Metcalfe law suggests value growth as a quadratic function of the size of the user base. It would be interesting to have charts that use number of accounts in abscissa instead of time, and show both the price curve and upper and lower boundary quadratic curves. That would help assert visually whether Steem price indeed appears to have a quadratic growth component, and get a clue where it would have to go next if it is to converge back to metcalfe.

I will look into this. Thanks @recursive. Pretty technical, but always happy to get an eduction and exchange idea's. Historic data wise, this is the best source I have found (for user numbers, market cap could be easily found on multiple sources). It will take a while to record (manual) and compute everything necessary to achieve what you want.

It should be possible to get the market data using the Steem RPC API
