Steem supply exactly one year ago: 277,601,568 STEEM
Current Steem supply: 326,376,868 STEEM
Difference: 48,775,300 STEEM
Inflation last 365 days: 17,6%.
Pretty high, but mostly due to the SBD conversions, as you explained. The current inflation is much lower.
Thanks for confirming!
Wow, even being here for 3 years I didn't realize the real result of the inflation caused by SBD conversions. I mainly took everything as the current inflation is 8.59% but 2+% of that is going back to STEEM Power holders which is still higher than the inflation rates of Bitcoin, Litecoin, Monero, EOS at the moment. I didn't realize that the STEEM inflation was effectively 17.6% for the last 365 days!!!!! This is honestly way worse than I thought the situation was. Yikes
