How A Smaller Accounts Can Make An Impact Upon Hive

avatar

The power of the smaller accounts on Hive is truly underappreciated. When dealing with influence, it is easy to get overwhelmed by the raw numbers. The focus is always upon whales, major upvotes, and their behavior. However, there is another set of numbers that can equally be as powerful.

It is due to this that we can see shifts happen if people would understand and apply a few simple concepts. When concentrating on growth, situations can be changed in a stark manner. This is something we need to highlight.

Have you ever noticed that, when discussing financial matters such as APR, it is always expressed as a percentage? Why is that? How come we see people talking about the percentage that Warren Buffett and Bershire did last year instead of how much money it was?

This is a vital point to understand. We will delve into this in a bit.

Varying HBD APRs

Let us conduct a thought experiment for a moment.

How much different would things look if we established varying APRs on the Hive Backed Dollar (HBD) based upon account size? Wouldn't that be an interesting way to make things "fair"? After all, those large accounts do not deserve to make that much money, or so the thinking goes.

Consider how this would look. If an account has over, say 250K HP, that would only earn 15% APR on HBD in Savings. Anything from the 50K-250K level could receive 20%. Now is where things gets interesting.

We could set the 10K-50K level at 30%. After that, 5K-10K gets 35%. Those with 1K to 5K might get 40%. And what the heck, let us give those with under 1K 50% APR.

Now, let us take this thinking one step further. What if we really boosted the lower levels?

How about a system where 500-1000 paid out an APR of 300% and anything under 500 was granted 500%?

Imagine if this system actually existed. How would it function? Certainly, something like this would change things over a period of time. After all, those with little can get outrageous returns as compared to the larger accounts.

Here is the most surprising part: this system already exists on Hive. Instead of focusing upon HBD, we need to look at Hive Power.

380% Return

Would anyone like to get a 380% APR? How would that make you feel? It is reasonable that any of us would love to have this.

There is one who started monitoring her progress based upon the above-linked article. She noted what took place since February 1st of this year. As of yesterday, her account experienced a return of 380% in a quarter. On an annualized basis, that is over a 1,500% return.

Here is the progression @littlebee4 made:

hivepower.png

We have an account that had 265 HP at the start of February and it opens May with 1,275. That is some serious growth.

Over the last month, this is what we see:

Can you imagine having an account that goes almost 5x in a quarter. That would be 20x growth for the year. Obviously, the next 9 months will be more difficult to experience a similar growth rate since the numbers are larger.

And that is the crux of the entire discussion.

Smaller accounts can gain a much higher APR as compared to their larger counterparts due to the raw numbers. It is near impossible for a 1 million HP account to have a 5x in a quarter without a lot of money entering. The idea of a 20x at that level is absurd for most.

Yet here we have a rather obscure account doing it.

Going back to the thought exercise, why do we not apply this same principle to HP as we were doing to HBD? Part of the answer might come from the fact that the achievement here was due to effort. It was the activity that caused the HP to increase. It is not a completely passive situation.

The second reason is simply that people are not thinking about things in these terms. With HBD we see the APR and go crazy when it was changed to 20%. Yet, when it comes to Hive Power, people look at it simple as raw numbers.

That is akin to us ignoring the 15% return Buffett made and instead, focusing upon the fact he made $15 billion or whatever. If someone else has a portfolio of $10,000 and earned 60%, that would crush Buffett. Using the raw numbers, however, would lead to a different conclusion. Buffett making $7K on his portfolio would be a total failure for the year.

Nevertheless, that is how we like to compare HP on Hive.

The Power Of Smaller Accounts

The reality is smaller accounts can far outpace the large ones in ROI. As shown, a 5x can happen rather quickly. This account, if she continues over the next 9 months could see a 800%-1000% growth rate for the year. Would anyone complain about that?

We have another factor to consider. HP on Hive carries influence. Since it is the governance token as well as being used for the distribution of the reward pool, when a move like this is made, it gain a great deal more influence as compared to where it was before. This is another overlooked situation.

Here is where the power of numbers come in. Isolating a single account means very little in the overall picture. That said, what if there were 1,000 accounts that made this same move over the past 3 months? We would have 1K more Minnows as compared to the start of the process.

It is through this that we can see the collective change. Let us look at this account again to see where it might be in 3 months.

