I am all for delegating SP!

  • It is the only way for the Utopian IO movement ( website, steem account ) to be able to lift-off. (Utopian is a new movement to reward Open Source contributors around the globe to get rewarded for their contributions with Steem. The last week it received 3.7 million delegated SP. I'm actively involved myself.)
  • I got delegated some SP personally from a friend (@cnts) (this is just day 26 on Steemit for me, and otherwise I wouldn't have "power" to upvote above $0.00!)

.. so a lot of good can be done with delegating SP!

Please do take your time to re-read my article How-to solve SPAM and Democratize Steem: Introducing UserAuthority because "UserAuthority", really can solve a lot of Steem problems once implemented via HFs.

See ya!

First of all: it's of course no problem for me that we are of different opinions concerning Steem power delegations.

I got delegated some SP personally from a friend (@cnts) (this is just day 26 on Steemit for me, and otherwise I wouldn't have "power" to upvote above $0.00!)

If he would upvote you regularly instead, you would collect own Steem power anyway (and his upvotes would still be more effective, because a smaller amount of his power would be delegated away from him). In the German community many people thanked me that I didn't delegate anything, because they noticed that manual upvotes of other accounts (who have delegated a lot) have nearly no effect anymore. I prefer manual voting after reading what I am voting for. I want to upvote good content and not content because it is written by a certain user. That means my Steem power must be available to be able to use it manually.
Also you yourself earn much more by the upvotes you receive for your articles than from curation rewards of your delegated Steem power. In addition the already mentioned vote buying is an abuse of receiving delegated Steem power which I observed more than once ...
But anyway, as soon as anywhere are more than one persons in the same room, there is also more than one opinion. :-)

OMG, you are indeed correct, so it seems... Could you please contact me via DM on (preferably) Discord, or steem.chat? I'd like to ask you some questions regarding steem delegation. Also @scipio in the chats...
