My DApp investment ( Experiment )journey has begun! What DApps have you delegated to?

DMiLLiZ@dmilliz (73)2705d

Hello there,

I rarely write blogs these days , I am more of a vlogger, but my current situation is not vlogger friendly:) hehehe.

Today I just want to share the start of my delegation journey with the various DApps here on steem. For those of you who don't know, Steem has a very unique system of delegation that allows you to use your steem power and lend/delegate it to accounts/users on the blockchain for them to perform various tasks, help build communities, invest in DApps, to help fellow steemians out and other various use cases that we haven't even imagined yet.

Today I am talking about delegation as an investment, delegating to a DApp in the hopes of getting returns. I personally have just started doing this about a week or two ago and I find it very interesting. I only invest in DApps I use and see a bright future in. So while it is an investment, I also believe in these DApps and making a return is not the only reason for delegating. I do not pay much attention to the APR/RIO, well only for the DApps I plan to delegate 500 SP or more.

One very cool feature of investing in DApps via delegation is that your Steem power is used, not liquid steem, this has a very big advantage in that DApps can't just run off with your assets like what happened over and over again in 2017 and is still happening today . (BITCONNECT) . Nope, one click of a button and they are un-delegated, your Steem power is back in your wallet, ready to be invested in another project or liquidated into steem ( or used to up-vote good content:). This is a very cool feature that many outside and some inside of steem have yet to discover. I truly do believe it is the future of investing. It is low risk and therefore low anxiety, more sleep at night and it is indeed a good feeling to see the transfers coming into my steem wallet as well as Tokens from DApss in the interface wallets.

"So What DApps have you delegated to so far"?

Thanks for asking. The first DApp I delegated to was @Actifit. I use the DApp often and it is one of my favorites. The good thing with delegating to them is that you also get Tokens daily ( AFit Tokens) that I can actually trade for up votes on actifit posts ( gotta stay fit), but in the near future it can be used to purchase health related products and equipment from what I have read. We just have to wait and see. @actifit also gives weekly delegator share payments based on the amount you have delegated. They pay out in Steem and SBD. Note: I only delegated 100 Steem Power so far as it was my first time delegating to a DApp. Thank you @actifit, you broke me in:)

Below is a pic of when I traded Afit tokens for upvotes. 20 Afit tokens gives a me $1.11 upvote on my next or latest post. ( I just realized how this worked while writing this post, you have to go on the actifit website to access the exchange feature. Note: you have to verify by paying 1 Steem, only once, then you are good to exchange AFIT for Upvotes. I imagine the App will be able to do that soon.

Below is a snap of the AFIT Tokens I recieved because of my delegation, I receive Tokens daily.

Next, I delegated to @share2steem, I use it all the time and really love the convenience of beaming content from centralized platforms to the steem blockchain. @share2steem gives you a percentage of their daily earning based on how much you have delegated, they also give you a higher up-vote percentage on your posts based on your delegation. See the pic below of one of my latest transfers from them.

Now while the amount is not much as I have only delegated 200 SP, it is interesting to see, I am earning passively, I get decent up-votes from a DApp I use often and I AM LEARNING. I can imagine what delegating 10,000 SP would bring.

Now I must say @steemhunt is doing some really cool things by setting trends on the blockchain, they were actually the first DApp to give their tokens to individuals who delegated to them. Just like @actifit they have their own native token called "HUNT" Tokens. These tokens are the first Steem DApp based tokens to be listed as an IEO ( Initial exchange offering) and they had three rounds which sold out in seconds ( first 2 rounds ) and 14 minutes for the third round. By delegating to @steemhunt I get weekly "rewards" in Steem and SBD, based on my delegation amount and I also get hunt tokens which I feel will be very valuable in the near future based on their road map which they have been on target with and beyond.

I plugged 500 SP in to @steemhunt when I saw an interview with @project7, the main designer and coder for the DApp. He was on the ball with all the questions and full of enthusiasm. I saw the vision and said YUP to 20% yearly interest ( given in a mixture of SBD, STEEM and HUNT Tokens). Now some may say "20%? I can make more in a minute day trading". Yes that is true but I have no time for that and for a risk free investment, this is pretty good. Also that 20% is not taking the fact that HUNT tokens may be worth a lot more than the current $0.02.

Below are my weekly rewards transferred to my steem wallet from @steemhunt.

Below is a pic of my wallet on steemhunt.com showing my latest HUNT token transfer.

I am new to this investment via delegation but I find it rather interesting. I can only imagine what the future will bring. If I missed out any important details regarding the DApps I am delegating to, please let me know in the comments below. Also tell me what DApps you are interested in/or are already delegating to?

PS: I wanted to delegate to @partiko but I wasn’t sure if they were accepting any more delegations.

    I remember starting my first delegations with plenty of doubt but quickly saw the benefits of doing do so! Now, I have delegations that now only support Dapps for tokens and upvotes but great communities that focus on curation and growth which I see as fundamental for the creation of growth in the ecosystem. The tokenization phase we are currently seeing will be interesting to experience as they develop and mature into more established projects that grab the attention of participants outside the Steem community.

    I've learnt something big today but the level of my SP is an hindrance but no knowledge is wasted at least I've know how to make passive income by investing in Dapps. Thanks A²¹

    I stopped delegated completely because I prefer to have all my Steem Power under my control. I start to make more on curation.

    personally i haven't really delegated anything, other than 800sp to @steembasicincome which is close to nothing. but i would if i had millions of sp 😆

  • @travoved(68)· 2705d

    Good day! And did you count roi before you delegated your SP? Or please explain how you choose Dapp whom delegate your SP.

    Thanks for the post. I was just thinking about deleting to share2steem earlier today. I didn't know that I could do actifit as well. Imma definitely look into this.

    Whenever you write blogs this way it's always thrilling and colourful, truth is I don't know how the delegations returns happens maybe you can explain to me a bit how I can earn rewards, I'm having 3.6k sp and when I get to 4k I'll delegate 500 to maybe dtube or Share2steem really that's my plan

  • @canercanbolat(43)· 2705d

    That is an incredible post. Honestly, it's the first time that I could clearly understand how some dApps work. Thank you heartily 😌

    great picks man. i love seeing what others are investing in. and i think delegating is the absolute best investment and safest you can make.

    great post!
