RE: Given a Billion Steemit Accounts, How Many Minnows Would There Be? How Many Dolphins? How Many Whales?

in #steem7 years ago

The one thing I don't get is why are these numbers for becoming Pl/Re/Mi/Do/Or/Wh always mentioned as static?

I mean, why not just a top-percentage?
Something like this:
Whale above top 0.01%
Orca above top 1%
Dolphin above top 10%
Minnow above top 50%
Red fish above top 80%
Plankton bottom 20%

This means all groups can grow bigger...
A minnow with 500SP will be a dolphin in the future with the same 500SP! Just like a Dolphin with 5.000SP will be an Orca in the future with 5.000SP! Etc. Etc.

Sort:  

Sure, if definitions change, the amount of SP/Vests needed to be considered X would be different. Just like a government could say anyone making more than X quatloos now classifies as wealthy.

But my premise is that 1MVest minnows will be elite, 10MVest dolphins will be wealthy, 100MVest orcas {{{hush}}} will be staggeringly rich, and 1000MVest whales will be Bill Gates.

Right now, today, minnows are already the top 1%.

Hmmm.... In keeping with the Powers of Ten theme, maybe at some point we’ll need a term for those who have 100,000 Vests (currently 49 SP) or even 10,000 Vests.
