If you have asked this question thousand times and still don't know the answer exactly, let me explain it in the simplest way:
let's do a math. imagine we have posted something and we have $100 payout pending. now, before you go out and get something nice for yourself with that money, let's see:
how much money is it really, if you have set your blog post rewards on:
and if you have just wondered where you have answered such question, here is it:
all the way down to preferences:
here are the two pills! red or blue?
back to our math peoblem.
how much is 100$ pending payout, if we have asked for 100% power up?
75% × 100 = 75 STEEM as SP in your wallet
which will be 75 × 0.63 = $47.25
according to price of STEEM, right now.
how much is 100$ pending payout, if we have asked for 50% SBD / 50% SP?
75% × 100 ÷ 2 = 37.5 SBD & 37.5 SP
37.5 SBD = 0.93 × 37.5 = $34.875
37.5 SP = 0.63 × 37.5 = $23.625
total payout = 23.625 + 34.875 = $58.5
So, if you set on 100% SP, you will lose money!
but what if the price of STEEM and SBD changes?
Imagine the holy STEEM goes up to $2 level (sighhhhh and fingers crossed! wel it was 6 when I started blogging here!)
now let's do the math again:
how much is 100$ pending payout, if we have asked for 100% power up?
75% × 100 = 75 STEEM as SP
75 × 2 = $150
how much is 100$ pending payout, if we have asked for 50% SBD / 50% SP?
75% × 100 ÷ 2 = 37.5 SBD & 37.5 SP
37.5 SBD = 1 × 37.5 = $37.5
37.5 SP = 2 × 37.5 = $75
total payout = 37.5 + 75 = $112.5
so this time you will lose if you have set the preference on 50-50
The qustion is which one is gretaer.
if STEEM > SBD then it will be better if you set your earnings on 100% power up
but if it's the other way, go for 50-50
now get back to work and earn some real money and become a dolphine before prices moon!
P.S. in both cases, there would be a curation reward if you have voted your own post, which I didn't calculate it.
