Content curation on Hive blockchain involves a user's expression of his level of acceptance/support for a content which he consumes with a "like" in a process known as upvote/downvote. When a content is curated, both the author and the curator share in the rewards on a 50%/50% basis. Besides, curation is also a learning opportunity for the curator.
For my understanding, curation is one of the sweet ways of making money in the Hive blockchain because it affords the curator the opportunity to learn from the array of contents he reads and then earns part of the author's rewards in the process.
Hive tribes also provide curation opportunities with their native tokens which helps the curator to earn additional rewards to HIVE. For example, if a post is created on https:leofinance.io, both the author and the curator would be able to earn HIVE and LEO token after at payout. LEO and all these tokens are exchangeable for HIVE via https://dex.leofinance.io/ or https://hive-engine.com/. Below is my statistical computation of my curation capacities and earnings with HIVE, LEO and SPORTS stake.
From the Table above, I hold curation capacities for HIVE (1,495), LEO (22,550 tokens) and SPORTS (15,000,000 tokens) which gives upvote values: $0.03, 5.6 LEO and 11,800 SPORTS at full upvote. I detailed the computations of the daily and weekly curation value with their corresponding ROI for each of the cryptocurrency stakes. The charts below shows a graphic representation of the data.
Figure 2 above shows that my curation investment has a distribution of 70% for LEO, 23% for HIVE and 7% for SPORTS. This means that the bulk of the efforts has been channeled to LEO tokens. SPORTS however, constitute the least investment because it is cheap. The distribution pf the curation earnings for HIVE, LEO and SPORTS is shown in Figure 3.
It is amazing to note that LEO still tops in curation earnings with upvote value worth $0.28. This is followed y SPORTS with $0.08 worth of upvote and lastly HIVE with $0.03 upvote worth. This keeps LEO as a top contributor to my total curation with 70%. SPORTS surprisingly seconds with 220% while HIVE trails with 8%.
I hope to level-up the contributions of the different cryptocurrencies in the coming weeks while looking forward to add more cryptocurrencies to my curation portfolio.
All computations and charts are made manually by me using Microsoft Excel 2013. I'll love to engage you in the comments section of this post.
I am consciously sharing blogs on my investment activities in Hive blockchain to help show prospective investors the awesome opportunities already available on Hive Blockchain. Besides, this serves as a reference point top rack my growth within the communities involved.
It would be educative to read this post I made on "Viscous Circle of Poverty" as it relates with staking tokens in the a DPoS like Hive.
Disclaimer: In all, the above are my personal views about HIVE, LEO and SPORTS tokens that fuels my convictions to invest in the cryptocurrencies. These are not investment advice. Always make your extra research before investing in any cryptocurrency.
