I think I will sell a little but we'll see how hard it crashes, slow powerdowns and all. If Justin does a HF with 1-day powerdown we'll have to sell quickly though :P

Thanks for putting this list together @abh12345. It will be very interesting to see what it looks like in about 24 hours ...

"Any guesses on how much STEEM will remain from the 74,027,928.48 currently sitting in these accounts?"

I don't know how easy it is to change your SQL statement to get the STEEM total period and also compare that. Earlier I added 2,500 to it ...

$0.00

abh12345 (76) 4 years ago

A good idea :)

83,221,603.479 in total, the majority held in the top 10 or so accounts which does include some exchanges. I'll take a look at the totals tomorrow, with and without some 'key' accounts.

Cheers and good luck!

Being a programmer is the same way. The only way to be a good programmer
is to write code. When you realize you haven't been writing much code
lately, and it seems like all you do is brag about code you wrote in the
past, and people start looking at you funny while you're shooting your
mouth off, realize it's because they know. They might not even know they
know, but they know. So, yes, doing what you love brings success, and by
all means, throw yourself a nice big party, buy yourself a nice car,
soak up the adulation of an adoring crowd. Then shut the fuck up and get
