Remember When All You Could Do With Your Leo Was Stake or Trade For Hive?

avatar

lion3576045_1920.jpg

Who was here when you would get paid 0.02 LEO Every Time You Made A Comment?

That is when the LEO team won me over.

Was it because I wanted that 0.02 LEO?

Yes, it was. And also because they knew what they needed (people to use their interface) and they knew how to get them (pay them).

The amount back then was minimal. 0.02 of something that traded for 0.02 of something that was worth 0.10USD.

But they knew how to gather a crowd. And the crowd they gathered knew those micro pennies were precious seeds to be watered.

They are not fully bloomed yet.

Now I am thankful for all that time I spent reading the early leo articles, and commenting while Power Rangers played in the background.

Now times have changed a little.

My downvote value keeps going down in LEO. It's ok though, because it continues up in USD.

Why?

Because there is sooooo much one can do with LEO now.

Do I want to stake it? And keep fattening my upvote? See what other airdrops come of it?

Do I want to dip my toes into w/LEO?

Do I want to buy bLEO?

Maybe I want to trade for cub? Or trade for BNB to make sure I keep my wallet plenty gassed up?

Do I use it to fund a farm? Do I part it in a DEN?

Do I invest in one of the new tribes? Do I buy some LBI?

Logging on to upvote is the new getting paid to comment

How much money do I leave on the table every time I let my Voting Power get to 100??

Did you ever imagine that a "side project" would be so profitable.

And all you had to do, was invest your time, believe in a team, and keep what they give you locked tight.

For all the newbies

You are in fact the OG crew. We are growing so much, so fast, and there are so many people coming, that you have already been here a long time.

Stack your LEO, its the home base. Fund at least 50 HIVE into your main account.

Log on.

Make comments.

Post when you have something relevant to post.

I don't happen to post every day. When I don't have anything to say, or don't see a hole that needs to be filled. I don't.

I do make comments though. All day every day throughout the day.

And I use all my upvotes.

To all the not quite diamond paws

We did not hold for whatever cent hive. Wait for the dollar!

And of course, this is my opinion that I came up with on my own and do not hold any credentials whatsoever to give financial advice.

Unless you consider the fact that in the cryptosphere I am a grandma.

grandma can you tell us about the place that was like a train?

Oh yes dear, I actually think I left some tokens parked there

I joined quite recently and I am still unsure what the voting percentage means, or how you actually earn Leo for commenting. I looked over the FAQ, and I might just be blind, but I am not finding the info on it. Regardless of any earnings the articles posted are mostly informative and fun to read and I will keep trying to get my footing here.

We have an upvote system.

An upvote is kind of like a facebook like, except it is worth money.

How much your upvote is worth, depends on how much money you have invested in the community (staking).

You earn by commenting, because people like me, upvote your comments, and then you get paid for it 7 days later.

Keep asking questions, most people here are more than happy to answer or point you in the right direction.

Have you created your first post? A popular first is a post introducing yourself. We love those here, and you will surely feel welcome once you write it.

It is easy to make them pretty using the interface.

You get a picture from pixabay or upsplash.

You make the letter bold by outing ## and I’m front of your words

That’s all you need.

Here's a story
There are two tokens I sold a long time ago
One was Dporn - that was in a flash as soon as I received it
The other was actually Leo but - only because I didn't think I'd be able to contribute in any way to the community and I needed some Steem to hit Dolphin which I wanted to before going to Steemfest
I don't beat myself up over it but if I had hung on to it, there'd be a better story to tell eh
To be honest, I don't have much financial content to write about and sadly for me, I just can't seem to ignite the interest, though I have tried, so in a way, I am still where I was when I did sell it - not much to contribute
It is what it is...

On another note, I am so happy for you, look at you go Mama(or grandmama hahaha)
I remember all the goals you set yourself for passive income and ta-dah :D

Thank you!

I remember when I told my family I was making money selling porn...

I bet you are happy to become a dolphin BEFORE the split. Nice moves, nice moves.

We can't follow all shiny things in the crypto world, there are just too many of them. Just in the past weeks i've been talking myself down from chasing vibes and cinetv, and and and. There have also been some bad investments: marlians, hyno...

