Steemit launched the #burnsteem25 initiative on May 22, and the corresponding rewards started being delivered to @null on May 29. Here is the next weekly update with PowerBI charts to visualize the burned token-related statistics since that date.
Slide 1: Burn amounts in beneficiary rewards and transfers to @null.
With 595 SP burned in beneficiary rewards on July 25, 607 SP burned on July 26, and 614 burned on July 28, the three highest days fell in the last seven. Today's total is currently 260 with 8 hours remaining, so we'll see where it ends up. With July nearly complete, it looks like the month will close with just about two times as many rewards burned as in June.
Top-left: This image shows the number of VESTS along with the estimated numbers of SP and ( SP + STEEM ) beneficiary rewards that have been burned since May 29. This is where the headline number comes from.
Top-right: This shows the VESTS and the estimated SP beneficiary rewards burned per month.
Middle: This shows the daily VESTS and the estimated SP beneficiary rewards that have been burned.
In all three of the above charts, VESTS are shown against the left axis, SP and STEEM are shown against the right.
Curator rewards use the scale on the right, author and beneficiary rewards use the scale on the left. Beneficiary rewards for @null in this chart (red) have been adjusted in order to account for both SP and liquid rewards.
Slide 3: STEEM & SBD Supply as well as vested (i.e. staked or "powered up") STEEM
Noteworthy: We can see hints of this week's rising price of STEEM on virtual supply and SBD conversion rates in all of the "zoomed in" graphs (all except the top-left)
The top-left image provides a summary view of current and virtual STEEM supply, current SBD supply, liquid and vested STEEM, and the amount of STEEM reserved as collateral for paying off SBDs.
Note
Collateralized STEEM and current SBD supply actually represent the same value expressed in terms of STEEM or SBDs, respectively. They're aligned differently on the graph because they use different axes.
The top-right graphic now contains a zoom-in on "virtual STEEM Supply" (left axis) and the ratio of liquid STEEM / virutal STEEM supply (right axis). As we learned, here, virtual STEEM supply is heavily influenced by price, so with STEEM prices down, it's not surprising to find the virtual STEEM supply increasing. The up-side of this is that it's now possible to burn more collateralized STEEM per SBD with post promotion.
The bottom-left visualization now contains the ratio of liquid STEEM / current STEEM supply (left axis) and a zoom-in on Current SBD supply (right axis)
The chart on the bottom right shows the value of SBDs in terms of STEEM, according to the blockchain conversion rate, not external markets. This is the inverse of the blockchain's: internal price (which is different from the actual feed median, for reasons that I don't currently understand).
Now, here are some more details about each of the values
