Insights
With post rewards paying on a 7-day cycle and with both the reward pool and recent claims operating on a 15-day cycle, it is not surprising that our weekly statistics should oscillate, without showing any new trend.
Activity has been fairly flat compared to last week, with the vote yield estimate dropping one notch to 17.8% pa, but still around this multi-week yield of 18%. This is due to the increase in recent claims and voting capacity, showing that activity has edged upwards.
The incentive yield in the HIVE:BLURT pool has dropped a bit, and remains above the curation yield; still a valid passive source of income. There is also a daily bonus of 1% so that individual yields increase for longer staking.
Any questions, just ask.
BLURT Prices
We now have a BLURT price feed within the Blurt wallet, so I shall show the difference between our BLURT feed estimate and the BLURT pool price.
BLURT feed: $0.0028 (+0%/week)
BLURT in SWAP.HIVE:SWAP.BLURT pool: $0.0031 (+7%/week)
BLURT price has been stable, to slightly up, this week in USD terms but flat to lower in BTC terms. Now trading within a narrow range of around 8-10 satoshis.
Note that any swap pool price will not necessarily reflect open market prices. A swap price will only change when there is an actual trade; buying SWAP.BLURT will increase the price and selling will lower it. There are no "open orders", so every transaction will have an effect. This is how arbitrageurs make their money: buying and selling price discrepancies across different markets.
I hope these numbers will give members some insights into how the Blurt economic system is managed and, more importantly, how each individual user can both benefit from and affect the whole chain.
