really good post, clarifying how the system works! I got a question myself regarding inflation. I made a post some days back in which I looked at the return of investment on Hive through curation. In this I left out inflation which I think makes my analysis incorrect: https://peakd.com/hive-174578/@tobetada/compelling-arguments-for-becoming-a-hive-investor
From what I understand it means that as long as I make ~8% ROI my stake in Hive stays the same, right? Would the calculations then be accurate?
There are couple aspect to it. First, if no delegations are involved and you powered up your own HIVE, then inflation affects you a little less, because 15% of inflation is being distributed to all HP holders (currently 38% of all HIVE is powered up, so instead of 8.1% dilution your are facing only 4.3%).
If through active you will make another 4.3%, then your share of the total HIVE supply will remain steady or even increase.
