This week's report is a day later than usual as yesterday was my birthday.

USD values are calculated per day via API feeds from Poloniex (for STEEM and SBD values in BTC) and Coindesk (for USD value of BTC). For the hourly breakdown graphs, I show the USD values using the weighted average for that day. For the top 50 reports in USD terms, I then took the average USD value for STEEM and SBD for the week using the daily average which came out to:

• STEEM: $0.15797
• SBD: $1.03111

Previous Report:

• STEEM: $0.14535
• SBD: $1.00860

Assumptions

Please see the first report for a detailed explanation of my personal assumptions related to what this data could mean (along with commentary on previous reports). What it does not show is people powering up, powering down, or if they are buying or selling on an exchange. It's just some interesting data dealing with transfers to and from exchange accounts.

Commentary

• Last week we saw a huge jump in the number of accounts withdrawing compared to depositing on exchanges: 8.68 to 1. That is by far the largest ratio we've ever seen. This doesn't seem like a good thing. How will Steem Power be distributed unless more people are buying STEEM and powering up? If you look at the graph for the withdrawal to deposit ratio, it's just gotten worse and worse. Am I missing something here? Is this a sign of a larger systemic problem or just another thing which will work itself out over time?

• Surprisingly, even with the large number of people withdrawing, the total amount was fairly low compared to other weeks at $14,361.

• The main reason for that low amount was massive deposit by @tamim of $63,568. This is how new whales are born.

• Latest power down stats from @jesta's Power Down tool:
