What is the best choice to make at the moment? 

100% power up or 50/50?

Maybe it would be best if I explain what I am aiming for.

When I blog I usually go 50/50. 

Once I get my pay out I go to the market and trade in my SBD to get Steem.

At the moment for my $7.238 will get me 5.051 steem.

Now a post I did over a week ago made $0.94 on the 50/50 (o.4SBD/ 0.354 SP)

Now if I go to the market and trade in 0.4SBD the market offers me just 0.28 Steem. 

My aim at the moment is not cashing in but powering up.

So I need some advice...

With SBD/STEEM at 1.43.. will I get more SP by avoiding the market and just going 100% on all my post.

Or is the fact the market is low means, it's the perfect time to be using the market to trade for SP?


I hope someone will answer, but if not I am doing an experiment. 

My first post of the day I went 100% and this post I plan to go 50/50. We will see what happens.

I've only ever used 100% when the steem price was really low (at under $0.20) as yougot far more steem power for your rewards. In general 50/50 is the best option and just hold onto your SBD and let it build up some and the value increase to back over a $1 USD.

Thank you :)

I always do 50/50. I bought steem a week ago felt like i'd chucked it down the drain :-( but I don't understand it much to be honest.

According to a user jerry banfield, 50/50 gives more than 36% more. So my advice is stick to it too.

if you need money for living, use 50/50, else use 100sp and make investments in Steems
