Hi fellow Lions,
Today I wanted to appreciate the progress, albeit later than others, that I've made with Leo tokens!
Noticeable Leo Progress
With the Leo ecosystem, one of the things that I did in the beginning which may not have been the best idea in hindsight, was sell my initial tokens and stake. I used that mainly to fund my Splinterlands beginning journey so I can't really complain, considering the value my Splinterlands assets are now.. I digress though!
One of the things that I've really enjoyed of late are the different things that go on in the Leo ecosystem like the LPUD that was recently started despite it being a fun trend to do the Hive side for a while. That, among other things, made me get more focus back into the Leo side of the house! Since I've done that, it's been great to watch it all grow with my account!
Having started a dedicated curation account for a few of the different Hive Engine tribes out there, my Leo one is definitely the only one that I continue to use to this day which is fine because you never know what things are going to take off and what ones aren't. It's a little sad to see the other tokens like Pal, Lotus and Sports haven't really gone anywhere as I had decent stakes in those and still do but I'm glad that we also have the ability to have specific accounts for this stuff. This helps allow us to have different sets of curation coming in! I don't want to curate on my main Hive account the Leo posts, as much as I'd like to spend my voting power on that, I've got other Hive communities that I use that on such as the Rant community I started a year ago among others.
The positive change that I've noticed and really appreciate over the last 6 months or so is the ability to gain more curation rewards per week while my stake goes up, and the need to drop my voting power per vote so that I can vote on more posts but still gain curation rewards for each of my votes. I know it might not sound like a lot but it's a pretty significant improvement for me! I was voting everything at 100% for a while so that I could get some small curation rewards on my Leo account. Then I moved it down to 75% for a bit and after I got the chance to stack a nice 600 Leo at once, I was able to drop it down to 55%. I'm now sitting at 45% vote strength per post and I'm going to drop it down to 40% after the next #LPUD which is going to be great! The more votes we can throw around the better I think. It's a good problem to have that's for sure! I can hardly imagine the days where my Leo stake is going to be over 10k, having to vote everything at 15% is going to be great but take a lot longer to use up my Leo power per day lol.
All of these benefits are coming at a time when there is a market downturn, before the bull market kicks off. The bear markets are definitely the best time for growth and where the real money is made! The bull markets are where the profits are taken and money is spread around. The only tricky factor is trying to figure out how to have the liquidity to take advantage of a situation like a bull market, while also building during a bear!