Since there was an increase in HP of 1,010 over that period, we will presume a similar added over the next 3 months. That would give the account 2,285 by August first. This from a start of 265 on February 1st.

For the quarter, it would be a 79% growth rate, far lower from the previous timeframe. Here we can see how it gets more difficult as the raw numbers grow. Nevertheless, that is still more than an 8x of the account. This is a very good return for 6 months.

If people would focus upon Hive Power and concentrate on the return one can get there, it is easy to see how the 20% payout on HBD can be dwarfed. The key is that the increase in HP can come most from activity. People are able to concentrate upon building both at the same time.

This is the power of smaller accounts. They can grow at a much faster pace than their larger counterparts. Where the question comes in is with numbers. If there were 10,000 accounts experiencing a quarterly growth rate of 50% or 60%, the change in just 24 months would be enormous.

What are your thought? What type of growth rate do you have on your Hive account? Are you ready to increase it and follow what @littlebee4 did?

Whoever is directly controlling the V2K told me to kill myself.
They told me if I killed myself now it would save the lives of countless others.
Saying the longer I wait to kill myself the more people will suffer.


They are reckless and should have shown the proper media what they had before taking me hostage for 5 years. I know there are many in prison that dont deserve to be there because of this. Your stay in prison will not be fun @battleaxe and friends. People are going to want you dead when they find out what you did. I hope you die a slow painful death. You sick mother fuckers.

Its a terrorist act on American soil while some say its not real or Im a mental case. Many know its real. This is an ignored detrimental to humanity domestic and foreign threat. Ask informed soldiers in the American military what their oath is and tell them about the day you asked me why. Nobody has I guess. Maybe someone told ill informed soldiers they cant protect America from military leaders in control with ill intent. How do we protect locked up soldiers from telling the truth?

There was a challenge to get the Minnows over 10K. Sadly, that didnt succeed since there were a lot who powered down.

We need about 25K Minnows to really be seeing a difference.

I have probably brought in something around those numbers as well, in the past. I think 2 or 3 of them are still active. The others gave up after one or two weeks. Things where different during those times though, but still..

As long as you educate them well, and they understand the importance of putting in effort, hard work and time, they'll reach some sort of success with time.

To an extent most small account holders are usually discouraged with probably less upvotes, but they don't know the power they carry on the hive blockchain.

This is why we need more whales posting more about how awesome hive is on hive and using an exception instead of 'the rule' to promote the Hype of that one exception, while they mentioned in passing that focusing on one account "means very little in the big picture" after which he goes on speculating about this one exception, so try and say that he doesn't consider the bigger picture when he explicitly said so but did nothing of the sort.

I was looking at the APR to Hive power at 2.86% the other day and was curious on its growth rate but I ended putting the thought aside, I do however notice the rate at which my HP is growing and it is fascinating, my conclusion was because of the delegations, curations and author rewards.

It is interesting to see 380% growth in 4 months littlebee4 must be doing exceptionally well in putting in the effort for such growth. This I think should be taken as a motivation for us all to keep putting in the effort.

I honestly never thought about these comparison but you’re right about that. We totally ignore the amount of return we get In Hp when we put in hard work on acccout.

However, I think if the mechanism you suggested for the Hbd Savings is implemented, lager accounts would have alts accounts to benefit in the High payouts. This can’t happen when we reason it for Hp because hard work is needed to earn it.

Without entering a wrong versus right debate, differentiated APRs based on the size of the account could make sense in a system with one-account-one-person. Or at least where account associations are known or verifiable.

On Hive, this isn't the case. A person with a huge account can break it down in as many alt accounts as desired to take advantage of the higher APR.

So you are saying a whale, with more than 500K could break it up, say 100K, and get 50K off that second account?

Of are you saying the whale could make an account of 5000, and get another 2500? That certainly could happen but what does that do for the overall ROI?

2500/500K is not very large.

That is true and many have a variety of accounts. But how many are breaking it up into 30 accounts and posting out of them?

So you are saying that someone with a lot of accounts could break them up and get the APR by working the multitude of accounts?

How would that work?

You were proposing differentiated APR for HBD in savings, based on the amount of HP the account has, and that doesn't require any work apart from splitting the HBD in alts.

