Why Post On Hive Now Is Better Than Beginning of The Year?

On average daily post earnings I have by $ value dropped about 1/2 to 3/4 of what I was earning even just a little more than one month ago. One of the causes is my lack of posting consistently as now I tend to do one post a day rather than two or three in prior months. However I am here to say in times of Hive price falling it is best to be writing and curating on Hive than ever before. Why?

More Rewards!

Lets do a basic arithmetic example of why low Hive prices yields more rewards? For instance a post has $10 in post rewards at the end of the 7th day the rewards are distributed to post author and curation. By default it is a 50/50 split. Furthermore author's share of the reward is 50% HBD and 50% HP. While curators have 50% of the reward in HP with proportion of curator's HP when performing up-vote. The more reward part is dependent on the price of Hive.

If Hive is priced $1 at time of post rewards the author will receive equivalent of $5 in total. It composes of $2.5 in HBD and $2.5 in HP. That would equate to 2.5 HP. On the other hand if Hive price is $0.50 the rewards would be $2.5 in HBD and 5 HP. Compare the two the lower Hive price means the more HP earned per post rewards.

The example comparison made above is over simplifying the numbers but it illustrates clearly the benefits of earning more HP while price of Hive is lower. In reality as Hive price rises so will the $ upvote which in turn will yield more $ HBD and less HP.

To help determine current Hive price you can check out hiveblocks.com which lists all current activities on the Hive chain and what the current witness has Hive feed price as.

Conclusions

If you are still confused with all that was discussed forgive me as I am not very good at explaining. What I can do is summarize in short here what I am getting at. Although posts now are earning less $ compare to a month or more ago it is not as bad as it seems. This is because we are earning more Hive power when we receive our rewards because Hive price is lower. In turn on days when Hive price one day is over $1.00 again the same upvotes will yield more HBD but less Hive power. So we want to earn as much Hive as we can now because long term we will likely see Hive go over $1.00 again.
