PenguinPablo just answered a question I have been wondering for months, how much liquid steem is on exchanges, answer is 49 million! + New Steem/USDT Pair on Huobi is almost 20% of Steem's Trading Volume, but only quarter million dollars in 24hr volume.

I must bring everyone of my followers attention to this post by Hive account@penguinpablo about how around 49 million steem is available on exchanges to buy while 78 million steem is liquid out of the approx 269 Million total steem.

So the majority is powered up, around 28% is liquid or not staked/ not powered up... so if we keep powering up that steem we can lower the total supply and then when anyone wants to buy a large amount of steem theyll have to spend a LARGE amount on it. Hive account@ned Hive account@freedom Hive account@dan and other large accounts like Hive account@steem Hive account@steemit do have a large portion of that approx 29 million steem that is liquid and not powered up but NOT on exchanges, while the 49 million on exchanges I believe is also counting the dozen or so Steem that is STUCK on the Hive account@poloniex wallet which I suppose is ok and equates to some sort of power up that can't effect the reward pool, frozen steem is not very liquid steem ::) But it does suck because you never know when theyll unfreeze their shit and fix their own steem blockchain wallets and unleash over a dozen million steem onto the market, kinda like an unpredictable wild card and almost no one wants that so hopefully poloniex gets their shit together in one big backpack.

ANYWAY the point was that if we keep powering up all the steem we can pushg the price up as long as we create more demand or as long as demand exists and I believe people will WANT to buy large amounts of steem in the millions of steem, in order to make money passively selling votes, leasing SP or just self voting to promote their own brands. I feel like the positions of being a steem whale are limited down to a finite number we can actually solve for. I assume that with around 40 million steem available on exchanges there would be only 40 spots to become a Hive account@booster level passive income pro (but youd need to buy 700,000+ steem at 7 cents to catch up with booster ;) ) So just 40 spots open to be the next Hive account@buildawhale ?
