I gathered the data from Steemwhales, and create graphs for you.
As many of you may now, the term Whales exist on Steemit to refer to the people with the more weight on the platform.
The website Steemwhales.com is doing an amazing job by collecting the data and showing to you who are those whales.
But with just number it's hard to see the distribution of those whales.
Here is some graphs I made and comments to help you better understand the Steemit upper side distribution.
All the data included only the first 100 people on the platform classed by estimated value.
Number of posts vs posts rewards distribution
The average number of posts is 77 and the average cumulative posts reward is 9 355 832. Only 12% of the people in the Top 100 are above both of these averages.
Curation rewards vs posts rewards distribution
As you can see in these graph, the distribution is tight. Only one person is far away on the curation rewards, and it is not @wang, for those of you who was wondering.
We can see both strategy are used by the Top 100:
- Posting and get the reward
- Curating and get the reward
If we put a logarithmic scale, we can clearly see that they are both posting and curating.
Estimated value distribution
This present you the estimated value in BTC repartition.
The value is decreasing quickly until the end of the Top 20. Indeed, 89% of the Top 100 estimated value is held by the firsts 20.
Estimated value distribution vs disposable value
This graph presents in orange the disposable value for each user. The amount of Steem and Steem Dollar that he holds. Only 1.4% of the estimated value for the Top 100 is disposable. (They can't dump the price yay!)
Distribution of Steem, Steem Power and Steem Dollars
A lot of Steem Power for not so much Steem and Steem Dollars, that's cool isn't it?
They are here for at least 2 more years!
Congrats to all of you the whales!
Here is the top 5 at the moment of the article:
As some of you asked, here the top 5 for curation rewards:
Ned as the double as dantheman, this is crazy.
And the top 5 for posting rewards:
Anyone seen a whale to support my new service :) ?

You've been posting this in every single topic. While I appreciate the service and see how it might add value to our ecosystem, spamming it in every venue you come across is both unprofessional and annoying. It makes the network and your service look bad.
Thanks for taking the time to create something, please take the time to apply common sense toward the marketing of your creation.
Cheers.
Great work. The triangle graph is pretty much the genie coefficient correct ? I will also be following all these accounts. I wish this platform was less like reddit and more like twitter so I can track posts better.
Thank you!
The triangle graph is only a radar graph with a logarithmic scale. It shows us that there is 1M BTC in Steem Power, 10K BTC in Steem and 10 BTC in Steem Dollars.
I wish a could follow people too, that would be so helpful.
Good post and good job laying out the graphs! :)
Thanks, that was not that easy, took me almost 3h just for getting the right graphs!
Well the whales have made it worth your while now! :)
Yes, definitely worth the work!
I like this whale:

Good article. Just so dang depressing. Us little minnows are squirming for nothing and the Wales just sit there and don't distribute the wealth.
Wales currently killing Steemit.
No, actually they upvote a lot. And they give a real incentive to produce good content. Without the whales, all we would see here would probably be crap...
The whales are good :)
Lol, have you had a look at the topics trending? You call that "good content"? Hahahaha!!! :D
Everybody knows @wang, but nobody likes him, is like the "devil", everybody knows him, but no one wants to hang out whit him.
I like wang, he gives his voting power towards the people!
Simple, direct and clean! Good job! Now make me a whale! :)
If I could I would make you a whale, but I have to be a whale first to do that aha
Great! as an trader i love graphs to illustrate an idea.
Graphs are the best way to present an idea!
Well researched and explained . Interesting article. Very nice
Thanks :)
one of them have just upvoted you) congrats!
I saw that! That feels so great :D
oh, yeah!
Big whale here. I just upvoted you, fun to see those measly number going UP. BOOM! Magic. thank @razvanelulmarin and pray he upvotes again soon. A good day, sir!
Thanks for the upvote!
I wish I could see that one day, to upvote someone and see the numbers going up significantly.
Thanks for the effort
No problem, I like playing with data!
Here is an Archive of Cryptocurrency App building Code on Github for anyone creating a Steemit app

This is a really interesting piece of analysis, very interesting to read and have outlined as you have done.
Thank you, I will try to produce more analysis like that.
Next problem is to find whale attractor
That's more difficult
very nice work...graphs are pointing out the things you do not recognize if you just look at the statistics. you got an upvote but i am just a little goldfish.
All of the votes matter, thank you :)
"Only 1.4% of the estimated value for the Top 100 is disposable. (They can't dump the price yay!)"
This is what I love about Steemit, I would probably blow everything on some random stuff, instead I let it grow through the blockchain and keep them safe and get weekly withdrawals.
Not that I am planning on divesting any time soon. ;)
That is truly reassuring that they are kind of lock in steemit!
Ha ha hi :)
Your website is amazing! I saw your message, I'll comeback to you with the sheet on Monday :)
