bloat sense; that would be against the very principle of Gemini. But it is certainly growing in the userbase sense and more so it is growing in the development "share". A lot of software is now available for Gemini, including server daemons and clients/browsers.



If Gemini keeps growing at this pace, there may be 4,000+ capsules by the end of 2023. With some extra boost from the "media" (what's still left of it) maybe even 5,000 or more.
