But I have seen that this is essentially always unsustainable as the one receiving the delegation pays out native tokens that will be sold on the market for Hive. This ensures that there is a lot of selling pressure for the token, which often means that the token doesn’t survive for a very long time.
This isn't always the case, but in most cases it is... Especially when new tokens are minted to pay "dividends" to delegators, inflating the token supply even more... It is possible to keep the value of the token, even if you have a selling pressure, but with a different logic and tokenomics, of course...
Despite having a curation project (@Ourpick) and our @liotes.voter who supports it, I do advise people to keep the majority of their stake to themselves... Manual curation is the best way to help good content creators, and friends that you KNOW that are doing a good job, and to grow your own account...
