The Power Of Smaller Accounts On Hive

avatar

It is easy to fall victim to looking at the larger accounts and all the power they have. When we do this, we are not realizing the potential impact that each person can make.

A great deal of what we discuss comes down to a numbers game. Hive is really a microcosm of a much larger system. The ability to understand this is what can radically alter the path we are taking.

When we look at the existing system, it seems insurmountable. Decades were spent constructing this system, one that is well insulated against outside attack. If this is all we focus upon, we could be paralyzed.

However, if we look at things in proportion to the impact that can be made, we see a completely different story. While, overall, the cryptocurrency industry is very small, it is growing at a fantastic rate. There is no doubt that growth from the major economies is stunted. The last couple decades saw most of the major economies drop under 4%. The EU and Japan are basically flat. We see the United States quickly heading in that direction and even China is slowing.

This provides enormous opportunity for cryptocurrency, a digitally-based economy that is growing at hundreds of percent a year.

Smaller Accounts

On Hive, we see larger accounts and the power they wield. Nevertheless, it is best to step back and consider how everything operates based upon a percentage. Influence is determined by one's holdings in comparison to the overall number of HIVE powered up. Here is where things can change rather quickly.

As stated, it becomes a numbers game. Like anything, a few of anything is going to be outdone by the larger if the latter is focused. This is exactly what is happening with cryptocurrency. With Hive being a microcosm of this, we can apply the same logic.

When the situation with Justin Sun arose, we saw a coming together of many accounts, both large and small. It was a time when the power of the smaller accounts were realized. The obvious impact on an individual level was not great but, collectively, they were making a difference.

It is uplifting to see during a time of crisis. However, it is something that we need to apply other times as well. If we step back, we can see how influence change change over time.

Token distribution on a blockchain like Hive is vital. Since it used the Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) structure, those with stake have a great deal of influence. The key is to spread it out as much as possible. For this reason, the need is more accounts holding greater amounts of HP.

Here is where motivation enters the picture. It is easy to get discouraged, knowing that the influence one has individually is not large. Nevertheless, this is exactly where the focus needs to be. Collectively, smaller accounts are the ones who will end up making the difference. This is something that has to be embraced.

Doubling Account Size

Can you double the size of your account? In other words, can you near double your influence on Hive?

Here is the place where we see size does matter. This is a very realistic possibility for smaller accounts, especially over the period of a year. Larger accounts are going to have difficulty.

For example, it is not easy for an account to go from 1 million to 2 million HP. This is going to require a lot of money if one wants to use fiat to get there. Outside of that, it is almost impossible to reach this goal in 1 year.

The same is not true for an account with 100 HP. The jump from 100 to 200HP is the same percentage, yet is much easier to accomplish. To start, it presently requires roughly $130 to achieve this. If the resources are lacking, then the ability to get rewarded to meet that end does exist.

In investing, the term used is "relative". Here is where one asset is compared to another based upon the percentage move of each. The smaller account can really outpace the larger on relative terms. Where the latter might achieve 10% growth, the former can put over 100%.

We see something interesting when looking at the latest breakdown of MVests (HP).

What will it take in collective increase, on a percentage basis to surpass the next category?

Here is how it breaks down:

Orca 138.5%
Dolphin 33.5%
Minnow 76.47%

Isn't that interesting? The Dolphins and Minnows, collectively, have a much easier time surpassing the category ahead in influence than the Orcas do.

The Dolphins do not have to double their power. Instead, they only require increasing each about by 1/3. This will enable them to collectively have the same influence as all the Orcas.

Of course, graduation from one level to the next can alter the numbers a great deal. Nevertheless, the point here is that, on a relative basis, the smaller accounts can collectively outpace the larger ones.

This is a well-known concept. We see this in the employment arena. For an Amazon or Tesla to add 100,000 new employees is quite a feat. It garners a lot of headlines when that happens. However, for 100,000 small businesses to add 1 employee each goes unnoticed.

Here we see the power of numbers.

Long-Term Impact

It is natural to overlook the impact that is being made when it comes in incremental units. The path to great change is often achieved on a daily basis, in unnoticeable ways. Nevertheless, over the long-term, we can often see the difference.

