RE: Are Investors Looking At What Happens On STEEM?

Here is how investor could expect as passive return:

Curating - the expected return here is around 6%-8%

Lending - return variable, but I see it floating between 8%-13% yearly

The catch: inflation. Today there is a inflation rate of 8.59%.

This means the real passive ROI would be between -2.59%-4.41, Wich it isn't really attractive, because you can easily find low-risk investment 8% yearly return investments inside and outside cripto space.

Interesting here is that curation functions as a way to fight inflation.

The other way of having a positive ROI is the the token price appreciation, Wich can only happen if there is demand increase, but as we can see in some statistics, this isn't happening (no increase in new users/blockchain activities)

So, yeah. Steem is a bad investment. High risk, low return.
