RE: Delegation Delegation Delegation
Hello :) I'm linking your post because it has some really useful figures to add to what I've written above.
With @steemhunt, I feel it's a little unclear exactly what you are getting and I'm guessing that part of the 20% is tokens. I haven't done any recent analysis, although I did look at the returns over a three month period last year (I never published this), and I plan to do a similar thing now that I've moved some of my delegations.
As a general thing for me, it's not only about the returns, it's also about what am I investing in. Steemhunt has looked consistently good in terms of operation and has much bigger, much clearer plans than some other options. Other general principles are:
- what is it contributing to the community
- are high short term returns to investors undermining the long-term value of steem
- are delegator returns separate from posting rewards ie I can do one and not the other and still receive a benefit?
For each of us there are different answers and preferences at different times - I would move some of my delegations if I was taking a break from posting. I don't think there is one right answer and my post reflects my preferences.
My reference to the tokens was really about how to value them for the purposes of calculating returns. Based on my calcs on just dividends, the upvotes and token value would have to be quite significant to generate total 20% returns from the three buckets added together.
And you're definitely right about personal preferences. The good thing about the delegations are that there are so many options depending on whether you're a pure financial investor, an ethical one, want to support your favourite projects, the platform, minnows or yourself, and how often you post in Steemit.
