I gathered the data from Steemwhales, and create graphs for you.
As many of you may now, the term Whales exist on Steemit to refer to the people with the more weight on the platform.
The website Steemwhales.com is doing an amazing job by collecting the data and showing to you who are those whales.
But with just number it's hard to see the distribution of those whales.
Here is some graphs I made and comments to help you better understand the Steemit upper side distribution.
All the data included only the first 100 people on the platform classed by estimated value.
Number of posts vs posts rewards distribution
The average number of posts is 77 and the average cumulative posts reward is 9 355 832. Only 12% of the people in the Top 100 are above both of these averages.
Curation rewards vs posts rewards distribution
As you can see in these graph, the distribution is tight. Only one person is far away on the curation rewards, and it is not , for those of you who was wondering.
We can see both strategy are used by the Top 100:
- Posting and get the reward
- Curating and get the reward
If we put a logarithmic scale, we can clearly see that they are both posting and curating.
Estimated value distribution
This present you the estimated value in BTC repartition.
The value is decreasing quickly until the end of the Top 20. Indeed, 89% of the Top 100 estimated value is held by the firsts 20.
Estimated value distribution vs disposable value
This graph presents in orange the disposable value for each user. The amount of Steem and Steem Dollar that he holds. Only 1.4% of the estimated value for the Top 100 is disposable. (They can't dump the price yay!)
Distribution of Steem, Steem Power and Steem Dollars
A lot of Steem Power for not so much Steem and Steem Dollars, that's cool isn't it?
They are here for at least 2 more years!
Congrats to all of you the whales!
Here is the top 5 at the moment of the article:
As some of you asked, here the top 5 for curation rewards:
Ned as the double as dantheman, this is crazy.
And the top 5 for posting rewards:
