Spreading The Wealth On LeoFinance Numerous Times Per Day!
I Give Away $1.67 Per Day!
I vote about 80-100 times per week. I spread those votes on 60-75 accounts. My 100% vote is worth ~0.251 LEO, so I don't make anyone rich by any means, but I still have impact and my votes are making a difference, as long as people truly realize the amazing potential. Hive & more specifically LeoFinance gives us an endless pool of opportunities to grab a piece of the pie so to speak, and my ~0.251 LEO is there every single day. My votes are worth a total of 2.51 LEO per day, and you can get your hands on 50% of that.
- Wouldn't you have picked up $1 if you found it on the street?
This is based upon the price of 0.669 USD per LEO.
Not only do I spread the wealth in an attempt to have a strong and sturdy foundation to build upon, I also make a slight difference on an individual level as well. I get to choose whoever I want to vote on, which also gives me the power to pick specific authors- or content I want to reward. I don't have strict guidelines for my votes, but there are a few things I tend to ignore more than once..
For instance, I do not upvote "famous" people just for the sake that they are famous. I can upvote the introduction post or whatever, just like I greet others as well. But I will not follow that upvote with more votes just because that person happens to be a "celebrity". It takes more than that to get my attention.
I also tend to ignore users I rarely- or never have spoken to, regardless of their stakes. This is not because I want to reward friends or family, this is simply because I don't chase rewards and desperately seek attention of other authors. I engage and contribute when I have time and when I want to do it.
Take a look at my votes for @taskmaster4450, @rollandthomas and @edicted for instance:
My last vote on content from taskmaster4450, rollandthomas and edicted was 4 days ago, 15 days ago and 1 day ago respectively. I highlight these three users for different reasons. One of them are the fact that they are "heavy hitters" in terms of LEO stake & earnings as you can see in this recent article:
I don't use my LEO power to vote on these authors at all times because of who they are- or in a weird attempt to get attention and votes coming my way. I focus on long-term growth, so it's pointless for me to chase rewards or try to grab the attention from "heavy hitters" like these authors just for the sake of getting "votes in return". I have been on the blockchain long enough to fully understand- and experience that it doesn't work like that if you aren't willing to literally succumb into greed or like some others would say, "become an ass-licker".
I want to have a strong foundation to build upon, and that means a lot of people with stake. I don't want a handful of powerful whales who seems to rule everything. I truly believe that the power lies within the numbers. We will have better results with a lot of users who has some stake, rather than feeding the powerful and mighty with all of our crumbs.
This isn't the main reason for me to not reward these authors though, truth to be told, it's a lot due to lack of time and for the simple reason that I don't focus much on auto-votes. I tend to vote manually for the majority of the time and I delegate my Hive Power to @leo.voter, so these authors, and a bunch of others gets some of my juice either way.
That being said, these authors will survive, thrive and continue to yield great results with- or without my full vote worth ~0.250 LEO regardless, so that gives me an opportunity to support other authors instead, and it gives me a chance to focus on my own growth and what I call my personal branding work.
What I usually do, is to upvote comments on my own content. That is the first "rule" I have. I respond to comments and I reward them as well. It's a "token of appreciation", but LEO is a token that has real value, and I am certain of the fact that Hive is undervalued and that it will rise in the future.
Great Leaders
A great leader posses a clear vision, is courageous, has integrity, honesty, humility and clear focus. They also help others to reach their goals and if you look at these authors I previously mentioned, you can easily see how important they are for Hive and LeoFinance. The one and only @onealfa.leo and at least a handful of other Lions can obviously be put in that list as well, and each of these authors are important for various reasons. They encourage, inspire and reward others just to name a few reasons..
-
They lead by great example.
taskmaster4450 has voted on 679 different users with a total of 1969 votes the last 7 days.
rollandthomas has voted on 49 different users with a total of 306 votes the last 7 days.
edicted has voted on 156 different users with a total of 244 votes the last 7 days.
onealfa has voted on 299 different users with a total of 717 votes the last 7 days.
Each of these Lions are spreading the wealth across the platform in different ways. They make the most out of their stake and the voting power they have at their disposal. While some seem to focus more on spreading some wealth to a lot of people, others are doing things differently and seem to reward less people with more instead.. Regardless of the approach, as there are literally no right or wrong, they contribute massively to the community by doing what they do..
- They empower others.
My personal stats
I have voted 94 times on 59 accounts in total, with a self-vote percentage of 6.9%. I didn't mention self-votes above, because each user decides for themselves how they will use their voting power and their stake.
However, I have personally never been a big fan of self-voting and I have never- and will never vote on my own content instead of others. I haven't really voted on my own content for the last 2 years or something like that, but I have started to vote every now and then on my #leofinance content.
Again, I don't tell anyone how they should vote, because that's not up to me, but the main reason for me to not be a huge fan of self-votes are because it can rather easily be "classified" as greed and I am far away from being greedy. That being said though, I can totally understand why people would self-vote, as they are looking for profits and return on investment. I do the same thing, but in less scale.
Even though it's very difficult to judge quality and to set a price of how much something is worth, I often imagine what my content might be worth, before I self-vote. If my content is not rewarded in the lines of what I think it should be worth, I self-vote and add ~0.251 LEO to my pending rewards.
So even though my votes aren't worth much, I still think twice before I vote. Regardless of self-voting being "right or wrong" though, each vote makes a difference in the long haul and even if you "self-vote your way to riches", those votes will* help the community in the end, when we take off towards the moon.
