0.000 HBDSteem Power vs. Vote Value
<html> <p>Earlier this week, I read a post about how someone purchased some Steem in order to power up. This had me thinking about doing the same thing. Before I did this though, I wanted to get an idea of how much this purchase would effect the value of my upvotes. After going through a number of accounts and pulling current Steem Power balances along with current vote values, I've generated the following graph.</p> <p><img src="https://s4.postimg.org/9swi751cd/steem1.png" width="823" height="600"/></p> <p>The curve is linear with a slope of 0.00005. The following two graphs show the the curve zoomed in at the lower end of the curve. Based on what I found, it requires a little less than 200 Steem Power before your votes are able to change the payout counter for any content.</p> <p>At the bottom end, a brand new minnow has a voting power of about 0.0001. At the top end of the spectrum, ned has a vote value of about $194, with 3.7 million Steem Power.<br> </p> <p><img src="https://s4.postimg.org/hx73g24ot/steem2.png" width="825" height="600"/></p> <p><br></p> <p><img src="https://s4.postimg.org/ah1gxsnx9/steem3.png" width="824" height="601"/></p> <p>Based on what I've found, it doesn't seem to be cost effective for me to buy Steem and then power up. The effect on my vote is fairly minimal, unless I buy almost $200 worth. At some point I may do it, but right now I don't have $200 free to spend on something like this.</p> <p>Charts were generated using data provided by steemdollar.com and steemwhales.com. </p> </html>
