I thought I would have some fun with numbers. This was inspired by this Bitcoin wallet breakdown.
I basically mirrored the categories in the blue box adapting some for important Steem levels.
There are 260,876 account with at least 1 SP.
There are 117,699 account with at least 10 SP.
There are 24,975 with at least 100 SP.
There are 10,956 with at least 500 SP.
There are 7,096 accounts with at least 1,000 SP.
There are 2,191 with at least 5,000 SP.
There are 323 accounts with at least 50K SP.
There are 34 accounts with at least 500K SP.
As anyone can guess, the account numbers are bottom heavy with the lower SP having more accounts. It is similar to Bitcoin although the numbers are different.
The nice thing is that STEEM has the advantage of having things change, over time, with the reward pool. People can earn their way to higher levels. Of course, purchasing STEEM, like most have to do with Bitcoin, does speed up the process.
My question to everyone is which level is the most important?
At 33 cents, it takes a ton of SP to have anything. However, once SMTs are introduced and the bear goes into hibernation, we can expect STEEM to go a lot higher. STEEM gets back to the $4-$5 range, suddenly those accounts with at least 100 SP have something in them. Sure it is not retirement money in most countries but, in many others, it is a nice chunk of change.
It would take higher STEEM prices for the 10 SP accounts to have something but as they proceed up the scale, their accounts could be worthwhile. A 50 SP account, for example, if we get back to the all time highs, is in the category I just mentioned.
Obviously, the best thing to have happen is the 1 SP accounts keep growing at a fantastic rate which then provides the opportunity for some of those people to keep moving higher.