For HP, not sure how differentiated APR would work. Based on what? But I agree (from the experience of working with only a few accounts at most, and for different purposes), that if one has to grow each account actively, this isn't working, because time is finite.

I go with this point and I'll also add that proof of stake can also influence the APRs when people don't maintain one account per individual.

A person with proof of stake has a competitive advantage in terms of making decisions in matters concerning the APR variations.

Thanks for this unique point.

I wasn't pleading that such a system would be good for Hive. In fact I don't like KYC and I try to avoid it as much as possible.

Yes, votes are stake-weighted, both for governance and for rewards, and I believe it's good that they are so. But unlike simple POS, DPOS is more flexible in my opinion.

I talked in the past about one-account, one-vote model. You might want to see what I had to say about it.

How would you know if someone has a network of alts if that person knows what he's doing and doesn't link them to his public / main account(s) through Hive?

I'm not saying this is right. This would obviously be abuse. But the differentiated APR would incentivize it.

Plus, in this case, I think many would do it in the open, as a disagreement to the differentiation introduced that is against their interests.

Well, let's look at things this way. Over the past whatever number of months (I don't remember how many) the total stake of whale accounts grew from around 43-44% to 49-50%. All other categories lost in total stake percentage. Do you think they would allow someone with nearly no involvement or track record around here to earn a higher APR on HBD than they would? Differentiated APR on HBD based on stake will either not exist (most likely), or it will be abused in plain sight.

The growth of @littlebee4's account has been amazing and a clear example of how commitment on Hive as anywhere else brings great returns.

Another example of big growth in Hive is the account of my friend @ifarmgirl, who in one year has achieved some numbers in HP and a reputation not negligible and has been a great inspiration to start my journey in Leofinance.

I for one have made it a priority to grow my HP since I started on Hive. And until last month, I focused on powering up all the rewards. However in April for the first time, I saved something in HBD savings.

But I agree that small accounts have the highest growth potential in relative terms, and it would be important for redfish to understand this. It makes a big difference. As well as having an engagement. And join the power up initiatives that can also give us delegation prizes that I at least, benefited from and that helped my growth.

I intend to continue consolidating my account as much as possible in the coming months. So let's see what the future hold.

Have a good week!

If 5,000 redfish doubled their accounts in the next month, on average, that would be a powerful starting point. We could see that as a basis for building.

However, few look at that.

And congratulations on getting into the HBD savings game. A smart move. Nothing wrong with setting a baseline return and 20% is nothing to snicker at.

Thank you for highlighting @iamfarmgirl. She is doing well from what I can see based upon her commenting.

The problem is that many of the people who come to Hive come with the idea of earning extra income immediately, so many get frustrated and leave. Few see it for what it is - a medium to a long-term project that offers endless possibilities and can make a huge difference to our finances in the future.

This is a big mistake. Comparing ourselves with others only leads to frustration in most cases. The years have taught me that the best thing we can do is to challenge ourselves to better ourselves.

And on the other hand, looking at the accounts of more established users and comparing them to those of someone new, although many do it, makes no sense at all as they are ignoring all the effort and dedication that established user has put to get where they are. So it is to be expected that someone who intends to compare themselves in this way from the outset will end up giving up. And perhaps that's the best thing for all of us that see this as a long term project.

Yeah, comparing ourselves or our results with others tends to lead to misery and anxiety. It's often discouraging instead of encouraging, which ultimately can lead to giving up because things aren't "fair" and whatever things you can come up with.

I cant argue with this. It is true that is the mindset of most unfortunately. However, if they have 20 HP, try to get to 30 then 40.

This can be done with commenting alone.

Sadly, few look at it like that.

If 5,000 redfish doubled their accounts in the next month, on average, that would be a powerful starting point. We could see that as a basis for building.

That would be an amazing achievement for the entire blockchain. One would need a lot of curators putting in time and effort to reward both posts and engagement for that to happen.

Yes it would be. It is also unrealistic because we both know that many people are not going to take the dedicated approach.

Alas, that is why some who now has smaller accounts like @littlebee4 are not going to be there forever. She is going to keep growing it, at a strong rate and end up scaling higher. Most will not do the same.

The point of this is what she is doing is nothing special. She just shows up and engaged. The results speak for themselves.