Let us take a look at the distribution that was present as of 8/1/2017 and see now things changed over the past 4 years. We have to factor in the Whales has the ninja-mined stake which is now locked in the Decentralized Hive Fund (DHF).

mvest812017.png

That is quite a change compared to what we see today. We also have to keep in mind, at that time, the base token was the only game in town. There was no Hive-Engine or layer 2 tokens. Splinterlands or other games were basically non-existent. Instead, people were rewarded in HIVE and that was it.

Here we see how the wealth within the ecosystem grew a great deal. Other projects are enriching users in many different ways. That said, we must not forget how important the base layer token distribution is. A portion of our focus needs to be on HP accumulation, regardless of how small our accounts are. In fact, as we are showing here, it is crucial for smaller accounts to increase the percentage of their holdings.

Smaller accounts have a lot more power than they think simply because there are so many of them. So while a .5 payout of HP is not much in absolute terms, for an account with 100 HP, it is large on a relative scale. Keep getting that payout daily and the account will see a 180% jump over the course of a year.

That is something the larger accounts have a very difficult time doing.

As we can see, the impact over the long-term is there. We simply need to focus attention on what is taking place and how we can keep growing the accounts.

Do not overlook the collective power which exists and how much of a difference smaller accounts can make. It is important for the entire ecosystem.

There certainly is the opportunity for smaller account to really grow their influence. When one is small, on a relative basis, the growth rate, early on, can be enormous.

Yes, it is very difficult for large accounts to double their power. but mid-level accounts are very lucky here. they really easily double the total hp. The situation is difficult for under 60 reputation. Because generally, accounts over 60 reputation are voted. Can you write an article on this topic? Of course, if this has caught your attention,

That is true although I would say that accounts under 60 can get a lot more attention by leaving comments. There are a number of people upvoting comments which increases the reputation score.

There is no doubt that being new is not easy. It takes a lot of effort to achieve success. The mindset, in my view, is approaching it like a business. Each day, push ahead a bit more.

The rep score is a mixed bag. In the past people enhanced it through bid bots. However, now, those are a thing of the past.

Right now, on Leofinance, in the comments, I dont even see rep score so the upvote has nothing to do with that. While it wont help the overall rep much, when I upvote comments it does enhance things a bit.

They are not interested in being social either. They focus only on their own posts. Selfishness and greed is what spoil this platform. When I see the comment section of various posts on the blockchain in general, I almost always see the same people commenting. Only a very few people are very actively commenting. Of course we cannot force people to be social, but being social on a social network can help. If everyone would use this platform, as it is supposed to be used, then this platform would thrive.

Because Hive isn't a social media platform. It's a blogging platform.

That's always been one of the biggest problems with steem/hive (along with centralization of stake, the ninja mine, etc.)... people try to sell it as a social media - but it's just a way for bloggers to have less overhead, and potentially get some ad-free revenue.

i totally agree with you I strongly belive that new account can surpass any old account on a long run especially when one is serious with his/her account where by activities on the account on daily basic is huge it will really help the account to improve on a long run base on numbers on HP too.

I would say on a relative basis this is true, for a very long time. The percent growth rate that a newer account can achieve over the next few years will outpace any of the larger accounts if that person is extremely active and dedicated.

There are a few who are prime example. They are showing the path to achieving much greater heights.

We as curators hold some of the power each and everyone of us and I believe its our job to help those smaller accounts that are getting it right. I'd rather have 100 people doing 1% of the work then one big whale doing it. You also never know what a small account might do later on. I know it feels good to be rewarded for a well written article or for writing up and developing something that improves hive or creates a game on it etc. As more people use hive and have hive in their bags it makes the entire system better but on top of that rewarding for the right type of content is also key. Still thousands if not millions of more people that should be involved with hive and I've pulled in a few great content creators already. With 3spk rolling out soon I see more people from youtube coming over and perhaps even making a viable streaming platform in the future. Would be awesome to see that.

Hi Kenny!

Funny seeing you here. Small world.

You're in control of millions, correct. I have no problem disagreeing with you, correct?

You've simply made it your mission to instill fear within the populace, it seems. You want people to feel small, mentally, and stay there, it seems. That's all. It's your form of mind control, because it's control you crave, it seems.

