Hive Equality Trends Mid May 2023

Hive Power has become a little more equally distributed over the last two months in terms of MVESTs moving from Whale and Orca accounts down to mainly Dolphin accounts, and in terms of number of accounts there has been a slight shift from Orcas to Dolphins, but no significant change besides that.

I use @argange's daily Hive Statistics to collect the data below...

Accounts per Level

(May 15th 2023)

A/C	Dec 4th 2022	9th March 2023	15th May 2023
Whale	37	36	36
Orca	247	263	259
Dolphin	1633	1663	1681
Minnow	8808	8959	8933
Redfish	2.4M	2.4M	2.4M

No change in the number of Whale accounts and a slight drop in the number of Orcas, which I didn't expect.

But there's almost another 20 Dolphin accounts kicking about, probably down to Orcas Powering Down I'd hazard a guess.

Slightly fewer minnows and no significant increase in redfish, so I think overall we can call this pretty stagnant unforunately!

Cumulative MVESTS per Level

(May 15th 2023)

A/C	4th December 2022	9th March	15th May 2023
Whale	49.5	48.15	48.03
Orca	21.9	22.98	22.59
Dolphin	14.8	14.9	15.31
Minnow	8.5	8.63	8.68
Redfish	5.3	5.35	5.38

The drop off in Whale Weight continues: 0.2% a month on average this year, and a 0.5% drop in Orca stake.

All of the lower three categories have increased their share of the stake especially Dolphins with a 0.4% increase.

So we are seeing a more equitable distribution across accounts.

Final thoughts...slight equality trends again...

Overall this is a slight shift to more equality of Hive Power distribution, but very slow movement!
