Steem Total Value Powered Up - $41 million - July 31, 2022

in #metrics2 years ago (edited)

This is next in my series of posts reviewing the amount and value of powered up STEEM on the Steem blockchain. For previous posts, see the end of this entry.

Noteworthy in the last week

  • Week over week, the number of powered up STEEM decreased by about 112K, or not quite 0.1%.
  • Over the course of the week, we saw four daily increases and no new highs in number of STEEM powered up.
  • The modeled value of powered-up STEEM gained ground against all comparison values. Changes ranged from 0% against ETH to +7% against USD.
  • In terms of all comparison values except for TRX, and USD, today's locked value is higher than the January 1, 2022 baseline.
  • This week saw a total of 636K STEEM powered down, which is an increase of 4% as compared to last week's 612K STEEM.

Daily Changes

Here is a chart of daily changes in powered-up STEEM from April 11, 2021 to present. The graph also includes a linear trend line and a 28 day moving average.

Here are some descriptive statistics, for numbers geeks.

VESTED STEEM

With a weekly decrease of about 112k, or less than 1/10%, the graph is basically flat for its 8th consecutive week, with a barely perceptible downslope.

Modeled value of powered-up STEEM in terms of USD

In terms of USD, we saw a weekly increase of about 2.6 million dollars, or about 7%. The value is still below the long-term mean, and holds above its recent low near $34 million. It also remains above the low of ~27 million from June 22, 2021.

Modeled value of powered-up STEEM in terms of Tron (TRX)

Powered-up STEEM advanced against TRX by about 15 1/2 million TRX tokens or a little over 2 3/4%.

Modeled value of powered-up STEEM in terms of Steem Dollars

Up by about 244K SBDs or 2%

Modeled value of powered-up STEEM as a percentage of Steem's market cap

Still running basically flat for the last couple of months - aside from an anomalous spike on April 26. With today's observed value of 39.85%, we have now seen 118 consecutive days above 39%; 151 consecutive days above 38%; 182 consecutive days above 37%; 309 consecutive days above 35%; and 372 straight days above 1/3. Will it hold above 39%? Will it climb above 40%?

Modeled value of powered-up STEEM in terms of bitcoin (BTC)

Up by about 44 BTC, or a bit over 2 1/2% during the week.

Daily Powerdown Activity

Here is graph with data from steemdb.io to show daily completed and pending powerdown activity. With 636K in completed powerdowns last week and 481K pending (both measured from Sunday through Saturday), we can expect powerdowns to decline next week by about 24% or more.

The horizontal lines are the average values for completed (blue) and pending (cyan) powerdowns, and the yellow line is a 28 day moving average of completed powerdowns.

Here are some descriptive statistics for the numbers geeks:

Since April/May 2022, there has been very little fluctuation in the daily changes. I currently have the feeling that there is not much movement on the BC at the moment. I would blame it on the summer (at least that's why it's a bit quieter for me), but that's only in the northern hemisphere and it was also different last year.
So it's probably due to the low exchange rate. But I fear the reasons are much more complex...

It's good to see that the power down will decrease significantly next week. Even if the powerdown still exceeds the powerup.

I agree. With the high powerdowns in the last 8 weeks, I'm even a little surprised that STEEM held up as well as it did against other cryptocurrencies, so I think the reduction in powerdowns is a good sign. Also, if I understand the price feed right, I believe that some SBD printing will resume in about 6 or 7 hours. With the clubs, maybe we'll even start seeing more powerup activity after that happens. (and maybe some other people will start experimenting with /promoted ;-).

My big question in this report is how to explain the 636K in completed powerdowns. Last week's post showed 556K pending. I get those numbers from steemdb.io, and they run from Sunday through Saturday when I post on Sunday, so no one should have been able to start new powerdowns in the relevant timeframe after I posted. I'm puzzled how 556K pending turned into 636K completed. I suppose I could've had a typo last week, but I'm usually pretty careful about that number.

Part of it is probably due to inflation in the conversion from VESTS to SP, but I don't think that's enough to account for the whole gap. Anyway, something to keep an eye on for next week.

I almost think that the steemdb.io data are incorrect.
When I retrieve the powerdowns via steemchillers API (Request), I get for the next 7 days:

VESTSSTEEM
~992,280,621~529,309

steemdb.io shows for the same period:

VESTSSTEEM
~792,115,649~438,378

I won't make it today, but maybe I can look into this a little more. May be you write a script to analyze the response before i can do it ;-)

Also, if I understand the price feed right, I believe that some SBD printing will resume in about 6 or 7 hours.

You were absolutely right! :-) 2 % SBD are printed again... For now! :-)

The price gives us hope.
I wish you a happy start of the week

Great analysis. I think the number of locked or staked steem will increase by September
