Hey man! great and encouraging post!
I'm new here on Hive and have been trying to figure this thing out. The things you said in the video are exactly what have happened to me: three hours creating a good post or research for a well though out response... nothin' :D I've also noticed that the value of my vote goes down all the time which leads me to believe I'll be casting 100% votes with zero value.
I've found some very insightful posts on the platform, so I'm going to stick with HIVE, plus, doing research for a post helps me structure my thoughts and learn about the things I'm passionate about: music & music business
hope we can be Hive-buddies.
your help is greatly appreciated.
There is much to be figured out if you are new on Hive. It is worth the effort though. Your voting power recharges daily, you can check https://beeme.icu/?account=recording-box to see how long it will be until you are back to 100%. If you have more Hive Power your voting power will increase. Your vote value also fluctuates with the market value of HIVE.
Thank you by the way! I just followed you.
Yeah, I try to keep my voting mana (or voting power I guess) above 80-85%, but my vote value at 100%, expressed in HP, gets smaller and smaller.
My 100% vote used to be valued at 0.11 HP a few weeks ago, now it's 0.007HP even though I've powered up all my earnings + STEEM I've sold from my Steem power down.
I was under the impression it's because my account is not growing as fast as other HIVE accounts.
It's because the price of HIVE has decreased in the last few days. It will go back up if the price goes up. So the amount of HIVE your vote is worth isn't really changing, it's the fiat equivalent value that is going up and down.