Everyone who does this will get similar results. Growth is guaranteed. The only difference is the pace of it.

Yes, that’s it. Showing up everyday. Be dedicated and think of the long term.

I understand not many can (due to many other factors) or will want to do just that. But that is ok.
If you (accounts small or large) are here and will engage, you will grow, and everybody will do that at their own pace.

But I agree that small accounts have the highest growth potential in relative terms, and it would be important for redfish to understand this.

The smaller accounts is what can- and will have the most impact overall, so they are vital for growth in general.

Imagine 1000 users with 100 Hive teaming up, upvoting and making comments compared to having one larger account with 100K Hive making comments and upvotes..

The lesser accounts are able to "spread the wealth" far wider and can increase the overall engagement immensely.

I think the APR analogy should be reserved for situations when you let your HP do the work ( inflation + curation via a voting trail ) without any input whatsoever. If you grow your account by actively posting, commenting, etc then it's more like getting paid for your time than a return on an investment.

What type of growth rate do you have on your Hive account?

115.84 Hive Power and $96.28 HBD in the previous 30 days. Probably not bad for a smaller account (nowadays I have around 1630 Hive Power), but also not huge.

Oh indeed I am on 565HP right now. So legit a Minnow haha.

I did some calculations. It took me 3 months to go from 313HP to 400HP. It then took 30 to 31 days to go from 400HP to 500HP.

With my current pending payouts I will reach 600HP for a total of 18 days between the two.

So yeah, I do think I am doing something right!

Now, I do NOT expect this to grow at the same rate but if I just keep adding 100HP each month from here forward then I will reach 1300HP by the end of the year! Phenomenal!

Smaller accounts can look at this from the growth perspective and really outpace larger ones. This is going to make a radical difference if thousands of them do it.

We will see how many decide to look at things in this manner. My guess is that it will show up in the amount of commenting done. If it increases significantly then we know we hit home.

It is a very powerful approach. If all small accounts published at 100% HP, it would be more impressive, because they would ultimately be earning the same in net total and a hell of a lot more in percentage.

That might be true but there are advantages to doing 50/50 and getting oneself some HBD. I never fault anyone for going that route.

However, the point of your comment holds. The emphasis on smaller accounts needs to take place. We need to show them that others are, as a percentage, massively increasing their stake. This gives them, as a whole, a larger say in what goes on.

This is very true. The extra income gained through engagement can make a big impact early on. A 10% return on 6000 is 50 a month. Getting that is possible with engagement. And this is a MASSIVE boost to any account. It is like saying you had assets of 6000 generating that return passively.

If people would focus upon Hive Power and concentrate on the return one can get there, it is easy to see how the 20% payout on HBD can be dwarfed. The key is that the increase in HP can come most from activity. People are able to concentrate upon building both at the same time.

Before now, I never really paid attention to HP,I have always been fixated on HBD, that I never bothered to power up since joining Hive. This article makes me see things differently now. Thank you for such an enlightening post.

That variable HBD interest would get abused by people creating lots of accounts, but I understand it was hypothetical. Small accounts can grow quickly if they make use of the various ways to earn. A few good votes could make them much more than they earn on HBD in a year. I think they should look to power up at least part of what they make. Bigger accounts do get more respect as it shows you care about and have faith in Hive.

My own account is growing fairly slow, but I can still hope for 15% over a year even without HBD savings. That excludes what I make from the games, which mostly gets compounded. I do plan to take some out to fiat to pay for a few treats. I think I deserve that.

Small accounts should not be too focused on getting whale votes as those are rare and there's a lot of competition. If you can build a loyal following of smaller accounts the votes will add up. I always say engagement is key.

All good suggestions and yes it was an absurd hypothetical to drive home a point.

It is a good idea for people to focus upon gaining a following which they can start to build a "brand" around. That is how growth takes place.

How much different would things look if we established varying APRs on the Hive Backed Dollar (HBD) based upon account size? Wouldn't that be an interesting way to make things "fair"? After all, those large accounts do not deserve to make that much money, or so the thinking goes.

From an analytical standpoint, most people (hivers) measure their progress on the blockchain with the total amount of money they make as well as upvotes they get and not in proportionate to the percentage it covers, so if we want to follow this paradigm, then I think big accounts are envied by small account holders.