Anyone who 'agrees' with you gets your support, correct? Then some of you folks convince them to hand over their belongings in the form of stake delegation and voting trails, correct?

Becoming a leader with followers who's voice is controlled. A form of centralization in a decentralized world; ensuring they stay small in the process while those at the top get the lion's share for themselves. So in this scenario if one then decides to go around establishing the great divide, maintaining it, and making poor decisions along the way, the followers accept it without question because their livelihood is at stake (lose support from the tribe/banished). Not far down the road from Jonestown.

People are people here, regardless of whatever label someone wants to stamp on their ass. These labels minnow, dolphin, orca, whale; they mean nothing and do not come equipped with a standardized set of personality traits. There are 'whales' who fear coming out in the open to disagree just as much there are minnows with strong opinions expressed fearlessly. Those qualities existed before they arrived here. A community is comprised of all types, not just your narrowminded viewpoint.

People are free to disagree with anyone. Except for you, it seems.

There is a lot to be optimistic about and I agree with what you are saying. A lot is solved by larger numbers. That is something that is not easy, often being a struggle. The last year saw a massive increase although that was mostly due to Splinterlands (bots?). So the activity on Hive is still rather flat, although with a slow upward tick.

Nevertheless, we just keep plugging along. If some of the people commenting are an indication, we should see some small accounts growing over the next year.

We will see how many stick with it.

As a small account holder I gotta say that trying to grow an account's Hive Power (staked HIVE) is tricky when the majority of earnings need to be spent on things like food, bills and other living expenses. This is especially true when the default split is 50% HP and 50% HBD (which is fine and all) but that plus exchange fees to convert the usually meager earnings into spendable fiat makes the whole endeavor quite discouraging.

Those who are living off their Hive earnings are certainly going to suffer a harder road. We all have circumstances that are unique to us.

I hear ya and agree.

I just wanted to point out that starting from 'zero' and building up (primarily as a content creator) is in no way a straight line from minnow, to dolphin etcetera... and yeah its discouraging from a financial perspective.

Personally, the inherent value of the community and the technology is what makes it 'worthwhile' for myself but for most folks it is a process of discovering (or determining) that value for themselves.

Obviously the more overall staked (Powered Up) HIVE the better off the network is but most folks at an 'entry level' lack an understanding of that.

The ones that see the vision do stick around. But you are right. Adding to the stake of those accounts can have a monumental difference. I tend to hand out a ton of votes to comments. While it doesnt pay a ton (it is above the dust level), it adds up. I noticed that @jfang003 gets most votes out of this account and he rarely does blog posts. Hence he is getting multiple upvotes for comments each day.

It is overlooked and for good reason. The total power, right now, is still rather small, even collectively. However, if people keep advancing up, the potential is for the Dolphins to collectively surpass the Orcas. This is something that will really open some eyes.

So keep growing your Dolphin account. Aim to add at least 35% to your total of where you are now. That will help a great deal.

It sure feels like getting to Minnow status on Hive happened more quickly than getting to Dolphin. I know what I need to do to speed it up though. Either create and curate way more or put in more Fiat. I wasn't putting any in until recently. Now I am dollar cost averaging 50 dollars a month plus whatever upvoting and commenting. Smaller steps are way more manageable.

There is no "feels" about it, that is simply numbers.

The 540 HP level to get to Minnow can happen quicker than the 5040 HP to get to Dolphin. A lot more is required for the later. Of course, the move to Orca is even longer. LOL

But keep at it and keep building. It all compounds on top of each other. Thus, you will get there over time.

Yes I do agree there are a lot more now than before. This makes sense as more rewards are distributed on a weekly basis.

The first major breakthrough will be when the total Dolphin MVests exceed the Orcas. All Dolphins should really be looking to increase their stake. They are the foundation of where we are going.

It all flows, so the more Dolphins we have, the more Minnows get supported. This is vital to the distribution over time.

The TENK Minnow idea was a great one. Of course, to truly be valuable, we need 20K-25K Minnows. That would really alter the distribution.

Alas, we have to start somewhere. Hopefully more Minnows will keep moving up to Dolphin level.

