Whale Redistribution of Wealth -- "LOOKING FOR WHALE LOVE" -- By The Numbers

in #steemit8 years ago

Where's My Piece of The Pie?

I am posting the last 30 days of numbers showing the Steemit Stake held by each group. It is still very early in the life of STEEMIT.COM, and many changes have occurred in the last month. At this point, in my opinion, it is still too soon to really see Wealth Re-distribution happening. The numbers do show it happening, although it might not be fast enough for some.

Pie Chart for 7/25/16

The Dust group stake stood that same in the last 30 days. Grouping Newbies and Users as Minnows, we now see the Minnow stake 1.17 % of the STEEMIT STAKE and Dolphins (Superusers & Heros) with 11.56%. The Whales (which to me include the SuperHeroes & Legends) Lowered their Stake Holding to a total of 87.27% of the STEEMIT STAKE.

We can reasonably state that the Minnows have not Powered down and cashed out their stake (it's too soon and not enough for most). We can also state that part of the reason the Minnow Stake grew is because the @steemit account funds all new accounts with some Steem Power and there are many new users that have signed up in the last 30 days. The Minnow Stake grew by about 27% going from .92% to 1.17%.

The Dolphins' Steemit Stake grew by 10% in the last 30 days. The Dolphin Stake went from about 10.54% to 11.56%. It is also reasonable to assume that most Dolphins have not Powered Down and cashed out either. I believe, if anything, that the Dolphin stake has grown due to their Authoring and Curating, and quite possibly because they have Invested and Purchased Steem and/or Steem Power.

When watching Whales on Cable or TV, they always seem to move slow and meander methodically. I imagine, for the scuba diver next it, that must not be the case. So to here on the STEEMIT Ocean for most of us, watching the Whales from afar, they seem to me moving slow. Yet for those that happen to get up voted by the Whales, then they get to feel the velocity of a Whale Up Vote, up close and personal.

The numbers suggest to me one Very Important thing for the Minnows. FIND THE DOLPHIN PODS minnows. Their Stake and Population is growing quickly. An Up Vote from a Dolphin could be the push your story needs to find its way to the Whales.

Very realistic and unbiased analysis and opinion, I think.

The Dolphins' Steemit Stake grew by 10% in the last 30 days. The Dolphin Stake went from about 10.54% to 11.56%.

10% rise sounds good till you realise that the needle has barely moved. A 1% increase in dolphins is minuscule given how many new users have joined in the last month

@candy49 Remember though, it happened in 30 days. And also, STEEMIT.COM is in its infancy in terms of the life of a website/business. Don't think 30 days, think 300 days from now.

Come on @bullionstackers You were never a plankton (those are Dust accounts which start with 0 Steem Power.) And look at you now, you have gained some weight and are a healthy minnow. Thanks for the support and

Well most whales are powering down right now, but it takes a long time until the power is diluted, the 1% weekly is very slow, we should wait 6 months until we see a more egalitarian distribution.

@profitgenerator When you think about it though, most accounts that sign-up get Rewarded right away. The hard part comes in continuing to generate STEEM. As a minnow you should be selective with your up votes, and when doing so, commenting and replying within those articles is where you will receive more rewards than by simply voting. Post articles, Great articles, is where you generate the most but is also the hardest in my opinion.

Well the 5$ of SP is not that much, and we have only 70+ thousands account so far, so it's not that big user growth.

So in my opinion inequality will drop when the power-down will pass 5-6 more rounds (weeks for every account). So lets wait at least 2-3 more months and see how it progresses, I think its too early to tell now.

I agree @profitgenerator that it is early in the travels of these uncharted waters.

Interesting, thanks for the article!

@peter-parker Thanks. Check out My Blog, I have some other interesting Stuff.

My STEEM has definitely grown since your up vote @streetstyle. Even a payout! So to anyone reading this..I will vouch for this in the article.
I do still wonder what type of story attracts a dolphin to up vote though?

Minnows don't realize that without STEEM POWER their voting should be more selective. Reserve it for those post that you think deserve it but also that you will comment and reply to. Commenting and replying is where Minnows will truly get paid. Yes, if you bust out a blow out article with Whale up votes, then you too will get huge rewards, but that is not easy. I do see newbies though from newbies to Dolphins very fast. The Whales are voting, and the rest of us follow.
As for what exactly they like.... all I can say is it has to be good, unique, creative, inspiring and informational. It doesn't have to have all of these qualities, but it should have as many as possible. Then, if there are any friendlies like me, you can tell me you created a post or ask me to check it out. SOME though take offense, so be careful and/or always ask before posting a link. With me it's ok, but from personal experience, I know it's not for others. Anyway, good luck, thanks for the support and