This is the power of smaller accounts. They can grow at a much faster pace than their larger counterparts. Where the question comes in is with numbers. If there were 10,000 accounts experiencing a quarterly growth rate of 50% or 60%, the change in just 24 months would be enormous.

You're completely right in your analysis and smaller accounts are making significant progress more than larger when calculated by their percentages when placed side-by-side.

Thanks for sharing this revelation.

I agree that people do look at things in raw numbers, at least when it comes to HP. But isnt it interesting the APR (percentage) of HBD got everyone excited. So they apply one to HBD while looking at raw numbers on HP.

It is vital to always look at the percentage and the growth/ROI. If it is large enough, for long enough, eventually small will become large.

Well a lot of her growth came from activity so it is a bit different from HBD. Yes we have to decide whether to go after HBD or HP especially in the reward payouts. So it is a matter of focus.

But HP should not be overlooked at all.

Smaller accounts can gain a much higher APR as compared to their larger counterparts due to the raw numbers.

I was about suggesting that if the APR % of curation reward was higher it would be different. It dawned on me that, if the APR % is higher it will also significantly affect the smaller accounts, so any way you want to analyze it, you are right.

I will have to analyze my account next and create a post on it to see how much my account has grown.

For what?

Creating more accounts and spreading HP around doesnt get them a higher return in total. They might do well in their secondary accounts yet will have a tough time sustaining it across so many. Plus when you look at the total, it doesnt work out to higher amounts.

If you make small accounts that get the max return it would give you a better return. 10 accounts at 100% each would be better than 1 at 20%.

How are you going to get 100% growth in 10 accounts as opposed to 20% in one?

To start, a large HP account isnt going to get 20%. But using just these as examples, you are not going to get that type of return because you post and curate in that many.

HP is the core of Hive. This is something that often gets overlooked. It is governance (witness/proposal voting) along with directing of the reward pool.

All smaller accounts should look at 2x-3x their account if possible. That should be a minimum.

Yeah, I've been thinking about doing that in the near-ish future. I want to delegate nice round numbers, so I'll probably wait until I've earned ~300 more Hive or so before I do it.. The first goal is to reach 5K LEO though, so I need ~700 LEO more.

We certainly do want smaller accounts growing at a faster rate. That is how it should be. If people follow @littlebee4 example, and get hundreds of percent growth, that is going to give them more influence.

It is impossible for a larger account to grow anywhere near the same pace. An account with 200K HP is not likely to get to 400K.

Yet an account with 500HP can reach 2000HP in a year. That is a 4X.

Yes and that's what got me excited when I set a goal to grow my account. I had 288HP on January 1st and it grew to 1200+ on March 1st and to what it is now.

But one of the challenges that newer and smaller accounts face is when our posts don't get curated then our accounts' growth will be very slow. I think that is one factor that discourages some to keep on.

After all, those large accounts do not deserve to make that much money, or so the thinking goes.

In crypto space, I hope that this kind of mindset will change.

As far as % growth of a particular account is concerned, smaller accounts have an advantage over bigger accounts. However, when it comes to returns in terms of actual amount, there is no way for small accounts to surpass those with bigger accounts. That is why long-term perspective and gradual capital accumulation are very important in wealth-building. I remember a popular saying in the stock market that goes something like this: "I would rather have a 1% ROI of 1M shares rather than a 50% ROI of 1,000 shares of the same stock."

i still fail to see the incentive for what you desperately need growth when the percentages are so low in comparison to successful projects. They all have the same thing in common. Ridiculou growth rates. Btc and eth you talking reaching heights of 7,000,0000% Only project around this ecosystem that can dream of numbers like that would be bitcoin myk, lol. To get the kinda growth you need it's gotta be a high growth gimmick at this point i don't think crypto is really attracting conservative investors. these are more like high stakes gamblers, lol. So that's the systems that will experience that growth.

it's actually the higher risk cryptos that will perform the best go next level or die in the fire

Thankfully there are no shortcuts on HIVE and this is what brings the true value. HIVE is only going to get harder to earn as the years tick by which is a good thing really and why smaller accounts need to be busier than anyone else. We all started here and HIVE is easier to get traction now than 4 years ago.
I think the smaller accounts need to understand the growth potential they all have and to break the growth down. The first 12 months is the hardest but also the most rewarding time.