Relativity is often not taken into account and is at the heart of investing. Those who understand it and structure with it in mind, usually make good decisions. Some valid points here, that are not often discussed, wielding power is often at the heart of much motivation.

I compete against myself and look to grow my account at a rate that I am happy with. As long as I keep that growth up, then I am moving forward... and that's what counts. If we are all moving forward and refuse to be stagnant, there will be an even greater effect complimenting Hive and the entire ecosystem.

Unfortunately the current setup of Hive ensures that the couple of whales who hold more tha n 50% of all voting Hive are constantly eating up the most of the creator rewards (not to mention most are witnesses)

This has always been true. This ensures that the VERY centralized stake at the beginning of Steem has stayed almost just as centralized, after close to 6 years.

Not to mention that at this point many of the big whales are on an ideological downvoting campaign, meaning they are removing the rewards from authors AND curators who disagree with them. This has also been happening since the beginning, but there used to be more checks & balances with the whales.

There is no doubt there are some who are abusive in their behavior. Like you said, it is something that was there since the beginning.

However, that does not deter from what I wrote. The smaller accounts, by percentage, can amass power at a much greater rate. When you look at the raw numbers, certainly the whales grow by a lot. But when looking at the percentage, along with the distribution, we do see a change since the beginning.

Putting a lot of focus upon comments can really help alter the landscape.

Yes, as I pointed out in the article I just wrote, these small accounts especially need to focus on growing their HivePower and thus the power of their votes. By doing this they help the entire ecosystem while at the same time, really helping themselves.

And the way to do that is to engage. The more people interact, the wider their impact becomes, and the more they can earn. It's just basic math as so you correctly point out above.

The compounding factor cannot be overlooked. Get busy adding a few HP here and there, something that one will see an impact with. First get to 25 HP so as to be able to interact than grow from there.

Adding to one's voting power can make a radical difference in the return one ultimately gets.

The first major goal should be 550 HP. That is where everyone needs to work towards.

It is a difficult task to achieve at that level. However, to go from 250-500 is not as much of a challenge. There does come a point where doubling one's HP is impossible unless we put a lot of money in.

With the smaller accounts, this is not the case. Activity can double, triple, or even quadruple their accounts in less than a year.

The smaller accounts can make themselves more important by realizing they can grow their influence at a much greater rate than the larger accounts.

This is something that the majority overlook. Investors who understand relative returns will grasp this idea immediately.

I would suggest being consistent and adding all you can to your HP. Keep growing it at a steady but outsized rate. I didnt look at what your HP is but your first major target should be 100 HP. Then 250. Then 550.

After that, keep working the way up the Minnow chain.

Depends upon where you are starting from.

An account with 1 HP could double with just a few well placed comments.

To double an account with 100K HP, it isnt going to happen without either a lot of time or money.

The bigger the account, the harder it is to double. Here is the advantage a lot of smaller accounts have.

I'm taking the strategy of focusing on LEO because as a newer user and low HP HIVER I believe my best path is to become as strong as possible on $LEO. I am still earning rewards on HIVE too as an added bonus. I really like everything the team on LEO is doing and ultimately once I get to 20,000 $LEO I can start channeling my profits back into $HIVE. I plan on earning on CUBDEFI as well so for me , I think this is the right strategy.

One main reason I really like $LEO is the flat voting curve (not sure if thats the proper term). I don't have to worry about voting a post at a certain time rather my curation rewards will be the same whenever I vote a post and I can read and curate at me leisure. I can build up curation rewards at a much faster rate on LEO than on HIVE.

I'm always open to suggestions and really find your posts educational and informative. So if you have any other feedback I am open to suggestions.

I am not much of a blogger but enjoy commenting and interacting on posts as well as curating.

That is no longer the case on Hive, it was changed in the last Hard Fork. Hive now uses the same reward curve. You can vote anytime within 24 hours, they are all the same.

LEO is a smart place to focus attention. And yes you will earn HIVE in addition to LEO. Powering it up is a smart approach while earning the "extra tokens".

Exactly. It comes down to relative to what else is on Hive and how much you grow percentagewise.

If you can double or triple your account over the next year, you will gain more influence, relatively speaking, than I. At this point, I cant triple my account but smaller accounts can.

