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. Because of a service disruption on Monday, the numbers on Monday and Tuesday are offset weirdly. Monday's number is artificially high, and Tuesday's is artificially low.

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.

Here are some descriptive statistics, for numbers geeks.

VESTED STEEM

Today's downloaded value was 173,832,901, which is up by about 300K STEEM, or about ¹/₅% 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 over $34 million - remains higher than the December 30, 2022 low of $23,718,335.58. It gained by about $¹/₂ million - or 1 ¹/₂% 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 36 million tokens or about 7 ¹/₃%. Today's number - just shy of 450 million - is about 14 million above the all time low near 436 million. That low was logged on December 30, 2022.

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

Powered-up STEEM gained ground by about 159K SBDs over the last week, which is about 1%.

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

After today's observed value of 39.99% the graph has continued flirting with the 40% line yet again this week. We have now seen 412 consecutive days above 39%; 476 consecutive days above 37%; 603 consecutive days above 35%; and 666 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 advanced by about 16 BTC, or roughly 1 ¹/₃%.

Modeled value of powered-up STEEM in terms of Ethereum

Powered-up STEEM advanced in the last seven days by 199 ETH, or a little over 1%.

Modeled value of powered-up STEEM in terms of LTC

In the last 7 days, powered-up STEEM moved down against LTC by about 43K LTC, which is about 10 ¹/₂%.

Daily Powerdown Activity

Here is graph with data from steemdb.io to show daily completed and pending powerdown activity. The graph shows 329K in completed powerdowns last week and 258K pending (both measured from Sunday through Saturday[GMT time zone]). This represents a potential decrease in powerdowns by about 21 ¹/₂% or more. The completed powerdowns were down markedly from last week's pending number (541K) because at least one large pending powerdown was canceled before execution.

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 777 pending power downs (down from 835 last week), here are the times, dates, and amounts of the top-10
