The funny thing is, those successful authors who left the platform when the price went down, would have multiplied the value of their earnings if they had stayed and taken their rewards in SP instead of SBD.
How so? New here and really, for me, rewards are secondary. I wish to increase my steems... so I powered up as suggested by others.
Then switched back to 50/50.
If user has posted when the price of steem has been low, he has been rewarded with a little amount of SBD. If he's been lucky, he might have sold that with two dollar price recently. But at the same time, the price of steem has gone up much more than doubled. If the user had been paid only with steems, he would have gotten a much more if he sold those steems now.