That is all true. The difference now is we have a lot of options in terms of rewards, something that did not exist a few years ago.

While it is terrific, it can also shift the focus away from HP. This is still crucial to the operation of the ecosystem and smaller account need to not overlook it. As @littlebee4 showed, it is possible to grow one's account very well.

You so need the HP to grow, just to be able to move around freely. Without it, you can’t do much.

Fact is, Hive needs more users, and I am sure Ragnarok will bring in a lot. But most of them will only be here for the game. So this kind of idea isn't that bad at all. In my opinion, this could be implemented easier into the curation curve, where smaller accounts get bigger curation rewards for their vote. Percentage wise of course... This would be a lot more interesting for them, and would encourage them to stick around more.

The problem with that is most will end up setting up multiple accounts. The fact is that we already have a system with Hive Power whereby, as a percentage, the smaller accounts can experience faster growth rates.

Yes we need more users which then could shift things a great deal if many are getting HP rewards. It all comes down to how they enter the ecosystem.

This is a lucrative strategy but it obviously at the risk of a user's reputation.

Just like you said in one of the comments that it will be difficult for the user to be discovered if he doesn't link the accounts together and that is true but I still believe that this should better work for one with plans of not staying long on Hive. Before one with big goals, mainintaining one account and building the reputation is best.

I'd be delighted to gain 380% APR on my account as it stands.

That would be a huge result for the year but i think that it would take about 1000 comments a day combined with multiple posts and even then it would be a stretch.

The real target is 50% for the year and that is including external sources to top up the balance over the next 9 months.

It is not possible for all accounts. It is going to be hard for her to duplicate that the next 5-6 months as her account is now at a much higher place than it was when she started.

Not knowing you personally, I would recommend setting a goal of like 15 comments per day or something like that. It's usually a better idea (in my opinion) to set lower goals and hit them rather than setting high goals and miss them.

Once you consistently hit your goal of X amount of comments per day, increase them slightly for another 2 weeks or something.

Also, a good idea is to engage with users who actually responds to comments. Unfortunately, not all content creators on Hive replies back, so your comment might end up being "meaningless" in the sense that it's not giving you any type of recognition. As a smaller account, a new user etc. one of the best ways for growth is to put your name out there for others to see.

While an article can work really well, it's often being overlooked due to how much content there is being published. By creating comments on other people's content instead, you'll slowly build your reputation, audience and stake as well, due to the rewards you'll earn.

Oh, and "nice post" type of comments obviously doesn't work. You need to add something meaningful to the content, ask questions about the content so it shows that you've actually read the content or things like that.

Do those things and you'll quickly see great results. :)

haha yeah. I'm a personal trainer and coach. You're dead on with the lower, but still meaningful, goals. I read you and others saying 500 so I just chopped that way down to 200 but right after I hit send I did that math and realized that's way too much for me too. 15 sounds like a possible and meaningful starting number.

I think my biggest problem is that I often just disagree with the popular narratives which means my comments are often counter-narratives. I always shoot for respectful but after a few back and forths with someone, even when we are both sides respectful, I often notice my comments on their future articles are ignored (even if I agree with that article) and they also stop coming around to my content.

It is my overall activity on so many levels that gained me my growth rate. The reblogs don’t do much, they are just nice to share in more communities as I have so many disciplines at the same time in one post.

Oh ok. I've seen people say that reblogging other people's content is a great way to get rewards but I've never seen anyone clarify how. It seems like that's probably just a misconception or I misunderstood something along the way.

This is how I understand it @imno 😊
When you reblog somebody else’s post it doesn’t get you extra rewards. But it helps the community (a larger audience) see good posts.
People that reblog, tend to think those posts are worth it, have a good quality and more should see it, it pops up in new again or your friends list. It helps everybody.
If I do it with other people’s posts, they are more likely to do it with mine. If they are good posts of course. And you are engaging with them. Comment on comments etc etc.

It is not only take take take… you have to give too.
As it is one community.

What about the "welcome interest"? Newcomers have higher APR for HBD for a limited time.(Let's say for one or two months) It is an efficient method for acquiring new users. If we combine it with the different tiers you mentioned, it can be more powerful and thus more cost-efficient.
