RE: How a minnow can become a dolphin for a week by leasing steem power - How to lease steem power

in #leasing6 years ago

As an advertising campaign leasing sounds like a good idea but I think it is really hard to be profitable and make more than the 90 steem (as in your example) you have to pay back.
It then becomes a question if the x amount of steem you will lose by leasing will be worth it. I'm curious if anyone has done the math and figure out if you make a profit or a loss on average when you lease SP.
How is the baby doing? Cheers!

If your motive is to make an instant profit it probably won’t work for you. It is only profitable if you only vote for yourself.

I didn't say anything about instant profit. I was talking if you can make more than 90 steem by using your delegation (including self upvotes)

Let’s say you decide to pay 90 steem (you can offer less - it’s your choice). You vote for yourself 10 times a day for 7 days. (It’s your choice to vote more, or less often). That’s about $35 in total, of which half is in SBD. If both steem and sbd are worth $1 you will definitely make a loss. $90 - $35 = $55 loss. On the other hand, if sbd are worth $5 each, you will make a profit: $90 - $105 = $20 profit. At the present price of around $2.50 you would not make a profit.

SBD to steem ratio is more like 75/25 these days, so it seems it's very dependent on SBD price :)

Correct. The higher the sbd price, the more you can make from a vote.

Would this be a problem? I also thought of leasing SP and upvoting 10 of my posts and comments daily.

Would you recommend this? Would a minnow get flagged for this?

I do not recommend voting your own comments unless you particularly need to promote one of them to push it to the top.

Alright then. I was told Icould possibly get flagged for doing so. Wanted to get a second opinion. Thanks for responding

There are some whales who flag people who vote ALL of their own comments. Voting one or two should do no harm.
