Hey Steemean friends!
The island I will buy is that one from the photo above.
You may think "Dude you're nuts!"
Wait!
๐๐๐
"How to buy an island with STEEM" is a way to talk about upvotes, then we will see the island.
As you can see here on SteemWorld each of us has a value in SP (Steem Power), currently I have 15.20 SP (image below) and a percentage of Upvote available, which can go from 0% to 100%, at this moment I have 87.56%, to be easier I'm gonna call this percentage SPP.
SP - Steem Power
SP among other things defines the value of our upvote when we vote in a post or comment of someone, we can also vote in ours. We can vote with 100% power (this percentage is not the SPP) which is the default percentage in Steemit or choose the percentage that we want to vote for. To vote with another percentage we can use SteemWord (image below), eSteem (App available for Android and IOS) or Steemit Korean.
And what is the value of our upvote?
My upvote when it is with 100% SPP is worth $ 0.01 (very poor for now), with SPP of 87.65% is $ 0.00, that is, for example if I vote now with 100% power in someone's post, my vote is worth ZERO, it does not contribute anything to that person and I still add hours to the hours needed to get the SPP back to 100%, every time we give upvote the SPP decreases. You can see the value of your vote at any time in SteemWord.
โข Conclusion โข
No one wins when our vote is ZERO!
With this conclusion my strategy during the next times will be not vote when my vote is ZERO, to comment on the posts that I would like to vote, resteem when I feel I should and focus on increasing SP with my gains, quite and slowly.
SPP - Percentage of Upvote available
SPP someone says (I still can not confirm) if it is 100%, after we vote once with 100% strength or 2 times with 50% strength or 10 times with 10% strength (if SP has a vote value of $ 2, a vote with SPP at 100% given with 10% strength is worth $ 0.20) returns to 100% in about 2.4 hours. At this moment I have 14h 55m remaining to get 100% SPP again (I have not bothered to figure out these numbers yet) but I know this means that during the next 14 hours all my votes are worth ZERO and if I still vote I will add hours to go back to 100% SPP.
Once again...
No one wins when our vote is ZERO!
Finally, the island.
If you take a look on the Infinite monkey theorem, mathematically is possible!
And you, have already chosen your island?
I need an island with an internet connection.
Ehehe ๐
Thanks mate! I will take a look for sure :)
