RE: What STEEM Really Needs Is A Dolphin-Booster Program As Evidenced By @fulltimegeek!!!
Whatever the number is, STEEM needs a 10 fold increase in those accounts with between 35K and 50K SP.
Don't you think that is a bit much? I'd say 3000-10000 SP is middle class enough to impact the scene. Besides, according to Coinmarketcap there is "only" 250 Million Steem floating around. If you give every "middle class dolphin" 25000 SP, you can give that to 10000 users and the rest goes home with zero.
But anyway, I see the point you make. Creating a middle class is a good and personally, I really wouldn't mind if @stellabelle delegates me a shortcut worth 2000SP;-)
To start, I doubt there are 1000 users between 35K and 50K...it is a much smaller number than that.
And yes present allocation is 250K but it is increasing each year...and those who put STEEM in SP get a 9.25% increase in their SP to keep pace with inflaction...and it will go up a similar amount, albeit decreasing slightly, for the next two decades.
I don't know the exact SP distribution, but according to @arcange and his daily stats there are >1400 dolphins:
How did you derive the 35-50k SP?
Considering that a dolphin starts at about 5K steem and goes to 50K...most of those 1400+ are not in the 30K-50K class.....in fact, I see very few people who have that amount of SP...
Most are in the 5K-15K range.
I chose that level because it is a level with some Whale and Orca delegation, can put a number of people in that category. This will offer a larger number of people increased Voting Power so as to hit up minnow accounts with a good pump. When one is voting based upon that level, $10-$15 votes go a long way.
I see, you look at it from the upvote side. It would make a big difference if you had 5k users who could give away 50k 10$ upvotes.
But the problem that I still see is the question where you take all that SP from? You'd need either steemit inc itself to delegate it or you'd need a dozen of whales to do so. But which whale would do that? They all run their immorally profitable upvote bot business. They'd lose thousands of $$ every day if they did that. Just look at what for example @builtawhale gets transferred to every day.It's absolutely crazy and demanding of the owner to dial back to this extend (while giving up the shallow bot-business) is something that I don't see happening without a revolution.
