LBI and POOLs provide me with enough LEO for LPUD.
In my last Leo Power up Day challenge, I have powered up 3000 LEO and I have depleted all of my LEO liquid holding. At first I was not thinking of doing power upwith all 3000 LEO but instead thought of going 500 Leo powerup per month and keep my earned liquid LEO with me to sponsor my Powerup for atleast 6+ month, until I use up all my 3000 Liquid LEO in that time period. I am not sure that how Leo Scot bot is running in Hive-engine or Khal might got customized , it do not show Leo earning for curation + Author rewards for an individual post or comment. Instead it give tokens at end of the day for token earned in a day as a single transaction, with no breakup.
This transaction posting does not help me to understand that how much I earned from curation ( almost passive income) and how much I am earning from my author rewards (require effort and an active activity.) Since Author rewards require effort and I cannot control how much LEO it can generate, I am not considering it for generating liquid LEO for me for power up.
Please find the screenshot of the LEO token received by TOKEN Contract, get the tokens once in a day and no breakup information.
LBI in the equation.
LBI when started, it meant "Leo Backed Investment" and to be backed by the Leo assets only, but in current state it is now backed by a number of assets including LEO. LBI dividends
payments are still in the LEO though it has assets outside Hive ecosystem also.As you already see inthe above screenshot that I received 10+ LEO by @lbi-payments as weekly dividends from the project, for which they publish their weekly report from account @lbi-token.
The amount of LEO earned in dividends can keep changing, based on the weekly earnings of the project and the market price of the LEO but in the current trend, I analyzed past transactions, I see I am getting an average of 8+ LEO or more in a week. Now it easily makes 32 LEO per month passively but I am still short of 18 LEO of 50 LEO. (50 LEO is the minimum amount of LEO to be powered to be considered on draw along with other eligibility conditions.)
Enter Cent:LEO pool in the equation.
I have put some little amount of LEO in the CENT:LEO pool and it give me 24 Cents and .012 LEO as rewards. I the current time 24 CENTS can be swapped for 1.1 LEO , or let round off to 1 LEO for better calculation. It means Pool is giving me 30 LEO monthly.
Again, this is not guaranteed forever as POOL rewards will end and rewards are inversely proportional to the total liquidity in the pool, so this can decrease with time.
All set for now.
Since I am aggressively pursuing my Hive Power Goals so I rarely spending my money anything other than HIVE. At current scenario POOL and LBI gives me more than 50 LEO.
Also I know that both of these income are not guaranteed to give me 50+ LEO per month in coming days. My plan is currently simple, that I will go with bare minimum LEO for LEO powerup, save up the excess to continue my powerup spree for the tough time (if it comes) and if all is good, then someday I can again do a mega powerup of 1000+ LEO to improve my ranking position and march towards to pride rank of the "Leader of the Pack".
My 2 cents.
I thought many times to get out of LBI in past and put everything directly in LEO or Hive when LBI is running with no dividends. Current state of LBI is good for me, and how LBI operates because in current scenario, I hold close to 2.8% of LBI token available in circulation. At current market price 1 LBI is worth 7.5 LEO, and in terms of LEO token,
my share is worth more than 35000 LEO, when added with my 15000 LEO, I easily cross 50K LEO or get the pride rank of "Leader of the Pack".
So even though I am not very actively look how things going on the projects based on Hive but for few of my investment it really matters,
Hope to get good LEO income and some serious value increase in LEO in the coming days, till then I will keep staking and building my Liquid LEO surplus and wait for the right opportunity to do some big power up or get some profits.
