Why? If you don't mind sharing. From my understanding if you partially delegate whatever you think is appropriate you generate ROI about 25-30% a year from this amount( according to smartsteem stats). The rest you can keep at hand and vote any time and anyone you want for social networking. Or even sell upvotes if you have any left. So far I've tried to stick to selling only and it was OK, but ROI is less because I constantly upvote somebody manually)))) Anyway, I'm exploring all the options before I invest a more substantial sum in Steem.

If you delegate to a bot this is probably true, I delegated to individuals trying to build a network and it didn't work ...selling upvotes is something I do on minnowbooster and it's great if you have enough sp ... I only generate about 1.4 sbd a night which is better than nothing but doesn't do much to build a following and get organic upvotes, so I do a little of each. I currently and trying to build watching steembottracker.com and it can be great but also a bummmer. If you plan on investing I say just do it because the vesting percentage grows so quickly it's better to do it sooner than later. Let's talk more [email protected]
