I last reported the numbers in a post that covered through April 30th, 2019.

Each month I monitor what is going on with new accounts and the amount of MVests in each category. I do this to determine what trends are taking place.

Now that we are at end of month, time to post the numbers again.

I want to thank @arcange for the work done each day compiling these numbers and making the charts.

We have 3 months worth of data for analysis purposes to see how the 90 trend might be.

The first chart is from August of 2017, the month I started on Steem. It is placed here to provide some contrast to see how things are changing over a longer period of time.

Here is the breakdown.

To start: The system is working as designed.

The Whales are losing power.

There are now 11,765 accounts who qualify as either Minnow or higher. It was only a few months back when the total accounts above the approximate 500 SP (level to be a Minnow) was under 10K.

On March 31, 2019, the Whales and Orcas had 300,984 MVests (75.94% of the total).  On April 30, 2019, 296,454 MVests (75.28% of the total)...a decrease of .87%.  On May 31, 2019, 296,976 (75.11% of the total)...a decrease of .23%.

The Dolphins and Orcas were the big movers.  It was a flat month for the Minnows and Red Fish.  Whales continued to lose power in both total of MVests and percentage of the stake.

Last month was the first in a long time that the total MVest for Whales and Orcas was under 300K.  This month is remained there.  We are also moving towards those two accounts controlling less than 75% of the stake.  While this is still tilted heavily in their favor, it does show a radical transition from when I joined Steem.

You will also notice a change in the charts that @arcange did.  There is no longer a separate account for Inactives.
