Curation rewards do not depend on the number of users at all, which is why now is the best time to accumulate stake by earning author rewards.

This is why I bought 10000+ LEO when I noticed LEO was going up a little over a couple of months ago. My only regret was that I was too slow to react to make my purchase a couple of weeks earlier. My stake would be double the amount it is now.

Even if I only managed to grow my stake to 20,000 LP in the next 12 months, it would be worth $20,000 at $1 LEO and the curation rewards would amount to thousands of dollars per year. With LEO at $10, I might be able to make a living just by reading and upvoting posts and comments on LeoFinance. 10 per day at $10 LEO would mean $100 a day earned.
