I recently was delegated nearly 400 Steem Power by my great friend !!! Ive known him since birth and had put him onto steemit a little bit ago. But since he doesnt always have the time to go on steemit and post, he decided he would gift me with a delegation. This will help me tremendously in my mission to grow my steemit page and curate more users.
With this extra Steem Power delegated, the value of my upvote has increased and as always I intend to continue sharing my upvote with as many people possible. I truly believe that is what steemit is all about.
The steem blockchain was built specifically to allow this type of thing to happen. However there are other reasons why people would delegate their Steem Power to another user. Some people earn profits for delegating their Steem Power to certain users.....A great example of using delegation effectively was if I knew I would be going away on vacation for a couple of weeks and would not be able to have access to post on steemit, I could delegate my steem power to a friend or service and earn some residual STEEM or SBD while I was away.
The official explanation of Delegation given by Steemit is " Delegation is donated for influence or to help new users perform actions on steemit."
If anyone else is looking for someone to delegate Steem Power to, I would gladly accept.
Thanks for reading and if anyone has questions about Delegation, I can try to answer them in the comments below.
