<h3>Daily comments and earnings</h3>
This week we had 12,488 comments in total, it is a bit less than last week but still moving in an upward trend. In the chart below you will see the steady increase in CTP post comments.

<h3>CTP Talk frontend utilisation</h3>
In the sections above I have highlighted the posts and comments generated using the CTP tag. These posts and comments could have been entered using many different frontends. When we specifically look at the CTP Talk frontend, 195 posts and comments were published in week 16. 

The TOP 3 authors were @alente (8 posts), @hirohurl (6 posts) and @amr008.ctp (2 posts). 

The TOP 3 comment posters were @jfang003 (54 comments), @moonthumb (30 comments) and @adysscheryl (7 comments). 

The two graphs below present the TOP 10 post and comment authors, although there were only 8 post authors in week 16 ☹.

The frontend was used substantial less as compared to last week. With the new frontend under development, I would expect this number to increase substantially.

<h3>CTP on Hive-Engine & Market Capitalisation</h3>

The following charts present the development of the CTP token on Hive-Engine.

The first one providing an overview of the total CTP supply, the number of tokens staked, liquid and burned. 

In week to 25 April, the total CTP supply increased with 52,679 CTP to 3,198,797 CTP. The number of tokens staked went up to 2,800,604 or 89.93% of the total number in circulation. Finally, 434 CTP were burned.

The total amount of CTP in circulation is held by 3,112 (+2.2%) account holders, which is steadily increasing.

The next chart presents the TOP 20 CTP holders. During the week, @lisamgentile1961, @rcaine and @howyf2 passed @bradleyarrow in the chart.

The following chart is taken from Hive Engine and presents the price development in the last three months. As you can see there has been a steady decline in price after the peak mid-February. On the positive side, the price has stabilised at the end of March and is slowly increasing again.
