1 million VESTS is at 500.833 STEEM

A little heads up: 1 million VESTS is currently at 500.833 STEEM which means it now broke through 500 STEEM barrier.

When describing the relation VESTS and steem power then most users just round 1 million VESTS to 500 STEEM which is close enough: In the past it was a little below 500 STEEM but this has now changed. Now it's a little above 500 STEEM.

This means 500 steam power is less than one million VESTS and buying a 500 steam power will not make you a minnow any more. You have to buy a little extra.
