ONECENT Report - Profits Update, News & Free Upvote - Staking Centralization - Day 158 of 200

Firstly, the numbers: our total value is currently about 2827 STEEM (+2 STEEM), including 2218 STEEM within Steem Engine and a total of 19403 tokens in play. This gives ONECENT an ABV of about 14.57 STEEM cents (0.1457 STEEM), up slightly on yesterday.

ONECENT News

We have now reached the 75% mark of the ONECENT trading game, although it has turned out less of a game and more of a fixed-term investment.

The ABV at the start was about 0.09 STEEM, and we have now reached about 0.145 STEEM; this is an increase of 0.055, or 61% in 150 days, equivalent to an APR of about 149%.

The graph above shows the progress of actual transactions, hence is rather jagged as market activity has tended to be low. This, again, shows that this has been treated more as holding investment than the envisioned trading game. Never mind, I trust everyone is making a very good profit!

What appears to be a recent flash-crash is merely the artefact of a rather wide spread between the current sell and buy price. Indeed, let's look at the graph of the ONECENT token ABV.

A few features to note. The price flattened out immediately post-HF21 but, luckily we had some joy with the CATS and KITTENS game for about a month. Attention then shifted to the TRENDO token, which is given away free to many players; the actual tips have not been included in our calculations as those funds never touch our account, only the curation reward tokens are included. The most recent month has been somewhat flat too as many tokens have been priced downwards. However, we are now with two furlongs to go unstaking all our tokens and, with posting rewards still coming in, we look forward to a modest rise towards the finishing line.

I shall leave these graphs here for a couple of days as have no idea how many people read these.

Any opinions on this, please leave a comment.

Have a fine day!

Blockchain Analyst Arianna Simpson Predicts Staking Market Centralization

This is the beginning of a staking war, where centralized players take operational costs on themselves and achieve brand recognition, new clients and centralization of the future market.

ONECENT Freebies

Now, to some prizes!

That random player will also be added to our automatic-voter (if not already there) and to our new TRENDO tipping token comments.

So, our winner today is... @roger5120 !

Note that the tip token lasts for at least 10 days and is subject to availability, as a maximum of 10 can be distributed per day. Also, any user who wins while already receiving bonuses will have their bonus period extended by a further 10 days; this can happen as there are not so many players left who are also still posting.

Congratulations!

I hope you find the game interesting. Please post any questions or, better still, if you write any articles on the ONECENT experience, feel free to post a link in a comment.

Till tomorrow!
