Top 200 SPS Stakeholders
I look at this data all the time for multiple reasons:
- To check overall health of the community
- To check where I am with respect to the community
- To check if there is a major movement in the stakeholding pattern
- To check if the top stakeholders are participating in the hive ecosystem
The last bit, has always been sketchy, but it matters not I continue to try and show people the way. The last time I looked into this was during last September. The post is here. Now I have better access to data and can dive into more details.
Below is the basic plot that I think gives a good indication of a players assets along 3 dimensions.
- Total SPS (Staked + Liquid)
- Collection Power (a measure of card holding)
- DEC + DEC-B (a measure of liquid assets ready to purchase additional game assets)
Please note, the DEC doesn't include the DEC staked on Land, nor does it include DEC invested in various liquidity pools. Also, I have excluded sps.dao's assets from this plot.
Lots of people like to call this chart 'constellations', and the common statement is if we are planets, Vugtis is the Sun! Well you be the judge of that! Vugtis does have the highest staked SPS and Card collection, and he is holding nearly 50M DEC liquid, ready to buy in-game assets. I always say this to the team, if an investor wants to buy something we should always have things available to buy, directly on the shelf. So far the team is not successful to deliver on this all the time.
The two other large liquid DEC holders are cryp71x and yabapmatt, 42M and 15M respectively, and then it falls rather quickly.
So the point of the chart above is when it comes to holding of liquid DEC, it is fairly slim pickings! That could be a good thing
- If there are desirable items on the shelf, people will need to buy DEC to buy those items
- Buying DEC is a positive pressure on the DEC Flywheel
What about the Hive Holdings?
This following chart is an interesting one to me. It plots Hive HP along the X-axis vs. Total SPS along the Y-axis. The size of the circle represents a persons hive reputation (the number). I am using this chart as a measure of Splinterlands's players influence on the hive blockchain.
So what is the conclusion? How much influence does the top SPS stakeholders have on the hive blockchain? It is based on their HP. What is the answer? Not much!
But who are the people who does have some influence on the hive blockchain? You should look at both our placement along the X-axis and the size of the circle (which is a measure of how much we post and interact)
Myself, Yabapmatt, Neoxian, Tarazkp, Slobberchops, Lordbutterfly, Jarvie.... that is about it, it is very slim picking.
I say if you like to have a say in the hive governance, get some stake, get at least 100K HP. More the better, otherwise, we don't have a say in the governance of the chain, not by much. That is the truth.
Lately hive has outperformed all splinterlands assets by a factor of 3 to 4 depending on your time frame. If this is not an wake up call for you guys, I don't know what is.
Over 700k SPS, but honestly.. I wish it was zero. I rent it out now at the lowest of prices due to no demand. Even 0.002 would be better.
We have to wait it out. Look at Vugtis or Bravetofu:)
wait it out... I know.
Would be interesting to see a frequency distribution chart of SPS holders to see where the bulk of users are. Can be compared against a chart of active players, as some are coming from SPS rentals.
Several commenters thought they are big SPS holders (i.e. 400k) until you showed the top 200. I'm just a 100k+ SPS holder playing mostly in Gold.
Yes. I want to see that plot myself. All I need is a list.
Dang, I thought sure I would be in the top 200, but if 500K is the bottom cut off, I am nowhere close. I always considered myself to have a pretty hefty stack of SPS. That's honestly kind of depressing.
Currently it is 683K at the bottom of top 200. :)
Yeah wow, I am not even close and I have been playing and stacking since the beginning. Crazy! I guess I should have known better than to think I was a "big dog".
Current low prices 100K SPS is relatively cheap if you are paying it with hive
Yeah, I guess so. I didn't buy any, all of mine is earned from staking and the LPs. That makes sense.
I keep looking for my name but don't have enough $SPS or $HIVE.
I can't keep from buying more cards, though. I'm here to game first and foremost, and the economy stuff has always been second for me.
I saw you got a Heloise you bad mofo you!!
Once I started playing against it more often in Champion League and tournaments, I knew I would need one. I was able to buy a bunch of DEC at a nice 28% discount, so I decided to pull the trigger on Heloise. Today's BOTD will feature her!
Sick dude!
I love it :)
Base of the SPS 200 is 683K right now.
Dang... I still got a ways to go!
Wow I knew Vugtis was huge holder, but this chart really helps it visualize well.
Also 500k'ish SPS to get into Top 200, that's a nice goal to set, even though I'm miles away.
683K SPS is the bottom of top 200 now. The axis is in log scale :)
Wow, there are some famous names in the tables..
Thanks for sharing the stats, they are really interesting!
That’s a Gengar, eh?
Yes, on off the coolest pokemon in my opinion. 😎
At 430K+ SPS I also didn't make it into the top 200! I am actually at 349th place for Staked SPS and
And even lower for total SPS:
Yeah currently base of 200 is 683K approximately last I checked. So gives you a target. Lots to do! Lots of targets.
Wow Vugtis he is the center of our solar system!
Yes, and I didn't include his land assets
I live in a state on kinda sorta regret. On one hand, I moved out of some of my Hive a couple of years back to get my Land Tracts. So I’m grateful for that situation as I’ve positioned myself well if Land sees success.
On the other hand, if I would have simply held my Hive, I’d have a much greater say in proposals here and could have helped curate a lot more.
It’s the only time I’ve powered down & moved Hive and I’ll never do it again. My goal now is to grow it back. Slowly but surely.
I need to devote some time to Hive soon. Straighten up my following feed, remove auto votes that were installed years back, and just tweak my usage here a bit. I love what Hive offers and I used to take advantage of it daily. Trying to get backing that groove.
VoNaK friend.
Yeah, I can understand. You got a double whammy :)
Hive went up 3X, and your SL assets went down :)
We all make mistakes, no big deal.
I'm so close AZ... I just don't feel like emptying my LP just to make the cutoff lol :P
In due time it will happen for sure
I feel like a dot in SPL compared to these guys. Guess more work to be done. Vonak !BBH
BBH is not needed
