These are truly impressive year over year figures that are great to see.  What is better is that the trend seems to continue in the right direction as many are taking advantage of the low Steem price to power up into higher categories (I know I have).  I think a positive implication of the low price is that it seems more attainable for accounts to reach minnow and dolphin status by small increments which is what I think we are witnessing.  I think that it would be interesting to see how active these categories are as I also think we will find that minnows and dolphins are taking advantage of the low activity to also get a larger part of the rewards while whales are not.  Great trend to see!
