1. Steem is still Powering Up - but only just !

The Steem Community is still powering up - but not so much at the lower levels.

The latest stats from @steemchiller show a continued growth in the number of Dolphins, Orcas and Whales over the last 3+ weeks. The Orcas are the best performers with a growth of 10 (3.88%) from 258 to 268.

Minnows however have dropped slightly to 6,196 - we need a big, big push to get more people over the 500 SP level...

Category	SP	15 Sep '21	10 Oct '21	%
Redfish	under 500SP	1,582,462	1,599,499	+ 1.08%
Minnows	500SP - 4,999SP	6,199	6,196	- 0.05%
Dolphins	5,000SP - 49,999SP	1,208	1,210	+ 0.17%

Please also note that in the table above the Steem Power values for each 'sea creature category' are only approximate, as the 'raw data' supplied by @steemchiller is based on Vests not SP.

For example 'Minnows' refer to those people with 1,000,000 - 9,999,999 Vests, and 'Dolphins' refers to those with 10,000,000 - 99,999,999 Vests.
