At what time of the day are the most Steemians online?

I wondered at what time of the day the most people are online here on Steemit.com, so I digged into the Steem blockchain data to figure it out. Here is the result. All data is based on USA Eastern Time. If you live in Europe you can add 5 hours for Central European Time (CET).

I hope this is helpful. I think the best time to post is when more people are online. On the other hand, one could also argue that your post becomes more visible when fewer articles are posted shortly after your article. Let me know your thoughts on this...
