Steem Total Value Powered Up - $34 million - May 14, 2023

This is next in my series of posts reviewing the amount and value of powered up STEEM on the Steem blockchain. For previous posts, see the end of this entry.

Noteworthy in the last week

Week over week, the number of powered up STEEM decreased by about 76 thousand SP, or 0.04%.
Over the course of the week, we saw five daily increases and two new highs in the number of staked STEEM.
The modeled value of powered-up (staked) STEEM lost ground against all comparison values, except for SBDs.
Changes ranged from -9 ³/₄% against USD to +2 ¹/₃% against SBD.
Compared to the January 1, 2023 baseline, the modeled value is higher than all comparison tokens, except for BTC and ETH.
This week's completed powerdowns were reported at 848K, which is an increase of about 76% from last week's 480K.
We saw 2,496 new accounts created, with net migrations of one additional orca account, four fewer dolphins, five additional minnows, and two fewer redfish.

Here are the numbers as-of a few minutes ago

Total value locked in powered-up STEEM (USD): $33,627,575.88
External STEEM market cap (coingecko) $84,110,451.40

And here are the charts, based on data collected daily since April 10, 2021.

This slide (new after April 16) takes its data from steemchiller's SDS getVestingStats API call.

There was a noticeable increase in new accounts during the last couple of days.

Daily Changes

Here is a chart of daily changes in powered-up STEEM from April 11, 2021 to present. The graph also includes a linear trend line and a 28 day moving average. The 28-day average has continued drifting back towards the zero line.

Here are some descriptive statistics, for numbers geeks.

VESTED STEEM

Today's downloaded value was 173,503,888, which is down by about 76K STEEM, or about ¹/₂₀% from last week's observed value. The graph has remained almost flat.

Modeled value of powered-up STEEM in terms of USD

In terms of USD, today's value at download time - slightly under $34 million - remains higher than the December 30, 2022 low of $23,718,335.58. It decreased by about $3.6 million - or 9 ³/₄% from last week's value.

Modeled value of powered-up STEEM in terms of Tron (TRX)

Powered-up STEEM moved lower against TRX by about 47 million tokens or almost 9%.

Modeled value of powered-up STEEM in terms of Steem Dollars

Powered-up STEEM gained ground by about 338K SBDs over the last week, which is about 2 ¹/₃%.

Modeled value of powered-up STEEM as a percentage of Steem's market cap

After today's observed value of 40.00% the graph has been flirting with the 40% line again this week. We have now seen 4 straight days above 40%; 405 consecutive days above 39%; 469 consecutive days above 37%; 596 consecutive days above 35%; and 659 straight days above ¹/₃.

^{*As previously reported, the big drop on December 4, 2022 was due to a correction in the value that Coingecko is getting for its circulating supply. Numbers before December 4, 2022 were based on an artificially low supply measurement.}

Modeled value of powered-up STEEM in terms of bitcoin (BTC)

Powered-up STEEM declined by about 32 BTC, or roughly 2 ¹/₂%.

Modeled value of powered-up STEEM in terms of Ethereum

Powered-up STEEM declined in the last seven days by 765 ETH, or a little under 4%.

Modeled value of powered-up STEEM in terms of LTC

In the last 7 days, powered-up STEEM moved down against LTC by about 31K LTC, which is about 7%.

Daily Powerdown Activity

Here is graph with data from steemdb.io to show daily completed and pending powerdown activity. The graph shows 848K in completed powerdowns last week and 541K pending (both measured from Sunday through Saturday[GMT time zone]). This represents a potential decrease in powerdowns by about 31% or more.

(Looks like I had a typo or data error in last week's report. I typed 655K pending, but it should have been 855K. Now fixed.)

The horizontal lines are the average values for completed (blue) and pending (cyan) powerdowns, and the yellow line is a 28 day moving average of completed powerdowns. "Pending" numbers now come from the Steemit API, not from steemdb.io.

Here are some descriptive statistics for the numbers geeks

And with a total of 835 pending power downs (down from 951 last week), here are the times, dates, and amounts of the top-10

I also noticed that the number of new accounts on the site has increased, as can be seen from your first visualization in a new format recently.

In recent weeks the amount of constant power up is something good for the platform, although the price is not reflected. But that has prevented the price of steem from collapsing.

this week's steem buff is down compared to last week. It's the lowest percentage I've ever seen.
