Today I bought some STEEM tokens. It was an impulse buy as STEEM price neared 2$. I plan to keep buying STEEM whenever it goes close to $2 and under. I transferred those tokens to my steemit account and was about to power up when the investor in me woke up and stopped me.
Everyone says keep powering up which sounds like the right thing to do, but is it really?
When in doubt, I fall back to numbers and I will do whatever numbers supports. So, lets run some numbers:
Assumption: For the sake of calculation lets say, I sell all my votes and keep 100% of profit.
Total STEEM token: 85
Total Vote value with these tokens: .02$
Total votes in 1 day: 10
Total vote value a day: .2$
Total vote value a yr: 73$
After curation: 54.75$
SBD: ~27.375
STEEM: 11.31
Total ROI: 35% in a yr
If I instead buy SBD with the STEEM tokens and then use them for up-voting my posts it will yield me minimum 10% ROI/week from up-vote bots and fixed vote bots. On top of this, I keep my liquidity whereas if I lock this money in SP, I will have to power down and wait for money to come back to me.
Seeing these numbers it seems pretty easy choice. What do you guys think, am I missing something?
