During the last couple of days we have made substantial progress on KE-Ratio and related data mining. Many thanks to 
The first time I talked about KE ratio was in this post in last August.

Since then, we have come a long way! Major progress have been made last week. Please look up here and here. As a reminder, this is the way I describe KE-Ratio.
If I divide Author Rewards + Curation Rewards by Held HP, people who held more HP than they earn will have a fraction less than 1.0. Those who held less HP will have a fraction higher than 1.0. This is the Krampus Co-efficient! Or KE.
KE = (Author Rewards + Curation Rewards)/Held HP
The purpose of KE ratio is to look up hive account and try to estimate if the account is trying to invest in hive long-term. However, just like any numerical cut-off, it is neither perfect, not should be used blindly. One of the reasons I came up with this is to try and analyze how contest participants for Splinterlands behave as a hivian. However, if it is related to Splinterlands players, game assets must be taken into consideration. So I did. I first looked into SPS, but now we can look up any game assets thanks to
Please tell me what do you see? Let me help you:
I can do a variety of plots to prove this point over and over again. People can point out edge effects, borderline cases and which cut-off to use or not use, which other game data to use. All of that is fine and we can do that, but the point is if someone's KE is 2 and someone's KE is 20, there is a difference in their hive etiquette. And the difference is NOT in number but in long term investment mindset. That is what I am after with this analysis.
I am talking about an order of magnitude difference in a ratio. That is what I observe and demonstrated within the Top 30 and Bottom 30.
Investors hold hive and game assets long term and should be treated as co-owners. Extractors are milking both ecosystems as a cash cow.
Now, who you vote and support is your choice. I can only show you the door, it is you who must walk through it.
For the extractors on the list, I request that you increase your HP and invest into yourself and the ecosystem.
