The image above was taken a few minutes ago on steem.supply and it shows that the reward pool is over 713,000 STEEM. Usually, the rewards pool sits somewhere just under 700,000 STEEM, so we're seeing an increase of almost 2%.

In US, at the current price, this would be approximately $44,850.

This may be due to a few factors (or a combination of all):

• less activity following a slightly bearish / stagnant STEEM price
• overall fatigue following two very full months in the crypto world
• consolidation of long-term adopters of the platform (as opposed to opportunistic accounts, which may stop using the platform, given insignificant ROI)
• less claims
• none of the above, just random stuff

Whatever the reasons, I thought you may want to end this weekend with this thought:

"What if, at my job, my boss would tell me there's an extra $45,000 to be made next week."

If your boss will come tomorrow to you and tell you that, what would you do?
