We now know that the staking APR is 2.25%, I had no idea it was that much. This means the media can get our staking figures right and perhaps in a world of negative interest rates, powering up STEEM may be a cool option, when added to Steem Power leasing rates as high as 26.5% as is currently on order on the dlease.io platform, signifies a 28.25% APR return possible on Steem today!

Just go with the average, it's healthier for Steem and everyone involved to be realistic about the APR than throw out some crazy numbers like we have done in the past (with payouts) and only damaged ourselves more.

Also the math there isn't right.

But yes, delegating Steem to successful projects should net in some really decent returns now especially with the increase in CR, it's time we market that to the world and when they realize that the price can't possibly drop much lower than what it is now they will notice how good of an opportunity it would be to invest in SP right now and hodl for a couple years. I know we cryptoheads are into the 20-50% pumps daily, etc, but regular people will be okay with 20% APR even if price is 15% lower in a few years.
