Also, I have not taken into account the new accounts creation fee.
I was curious about this so I ran some queries on hivesql that I thought were worth sharing
SELECT SUM(fee) FROM DBHive.dbo.TxAccountCreates;
= 3,536,485.257 Hive burned in account creation fee's, ever
SELECT SUM(fee), YEAR([timestamp]) FROM DBHive.dbo.TxAccountCreates GROUP BY YEAR([timestamp]) ORDER BY YEAR([timestamp])
1,272,710.700 in 2016
1,027,099.667 in 2017
239,798.890 in 2018
16,803.000 in 2019
8,856.000 in 2020
971,250.000 in 2021
95%+ of those account creations are thanks to splinterlands via @steemmonsters
