I voted until my power was down to 50%

Did you know that your voting power recharges? You can upvote with your voting power, all the way to 0% even, and it doesn't take Hive out of your account. In fact, it will recharge!

You can look at https://hivestats.io and see how long it will take to recharge. You help decide where the Hive inflation goes! To users, in fact. To the posts you like, you upvote, and share. We are all working together, pushing the buttons that make the dream work. Power up more Hive than you withdrawl!

Remember that you need at least 160 HP to optimize your account, so you can earn voting rewards. You can earn this over time by writing great stories, being a helpful community member leaving good comments, and generally being excellent 👍

Once I got it at about 15% if I am not mistaken! 😂 It was fun but do not recommend it 🙏

I always try and upvote until it is in the 50% range. Hate to let the spillover get me

I try to stay around 90%.
It recharges overnight and it gives the maximum my stake allows.
Look at your vote value at 100% and 50%, now ask yourself which vote you would rather give out.
Excess voting serves to punish the improvident.

Years ago a name you would know tried to push that crap on people.
He was wrong then, and he is wrong now.
I think he knew and was malicious in his advice.

Interesting, fair enough. I try to vote as much as I can, but 75% is usually my threshold. With higher HP though I can vote more, and sometimes I am not around for 3 days so it recharges anyways. I will keep this story in mind, thanks!

Yeah, if you are frequently gone, then it might be a good idea.

I've been a bit more selective with my votes because I have done exactly the same. The one advantage of having more HP is doing the lower percent vote and giving people a meaningful reward.

It will be a long road back to build my HP to the levels it once was!

Well whatever percent you go down to is commensurate to the time it will recharge so there's no loss actually. If you keep seeing good posts, just upvote them⬆️
