As some of you might have noticed, I haven't been posting for some days now. While I try to do a new and interesting post every two or three days, these last few days I've been a little more busy, but another big factor is the low Return of Investment (ROI) when using Steem Bots.
I don't have many subscribers and I don't get a lot of views, so my only chance is investing in bots. I try to invest in a smart way, carefully, but lately, with the constant drop in value of the STEEM and SDB, past payouts simply are not enough. Doing the math, from the value of an article, you have to take about 25% for curators. The rest is split 50/50 between SBD and Steem Power. But what allows me to keep investing/using bots, is purely the SBD. If I keep investing a certain amount of SBD and the SBD that I get in a payout is inferior, then I consider the ROI negative, because in the long run I'll run out of SBD to invest in my articles. Makes sense right?
Let's face it, we are all here not only for the content but also for the cryptocurrency. While I do have my voting power delegated to two bots, the amount of SBD I get is minimal. When the market value of SBD drops, the payout from an article drops too, and right now STEEM and SBD are simply too low. So I'm kinda saving myself for when their market value rises a bit.
So, If by any chance you are a regular reader and follow me, to you I apologize for my lack of posting, but I've been a little more busy than usual and SBD investments in bots, for me, are not a smart option right now. The content will keep coming, but at a slower pace. But I believe that eventually STEEM and SBD market value will increase and when that happens I'll feel more compelled to post more frequently. Until my next post... Cheers! ^^
