What you got from him is 3.60 and that's it. Why would you think it would go higher?

In the end, you get 75% of what is written as the payout for this article. This includes randowhale's vote.

There are two other factors:

  • As the value of Steem changes, so does the value of SBD - this creates a fluctuation of the payout price of any post.