There are always problems, no doubt about it. That is true anywhere in life. However, we need to figure out ways to solve them. That is what the challenge always is.

As for the smaller fish, enhancing one's influence by an order of magnitude is a great approach. This is obviously helped if one makes the investment. However, even without that, smaller accounts can grow by 5x, 10x or 20x over time. That should be the goal of anyone who is serious about Hive and what is offered here.

You make some valid points there. Personally, I have never ignored someone for a low rep, I would much sooner check out if they are already getting voted if not, share their posts in some servers instead of thinking it's just a newbie.
Newbies can be a great addition to the communities. Fresh fishies who are super happy with some guidance.

And looking back, I'm glad that I wasn't ignored as a smaller account either when I just started. I wrote my way up and now I can finally work towards the next step of 5000 HP.

Ah what's another 400 when working towards 5000 :) Easy peasy! That's just a final sprint!

I've noticed that being on top of my goals, and now writing a weekly status update about it is helping me to stay focused and therefore I will continue doing so. I will hold myself accountable if I'm not on track.

I don't mind prioritizing some goals over others (like this month Chaos legion for example, so no HBD savings) as I will iron that out next month. And I'm trying to keep constant pending rewards above a certain number.

It motivates me to see I can actually earn more than I'd expect. And when a post hasn't been picked up, don't feel shit, just keep going. The comments matter just as much.

Have a good weekend!

Powerful write. Every account matters on Hive and we all have some awesome opportunities to grow. Truth is that some small accounts earn better than the whales because some of the big accounts rarely creates contents while the small accounts do more of that and that fetches them some love from the big generous stakeholders. The second layer is however open for everyone's growth. I've grown there and I think anyone else can.

Consistency and staking daily is all it takes for a smaller account to become a bigger account over a short period of time. At some point when the numbers explode any account having 50K Hive power will seem big. I find it encouraging to see how many Dolphins have climbed up to become Orcas and is like having a decent sized middle class. Accounts with HP need to look after the smaller accounts as the more we have growing quickly the better the eco system is.

Each account should be looking a the higher levels, especially those who are very small. The idea of growing and pushing towards Minnow is what the ecosystem needs.

If we can get 10K Minnows like the TenK project aimed for, we can see the beginnings of the next level of those moving up the scale.

A lot of smaller accounts, over time, focusing upon expanding will find they gain a lot more power. It is the nature of complex systems as they expand.

Glad I stumbled upon this piece. Great read. Although I must admit I do not power up. Not by choice but necessity. The liquid Hive I earn in the platform are what I use to sustain me and my family in financial crises. Though it is not enough, still it takes care of putting off some brush financial fires that would otherwise turn into a major conflagration if not addressed. Still I realize the need for growing my HP. To strike the happy medium, I have decided that all rewards I get in HP remain where they are. I do not powerdown and have never did since I began here. It is slow moving but it moves steadily upwards. I estimate my HP growing at a rate of 60HP's every month. As I increase my holdings this rate will also grow higher.

Meanwhile I do hope that my financial situation can improve allowing me to then power up my liquid earnings and making my stake grow even much faster than the rate it is doing now.

Thanks for your article 😊

Thanks for the comments. Growing your account at 60 HP per month will add roughly 720 throughout the year. I did not look at what you are sitting at right now but I would presume that is a nice multiple gain.

This is the point I was trying to make. You can increase your influence many multiples compared to where you are now. It simply takes the consistent activity and powering up.

I am sorry about your present financial situation and hope that things do improve for you and your family.

There might be something hidden preventing the crypto sphere from entering mainstream. There might also be certain entities working to bring about mainstream crypto. In that I do ot mean the people using it now.

What is happening now is free development of a new world currency. We are the mice running on the wheel.

Unless methods are introduced to support the desired token. The only thing we end up with is a crypto run by who runs money now.

Having lots of small account mean a larger pool of curators reading a larger pool of content. This helps reward distribution a lot. Once you manage to leave a vote worth few cents, you can start making a good impact as a curator on HIVE. Those who receive the small votes will feel more encouraged to produce more content which is going to be a great help to make the platform more popular.

As a very small account (at least in terms of Hive Power) I see no reason why my account couldn't double this year... although my actual goal is to double my VYB power, which is already over 1,000VYB staked.

