No you didn't!

And I can prove it to you. Well there will always be some exceptions, but that only proves the rule.

I posted this a few days back explaining how "some of us" are looking at blockchain data to understand "hive etiquette". This is a controversial topic, but that doesn't stop me from writing.

One of the argument against the KE number was; what if the user is selling hive to buy Splinterlands assets? It is a valid question. As a reminder:

If I divide Author Rewards + Curation Rewards by Held HP, people who held more HP than they earn will have a fraction less than 1.0. Those who held less HP will have a fraction higher than 1.0. This is the Krampus Co-efficient! Or KE.

KE = (Author Rewards + Curation Rewards)/Held HP

Getting all SL asset data for all users are time consuming, but it is possible to do it with our sample dataset of 170 users. Thanks to @slobberchops I can add the staked SPS rather easily. I eventually like to add DEC, Collection Power, Plot, and Validator node columns to all. However, that is a tedious process so far.

Okay, enough talk; let me show you the data.

My working hypothesis is: Long-term Investment is a mindset, those that doesn't hold much HP, doesn't hold SL assets either.

Here is people towards the top (meaning good holders of HP, relatively speaking)

Notice: the table is sorted by HP, people who hold high HP (in this sample) also hold some SPS.

People who hold no HP, typically do not hold any SPS either!

Plots

Well you can say, damn, you didn't show us all the data and yet you are making broad generalization! Well here you go!

Simple look first. Plot of held HP against their HP rank. Highest HP holder is 1, lowest one in 170. Size of the circle is Staked SPS.

Notice, very few accounts above 15000 HP! Only 11 account precisely hold more than 15000 HP.

I say, few accouts above 1000 HP! Only 86 account out of 170 holds more than 1000 HP!

Okay! I am going to go out on a limb and say, these last 83 accounts which hold less than 1000 HP, holds NO SPLINTERLANDS ASSETS!

Well I know you guys will come back and tell me "but what about DEC? Plots? Cards?"

Bunch of whinners you are, aren't you?!!

This is the way my fav perfume youtubers spray!

Yeah don't be a sissy! Spray like this, and you will smell good!

And no if you Spray 16 times, you will not run out of a bottle every week!

Anyways! I digress!

Here is the proof, no they don't hold any SL assets either! Let us zoom it to some reasonable depth!

There you have it, the constellation of extractors! The ones above KE=3 is people you should watch out for. They are net negative to the system I say.

Are there exceptions? Yes. I found 2 so far. ghostlybg and beaker007. They are above the line, but does hold substantial SPS.

Finally: Out of these 170 samples how many hold ZERO SPS?
