<h3>Dear Steemians</h3>

As we go thru so many posts and so many users actively participating either by posting blogs or commenting with feedback on users posts or rewarding the posts, it just crossed to my mind to know whichare the top most accounts with most vesting shares.

Since I have an active subscription to SteemSQL, I thought of pulling the users details with above said stats.

Below are the details of top 20 Steemit accounts in terms of their own vesting shares (excluding the details of delegated or received vesting shares. There is another stat below with those details. )

<b>The Total vesting shares being 382,005,970,179.665000</b> and <b>approximate vesting shares for each steem as of today is 2042 vesting shares per steem</b>.

As we can see, @steemit is the biggest of all accounts with as high as 23.5% stake of total vesting shares (stats taken around 6 AM PST on 11<sup>th</sup> March 2018). 

We can also see that @steem, the initial delegator to normal steemit accounts is at third position and our CEO @ned at sixth position.

@blocktrades, the account which is the main delegator to many of Steemit accounts and the main account from which we buy and sell Steem is at fifth position.

Now, let's see the same 20 accounts with additional details of their delegated vesting shares and received vesting shares from others.

Accounts like @freedom, @blocktrades, @thejohalfiles and @minority-report have delegated most of their vesting shares while @ned has delegated almost half of his vesting shares to others and I read somewhere @utopian-io is one such beneficiary of delegated SP from @ned.

This is my first effort to create such stats report and I hope it gives some information to Steemians and if you see any mistake, kindly let me know.
