Steem Growth update: Powering up in December

A touch over a month ago I wrote a post looking at the six month change in numbers across Steem Power bands. I dod this to get a better understanding about the growth of the platform and what effect the lower prices are having. Steem was hovering around the 35 cent mark with a few spikes and dips either side.

Across the six months looked pretty healthy:

These numbers meant that from mid-May to the end of November there were:

- 255 more dolphins in the 5k - 50k range,
- 11 new orcas in the 50-100k range, and
- 25 more in the 100k+ range.

Which is pretty good, all things considered.

The month of December 2017 is when a lot of people are celebrating their one year anniversaries on Steem because crypto markets went insane and everyone wanted a piece of the action and Steem offered them a chance without having to even buy in. This is what I consider is going to be a competitive advantage for Steem in the future too except they will be arriving because the global economy crashes and need any form of income possible.

So, this is what the Steem Power looked like last year (yesterday) in December 2018.

This is pretty interesting if looking at the same 3 changes we did above of dolphins, orcas and 100k+:

- 52 more dolphins in the 5k - 50k range,
- 11 new orcas in the 50-100k range, and
- 7 more in the 100k+ range.

With the number increased averaged out, there are about 20% more new dolphins in December, at 11, there are the same number of new orcas in the water through December than there was in the six months leading up to it and 22% of the new orcas made in the last 7 months were made in December alone. There are also 152 accounts more in the 100 - 5000 range.

These numbers show that there has been a significant number of medium to large buyers who powered it up into their accounts in December and when the time comes, they are going to have a great deal of influence over the ecosystem and distribution of the reward pool.

It also indicates that there is a fattening of the middle-class areas of Steem which indicates that there is a a development of the core users/ holders here that are going to be the ones that stabilize and protect the base of the blockchain. The stronger this core becomes, the more attractive the blockchain becomes to investors and, the more diverse the application and user range can be supported.

While 2018 saw a consolidation of *'human resources'* due to the price, 2019 is set to be an expansion year where a few fundamental industry changes will likely take place, new investment money will come into the scene, new exchanges and on Steem, a whole lot of new applications and initiatives will develop. How soon will price follow the growth? Who knows, it is just a matter of time to find out though so, be patient.

Thank you @abh12345 for providing these numbers once again.

Thanks for the stats @tarazkp I recently passed the 1k mark, am almost at the 2k mark and hope to be a dolphin one day. Maybe you should include a few more bands in your stats, such as one with say 1 sp (above the grant) to eliminate unactive accounts. Also the 100-500 and 1000-5000 bands are much more difficult to breach than the others. 
The middleclass is the most interesting demographic that speaks about the long term success of Steem. I'd look forward to a post breaking down it's statistics further. People with over 100sp begin to have a meaningful stake and people with over 1000sp would be considered investors and can have some influence.

👍 tarazkp, drutter

if you ask @abh12345 he can do it more precisely. I can include it for the next perhaps but I did it this way for consistency sake. 

>People with over 100sp begin to have a meaningful stake and people with over 1000sp would be considered investors and can have some influence.

Yep, and the platform expands, those with 1000 are going to seem very rare and powerful.
