You mean people wanting to sell their accounts? I'm not familiar with how third parties work here

We wont be able to reach 1 million this year. Once we hit the 600,000 mark the @steem wallet maxed out its delegation to new accounts. January 8 the witnesses changed the algorithm that assigns delegated SP and halved the amount all accounts are delegated. The old algorithm gave new users up to 30 delegated SP. After jan 8 anyone who doesnt have 15 SP in their account is delegated up to 15 sp. The @steem wallet can only cover ~22,000 new delegated accounts at 15 SP... at the current rate of new accounts that means we have until mybe thurs of this week before that wallets delegation is maxed out. So no unless there is some fundamental changes that happen it will be impossible to hit 1 million. Check out my research on the topic:
