The more you stake, the more you make.
Staking is locking the coin up for 4 weeks. Once you have staked a POB token (or 1000), your upvote will now have value. New POB tokens are minted by a staker upvoting a post. You give whomever you upvote half of that inflation and you receive the other half.
So, to get a ROI on staking POB, you either have to curate and upvote (you get 10 full powered upvotes a day but can make many more lower powered votes before you lose all voting power) , you can also delegate your POB to a project that votes and gives you dividends (@amr008.pob is the best example I can think of), or you can follow someone else's curation trail on hive.vote and your POB power follows their vote. The latter 2 options are passive whereas the first option has you involved in the community. Your choice.
As far as APR, last week, @amr008's project paid 153%, which would be pretty close to what you would get if you manually curated.
I hope that helps.
I 100% upvoted you. I have 7200 POB staked. My vote is worth around 4.5 POB. So, in 7 days, you will get around 2.25 POB, and so will I. That is the best way to show you how it works.
Thank you so much, I think this was more explanatory 😆
You have said a lot and I understand everything you said. You have explained a whole lot and I’m sure that I’m not the only one this information is going to help. Thanks once again@allcapsonezero
