Burned tokens, rewards, and inflation summary June 25, 2022 - Estimated beneficiary burn since May 29: 12,412 STEEM

Steemit launched the #burnsteem25 initiative on May 22, and the corresponding rewards started being delivered to @null on May 29. Since then, I have been playing around with PowerBI and steemdb.io to put together some visualizations of some related blockchain numbers. Here is a third weekly update..


Slide 1: Burn amounts in beneficiary rewards and transfers to @null.

I removed the STEEM transfers this week, and made the SBD transfers graph larger..

Top-left: This image shows the number of VESTS along with the estimated numbers of SP and ( SP + STEEM ) beneficiary rewards that have been burned since May 29. This is where the headline number comes from.

Top-right: This shows the VESTS and the estimated SP beneficiary rewards burned per month.

Middle: This shows the daily VESTS and the estimated SP beneficiary rewards that have been burned.

Worth noting: At 347 SP burned, yesterday was the 3rd highest day since the program began.



In all three of the above charts, 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.


Slide 2: Rewards summary

Curator rewards use the scale on the right, author and beneficiary rewards use the scale on the left. Beneficiary rewards in this chart (red) have been adjusted in order to account for both SP and liquid rewards.

Noteworthy: Author reward payouts have been 100% STEEM all week long.

Slide 3: STEEM & SBD Supply as well as vested (i.e. staked or "powered up") STEEM

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

When we look at statistics and data, there are many mechanisms that make Steem valuable. Burn Steem. Steem staking, powerup is really important.

Progress may be slow, but the burning of rewards will have a positive impact on the Steem economy. It's like burning some tokens so the remaining ones can have higher value.

Interesting, I think that as time goes by all this will have improvements, there is still a long way to go

I was one of the first to attend the Burn event. I got support when I first joined. Support was discontinued after that. The rewards I have already won are limited. When I participate in the Burn event, my rewards will gradually decrease. I think the authors participating in the Burn event should be supported more.

I definitely agree that it would be good for curators to support the burn initiative.

On another note, are you aware of the Newcomer's Community? Going through their achievement system might be a good way for you to start building some more support for your own posts.
