I think at the moment whales are not voting and the people who are voting are drawing from a bigger reward pool. But I might be wrong.

There are 43,000 STEEM issued every day. At the current price, the total value of it is around 81,000 USD.

  • A full vote from me on a post gives $6. So that means one vote from me is 0.007% of the entire rewards pool.
  • I have 6300 SP.
  • If a whale vote draws $60 from the reward pool, it means it accounts for 0.07% from the total, and it has to have around 63,000SP to do this.

If you play with the numbers for a while, you will start to get the picture.

It may also be the fact that the reward pool was really, really imbalanced and now we started to see how tilted the odds were.

Thanks! I knew you were the right person to ask.

I will do the arithmetic.
