I've been looking for an estimate of what return you can make by curating.

I've seen people that could reach 18% APR with curation but I believe it was rather automated curation. With a mix of automatic and manual curation I manage to get between 10 and 16%.

Another big advantage of opting for curation rather than delegation is that you also generate curation rewards in Hive-Engine tokens that can be quite interesting.

The more you have staked, the more interested people will be in earning your attention and potential vote.

I totally agree with you. I've written a post about it where I consider the Hive Power like your business card that shows the world how invested you are in this. The "bigger" your account is, the more interesting it will be to become your friend :-)

Thanks a lot for stopping by!
