Burned tokens, rewards, and inflation summary October 8, 2022 - Total burn estimates: 121,925K STEEM/SP and 61 SBD
Steemit launched the #burnsteem25 initiative on May 22, and the corresponding rewards started being delivered to @null on May 29. Subsequently, on August 9, Steemit announced that they'd be monitoring post promotions daily. Here is the next weekly update with PowerBI charts to visualize the burned token-related statistics since those dates.
Slide 1: Burn amounts in beneficiary rewards and transfers to @null.
Weekly totals were about 7,774 STEEM/SP and 0.31 SBD.
| Sidebars |
|---|
Top sidebar summary cards show total number of STEEM, SP, and VESTS burned, as well as the total number of posts with @null beneficiary settings. This is where the headline number comes from.
In the center-left sidebar is a new table showing the top-4 days in terms of burned beneficiary rewards.
Bottom-left sidebar summary cards show totals for SBD burned in post promotion.
| Graphs |
|---|
Top-left is a graph showing the number of posts and average SP burned per post by month.
Top-right: This shows the VESTS and the estimated SP beneficiary rewards burned per month.
Middle-left: This is a graph showing the number of posts and average SP burned per post, by day.
Middle-right: This shows the daily VESTS and the estimated SP beneficiary rewards that have been burned.
In all of the above graphs, VESTS are shown against the left axis, SP and STEEM are shown against the right.
Bottom: SBD transfers to @null. As readers are likely aware, SBD transfers to @null can get a post added to the /promoted page. The visualization on the left shows a monthly aggregation of SBDs transferred and a count of unique senders. The visualization on the right shows the daily record.
Slide 2: Rewards summary
Unchanged from last four weeks is that SBD printing has remained paused, due to the continuing sluggishness in the price of STEEM (and crypto markets at large). With the present SBD supply, it looks like the median on-chain price for STEEM needs to get back to about $0.252 for SBDs to start printing again.
Curator rewards use the scale on the right, author and beneficiary rewards use the scale on the left. Thus, curation rewards appear to be scaled down relative to author & beneficiary rewards. Beneficiary rewards for @null in this chart (red) have been adjusted in order to account for both SP and liquid rewards. The top graph shows the monthly aggregations, and the bottom graph shows daily totals.
The new top-left sidebar shows estimates for the 90-day total of distributed "social rewards" (author, curator, and beneficiary), the 90-day total of curation rewards; and the 90-day total of burned beneficiary rewards.
The new bottom-left sidebar shows estimated daily 90-day averages for the same three values. In both sidebars, "social rewards" are calculated as [curation rewards] * 2. Based on these estimates, the burn rate is about 1.9% of all social rewards (this excludes interest paid for staking, rewards to witnesses, and SBDs to the SPS).
Slide 3: STEEM & SBD Supply as well as vested (i.e. staked or "powered up") STEEM
Noteworthy this week is that liquid STEEM as a percentage of current supply and of virtual supply changed directions. After two weeks of declines, it started increasing again this week (top-right and bottom-left charts).
The top-left image provides a summary view of current and virtual STEEM supply, current SBD supply, liquid and vested STEEM, and the amount of STEEM reserved as collateral for paying off SBDs.
| Note |
|---|
Collateralized STEEM and current SBD supply actually represent the same value expressed in terms of STEEM or SBDs, respectively. They're aligned differently on the graph because they use different axes. |
The top-right graphic now contains a zoom-in on "virtual STEEM Supply" (left axis) and the ratio of liquid STEEM / virutal STEEM supply (right axis). As we learned, here, virtual STEEM supply is heavily influenced by price, so with STEEM prices down, it's not surprising to find the virtual STEEM supply increasing. The up-side of this is that it's now possible to burn more collateralized STEEM per SBD with post promotion.
The bottom-left visualization now contains the ratio of liquid STEEM / current STEEM supply (left axis) and a zoom-in on Current SBD supply (right axis)
The chart on the bottom right shows the value of SBDs in terms of STEEM, according to the blockchain conversion rate, not external markets. This is the inverse of the blockchain's: internal price (which is different from the actual feed median, for reasons that I don't currently understand).
Now, here are some more details about each of the values
| Parameter | Axis (left/right) | Meaning | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| SBD Supply | right | Number of SBDs in circulation | Equivalent in value to collateralized STEEM |
| Collateralized STEEM | left | Number of STEEM needed to pay off all SBD debt | Equivalent in value to SBD Supply |
| Vested STEEM | left | Number of STEEM staked as STEEMPOWER | |
| Liquid STEEM | left | Number of STEEM that's not staked or needed for SBD collateral | Calculated as (Current STEEM supply - Vested STEEM) |
| Current STEEM supply | left | Number of STEEM in circulation | |
| Virtual STEEM supply | left | Number of STEEM in existence |

Creativity Challenge will continue? It is interesting to read other answers to the given photo) Thanks for another report!
Thanks for asking! Yes, the creativity challenge will continue. I just didn't have time for it last week because I spent too much time writing my post about the Steemit Development Incentive Program.
This post has been featured in the latest edition of Steem News...
The so-called experts predict that the economy will have many changes, positive and negative, however this is not new, over the years these events have occurred, they have caused favorable and unfavorable changes, so the forecasts no longer work.
My comment does not have too much to do with the post, but I read it
Agreed. I don't have much confidence in most forecasts for any complex systems.
Now I'm seeing the active growth of steem, it pleases! Thanks to you, I continue to watch the burning of the coin. your charts are very clear! Thanks for the weekly report.
Steem is constantly rising because the SBD price is high. This is what really drives inflation. If the price of SBD falls, less steem will be produced and burns will become more important.
