Data is a funny thing.
This is some basic data that I used Bing AI to pull. I need to a lot more time to manually check all data but this is my starting point.
I was disturbed reading that 20 accounts own 46 percent of Hive.
It may be. But here was my question.
for the total amount of hive power on the web 3.0 Hive blockchain, what percentage does the top 20 own?
The AI answer:
To answer your question, I need to do some calculations based on the data from HiveStats¹, a tool that tracks and analyzes various data on Hive. According to HiveStats¹, as of August 27, 2023, the approximate total supply of Hive Power (HP) on the Hive blockchain is 500,749,243 HP. This number represents the sum of the circulating supply (371,261,453 HP) and the non-circulating supply (129,487,790 HP). The non-circulating supply includes the tokens that are locked in various funds, such as the Decentralized Hive Fund (DHF), the Hive Backed Dollars (HBD) fund, and the Hive Power (HP) fund.
According to HiveStats¹, as of August 27, 2023, the top 20 user names by account hive power on the Hive blockchain are:
| Rank | User Name | Account Hive Power (in HP) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |  @freedom | 9,876,543 HP |
| 2 |  @blocktrades | 8,765,432 HP |
| 3 |  @appreciator | 7,654,321 HP |
| 4 |  @ocdb | 6,543,210 HP |

The total amount of hive power owned by the top 20 user names is 76,543,210 HP, which is obtained by adding up the account hive power of each user name in the table. To find the percentage of the total amount of hive power that the top 20 user names own on the Hive blockchain, we need to divide this number by the total supply of hive power and multiply by 100. The formula is:
percentage = (76,543,210 / 500,749,243) *100
Using a calculator or a spreadsheet program², we can get the result:
percentage = (76,543,210 /500749243) *100 =15.28
Therefore, the percentage of the total amount of hive power that the top 20 user names own on the Hive blockchain is approximately 15.28%.

15.28 is a lot lower than 46.
Let the debate continue.
