I powered up 2000 HP on 29 November 2022 to push up the HP to 7000.
I always heard that things move faster when we exceed 10000 HP. I am not there yet, but I did notice my HP accumulation seems to be more visible, just judging from the number I see when I check my balance HP.
Maybe I am just getting better at writing posts, and getting rewarded more in that department. Nay, I don't like to think so. I prefer that my HP is working harder for me through curation rewards.
Let's take a look at the charts.
Note that 29 Nov 2022 is when I powered up 2000 HP. And I am interested in how the curation rewards are doing, i.e. the blue bars.
I have manually drawn 2 lines, the orange is before my 2K power up, and the white is after powering up. They are supposed to indicate the rough trend of my curation rewards.
Based on this limited info, I would think that I am doing better in my curation department. In absolute terms, it isn't much, but I am looking at a 150% increase on average.
Yes, I have powered up, so the curation rewards should increase given the stronger vote power. No surprises there. I reckon for someone with a smaller account, there might not be much that can be done to power up with cash, but there is something that can be done in terms of voting and curation, besides posting/commenting.
Strategically, what am I doing in my voting behavior?
Recently, I am more measured in my voting, such as keeping the mana high when voting, and strategically allowing it to restore. This allows me to spend less time curating and reward quality posts. I also learned how to minimize the effects of wasting votes due to not meeting the dust threshold.
Looking back, I seriously think I had been losing too much in the past due to dust votes. By keeping mana high, and becoming mindful of the dust threshold, I am doing myself justice.
There is a limit to how much I can power up with my cash, but no limit to how much the blockchain can reward me. So it's important to be strategic.
