Staking is not something you should be prompted to do as it is normal admin work when you are growing. A few months back I hit my target of 10K LP and today that figure is already 13 181 LP. This is steady consistent growth that increases due to the staking that takes place.
The more you have staked the more you make from supporting others via curating (voting). The more that the community stakes the less your vote is worth unless you are staking as well. This is why trying to achieve a 1 Leo vote value is difficult as the goal posts keep moving. One year ago that would require roughly 11K Leo stake, but looking now I would need over 25K LP. This has always been one of my objectives and it is not that easy to obtain. Thinking about it I have stayed constantly around the 0.5 Leo vote value. In other words if you don't stake you will be heading backwards at a rapid rate earning less and less from curation.
If you set out some targets it doesn't matter if you don't achieve them as these targets are ongoing and in some cases could take years to achieve. At the rate I am growing and the amount the community is staking next year I may have 25K LP but the stake required for a 1 Leo vote value will no doubt be over 40KLP. Not a bad thing really as you are growing your stake at a decent rate and this tells you the community is staking more and not dumping on the market. More locked up stake means less hitting the exchanges which should in theory increase the price.
The one good habit Hive has taught most of us and that is to grow ones stake whether it is on Hive or the community second layer tokens like Leo. One day these should be worth some real dollar value and the more you have the better off you will be. Leo at 7c is no time to sell and quite the opposite it is fill your bags time. Who can forget when Leo was worth more than Hive and quite a bit more if memory serves me well.