Thank you for taking the time to read even if you don't write. I bet your hive engine wallet has some drip income from the tribes, even if you don't chase the $$.

I'm new to this community, and I don't really understand what you're saying, but I'm interested when we get paid just by commenting, I don't know if just by commenting we get paid, it's great to find this post

Happy you are here.

You don't get paid to comment every single time you comment. Only when someone upvotes you. Stick around and you will see exactly how it works.

For now, just keep reading and commenting. In seven days when payouts start coming out (that's how long it takes) you will start seeing that income in your wallet.

Feel free to come back and ask questions. Sometimes there are so many questions we just don't know what to ask. Most people here are very friendly, helpful and generous.

Thank you for taking the time to read and comment.

I'm pretty boring. All I do with Leo now is stake it still. It's still important to me to grow the original stake here. I've got a bunch of Cub as well, and I've in a couple farms and the Cub den. I'm just not funding any of that with Leo that I earn here. It's good to have options, though.

That was me.

Until the team announced that we might want to HODL liquid leo. I did. CUB came out, it took me DAYS to log in, I "lost" the 10,000APY opportunity, I FOMO'd in with my liquid LEO and then ... I think I will go back to staking... Or buying CUB...

It's amazing to see how the project has grown. I remember getting the airdrop and selling at some point after the hostile takeover by Justin. I thought everything would come crashing down but it didn't. Hive survived and Leo is doing more than just surviving. It is thriving. The community is growing bigger and as you mentioned leo's utility has multipled. There is a wide range of things one can do with Leo. The compounding effect of holding is mindblowing. No one told me it was this easy to become rich. Just hodl.

And all of this coming from the HIVE community... where I started almost 4 years ago with just a few 100's of the previous blockchain tokens... and now... I can upvote your post for more than 1$ just on HIVE... plus all the bunch of tokens I have on HIVE-Engine...

You are a great ambassador for LEO Finance and HIVE. Like you, I have done very well after joining this community. I spend a great more bit of time curating and commenting on posts than I do authoring.

More and more people are learning the advantages of being involved in all the different projects that are rolling out. The greatest value to me is learning about finance as I have no expertise on that topic.

People like to feel like they are winning. People are also attracted to what they feel good at and everyone wants to be on a winning team.

One of the areas that the LEO team shines is knowing that if everyone wins, they will win.

Humble beginnings!

How much money do I leave on the table every time I let my Voting Power get to 100??

Absolutely this.. I thoroughly enjoy burning down my voting power to the 80% area by days end rewarding content creators. Also enjoyable waking up and see it recharged the next day for another rounding of content discovery.

I found the recommendations for beginners incredible, as I found them very useful for me.

And definitely the best way to earn in the short and long term is to invest LEOs in LP.

Way back... waaaaaay back, there was this thing called "Steem-Engine" and I was excited about because it seemed like a first step towards having interest based communities. And one day, I was airdropped some "LEO" token in a community then called "SteemLeo." It made sense to me, because "crypto and finance" seemed like a nicely defined niche for a community.

And here we are... sooo many things have happened, which just goes to show that our communities could very well be what takes Hive into the future... seems like it's already starting!

I felt like that was cryptos version of having your stocks split. But then we split from steem and things really began to multiply.

I've only been here at Leofinance for a week and I love it. I was chatting a little bit with people on discord and asking questions because I didn't really understand certain things, but I'm going little by little. I think Leofinance is great for me because my passion is trading and market analysis.

I hope to contribute a lot of valuable content for everyone here in the community. Best regards!

You are very welcome here.

All of those interfaces are connected. I suggest using just one until you figure out how to best use it.

Anything you post on leofinance will
Show up on peakd. But everything on peakd will only show up on leofinance if it is tagged correctly.

Hope you enjoy your stay here.

Whoever bought your LEO is thankful you sold. The good thing is that we are still very early. You’ll be able to brag about earning LEO since before it was worth $2USD.

I have been away from the blockchain for work, I did not know that at the beginning they looked for people to comment and thus gain votes, a very good marketing strategy when you have a future project because it is paid so that they know the project, fall in love and then stay of your own free will hehehe, greetings
