Every two weeks or so I like to compare the current Power down statistics and see how we stand.

Here they are:

11th December 2018

STEEM	Amount
STEEMPOWER	203,3 Million
LIQUID STEEM	84 Million
SBD	12,75 Million

Today (29th December 2018)

STEEM	Amount
STEEMPOWER	205,3 Million
LIQUID STEEM	85.6 Million
SBD	11,89 Million

Positive things: STEEMPOWER is still going up. By 2 million vested STEEM since the 11th.

And the amount of outstanding SBD is slowly coming down. Almost by a million in the last 2 weeks.

The downside is we are creating a lot of extra STEEM because of conversions (SBD to STEEM). The total supply has grown by 3.6 million. We are outpacing the set inflation for this year by a lot.

I also had quick look at the amounts of the 34 whales (500k+ SP) powering down and I could only find two and only one of them is powering down at full force.

That's not bad actually. Considering the amount of money invested in this platform.

Even though this stat is not for everyone I always consider it a positive sign.
