Although I'm still traveling and I'm posting more about [knights taking selfies](https://steemit.com/photography/@dragosroua/the-first-selfie-ever-was-taken-in-valencia) or [coffee shops not having WiFi](https://steemit.com/photography/@dragosroua/some-coffee-shops-don-t-have-wifi-over-here), I just realized, while briefly looking at [steem.supply](http://steem.supply), that the Steemit rewards pool is at an all time high: more than 740,000 STEEM.

It's true that the price of STEEM is much lower these days, so the overall value in fiat is less than $1.5 million.

Last time I was looking at the rewards pool was [3 weeks ago](https://steemit.com/steemit/@dragosroua/steem-reward-pool-is-increasing-amidst-low-activity), and it was 713,000 STEEM.

The main reason for this increase seems to be low activity, probably because a part of the community is getting disappointed with the ROI.

As usual, when the rewards pool is increasing, I always suggest to my followers to keep posting (or, if possible, even posting more than usual).