Which brings me to a different point/tangent on what you're suggesting here: We have so many "small ecosystems" here (like VYB) that the goal of doubling in a year can exist across multiple communities, simultaneously. And that makes it all pretty cool!

That is very true. There are so many ways to earn on Hive, it is becoming mindblowing.

However, the reason why I focused upon Hive was not as a slight against the tribes; I think they are wonderful. The reason is because that is where the governance and influence comes from.

Hence the point is to show how smaller accounts can double in a year whereas the larger ones have more difficulty without pouring in a lot of money.

I have a challenge called #MarketFriday and honestly, it caters mostly to the small accounts. Because I generally reward them 100% on their post for the challenge, it attracts a lot of newbies. Also, the people who have been there are my backbone.

When I first came here, ignorant of crypto, a man called @Twinner delegated 500HP to me. He didn't know me, and I didn't even know what a delegation or a wallet was. I was green!! I never had those problems of not having a vote or enough power. All because someone blindly gave me this, and I didn't know it for a while as I didn't know I had a wallet with money. Well, I am so much better read now. :)

I help as many newbies as I can. I will never forget being helped and yes, it is my pleasure to help these people grow, onboard new people, and so on and so on. We all have to help ourselves, but, if we are able to help, a small amount of help, such as what you just did, goes a long way. People rarely forget a hand that pulls them up.

You are awesome. Nowadays, I move ahead slowly, but, it was pretty exciting when I was at 500 and watching it roll over to big numbers! I hit 1,0000 and thought I was rolling in it!

Looking at absolute value is a bit misleading because of the worth of that value. HP as governance won't "matter" for minnows. And doubling in account size while true, the ways to accomplish this are by chance (whoever eyes your post and upvotes.) Else, it's trading and just flipping (which is easier to do with less capital since there's a lack of liquidity on Hive.)

As for your comparison on distribution over time, I don't see anything that it's comparing with?

I disagree with this and use @jfang003 as an example. Those who engage like he does are not leaving things up to chance. He is on the radar of some significant people in different tribes simply due to his activity.

He didnt sit back and leave things to chance.

In addition to what you mentioned, mass adoption will never unless millions of small accounts use and adopt Hive. Sometimes, I imagine whales as governments and smaller accounts as people of a country. Governments may have power, but people are way stronger if they collectively want something
It might be a strang metaphor but this is how I feel about the current situation of Hive

Thanks for the nice article. it was interesting as always

The ability to include more is of course the goal. Each person who has a small account can grow at an exponential rate as compared to the larger accounts.

And unlike your government analogy, the smaller accounts can increase their relative influence by growing their accounts. This doesnt happen in the real world.

Comments. Comments. Comments.

Engagement is the starting point. Get involved. This is social media so be social.

From then, you will start to see your following grow.

I just got into the hive ecosystem in August of this year, I must say many times it can be very discouraging when you put so much time and effort into a post and it receives a 0.04 payout at the end while you saw aa post that was posted right after yours that had a huge 18 hive upvote already so you go open it and read it out of curiosity, and to your surprise it contains less than a complete paragraph. Now im not making a judgement call on what content is worth what payout or vote value, but take it from me, the perspective of new people to the ecosystem is discouragement. I wish there were more direct ways for the many helpful and willing citizens and hive to connect with these newcomers to the ecosystem in an effective manner?

Today is actually my first time on hive and I'm already scared because I don't even have the number but I've the encouragement to grow beyond my level today and still have the number in a years time through serious engagement on the blockchain. The person that introduced me to hive actually told me that everyone started the journey in a day and today they're where they're. Little drops of water makes a mighty ocean. In this little while that I've checked some account I'm a little bit discouraged but your words have fixed me together. Thanks for the encouragement.

That is the best thing about Hive. A person does not need a large cash investment to start earning. They can get away with no investment of money if they have a few friends willing to delegate some HP to them.
With enough time creating content and engaging a person can build a nice portfolio created with time.

Gotta love the regulators like @curangel trying to help out the little guy, and make it hard for folks like task master to maintain their rankings in the leaderboards.

nobody is as consistent as taskmaster though!
