RE: Drones Do Not Dream
Might be a he, not sure. They are a large Orca delegating most of their SP out but with enough to still vote like a large dolphin. A 100% vote is worth over $4. And since they've promised to resteem and pay out 10 SBDs, I think there's a decent payout awaiting the winner. :) So, I'm not sure if that makes them a leader, but I do believe they have a community of some sort growing up around them. I've just recently become aware of them. I keep stumbling on new people with large SP every day. :)
howdy today @glenalbrethsen! yes sir those people with large SP are good to know.
I like this neoxian because it sounds like he or she or them is helping a lot of people!
I'd forgotten they were one of the few offering some kind of loans. Very intriguing. Having the contracts on the blockchain for all to see, and keeping things simple, seems like a good way to go. And with contests in addition to that, it's a great combination if people are repaying and participating. Seems like both of that is happening.
Well, the ones with SP that are still posting, commenting and curating are good to know. They're getting to be few and far between. So many are delegating their SP, that unless you're on the receiving end, or the on the receiving end is actually posting, commenting and curating—and seeing your work—it doesn't matter if they have high SP. It's all tied up until they revoke it.
howdy today @glenalbrethsen! so the people with large sp are investors and they make money or interest on their sp even if they loan it out?
In a manner of speaking, we're all investors, as long as we don't cash out our earnings. And I think it's more nuanced than just people bringing in money from elsewhere, because there are plenty of lower dolphins, minnows and even redfish that are already delegating something. Not sure if all of those are leasing it or not.
In general, I'm not against delegation. In theory, it can be quite beneficial for the recipient, as well as the donor, regardless of whether it is free or leased. The issue for me becomes that too often any of these folks are delegating so much that their own votes become worth as much as a redfish would be.
They can do whatever they want with their SP. It's their stake. It's just kind of disheartening to have people who are voting for you, and who have been dropping larger amounts, all of sudden to be dropping pennies instead of fifty cents to a dollar. All because of delegation.
I guess that means I could track down the recipients and try to encourage them to upvote me, but in some cases the delegations are spread out over many people, so knowing the one larger fish becomes knowing all the smaller fish with their delegations and different tastes in posts.
In other words, it makes it that much more time consuming to regain ground that may or may not be lost again when the delegations end.
howdy back again sir, yes sir I understand what you mean. What percentage would you delegate, if any, if you had a huge stockpile?
You know, I haven't really thought about it, because I don't think I'll ever do it. All I do know is, I don't feel like I have enough now to do it, and I probably won't until I'm well within the level of dolphin. Just spitballing now off the top of my head, I probably wouldn't want to give up more than 10% at time, I don't think, and for it to be really worth someone's while, I wouldn't want to delegate less than 5,000 SP. So, that means I need to be an orca.
As it is, I would be pretty strict with a delegation, to the point most people wouldn't want to do it. I'd have to monitor the activity regularly, because I wouldn't want the delegation being used for a lot of things. But, I would probably do it for free (might think about that the longest, though), and I would do it for no less than three months (probably more like six), unless the rules were violated and the user refused to keep them.
So, I don't know. I think I wouldn't be a good fit for most people. :)
lol! I love that last line, that covers alot of territory!
