As they are pretty close, they differ from the work put in. Curation implies building the community up, where the liquidity pool is more a passive endeavor.
For the growth of leofinance.io it is important to have curators that are active, for the growth in value on the other way the liquidity pool is important. If someone can balance a fine split between them, that would be ideal.
Thanks for the analysis.

Curation takes more work, but has more payout.
Even if they technically pay the same number of tokens, there is a huge value to building one's social network on LEO. When I upvote posts and comments everyone sees my name. It's free advertising of my brand.
It's possible to get upvotes on LEO and Hive that I wouldn't have gotten otherwise. People will follow me who otherwise wouldn't have, and when I launch dapps or promote my @hextech witness team more users will support us. The value of this is pretty high. It is a largely invisible and long-term investment.

True, in the age of the attention economy, curating brings more in the end. Also with the upvotes from others, you are fully right, as they increase the ROI.
Also smart move on naming the witness, now you got a new voter. :)

That's true. Curation is definitely more active. We need both though. The liquidity pool is how we get market exposure to the world, which is its own form of marketing.

Agree, curation is more active, as low stake members are getting more of it.For the pool to be profitable, bigger chunks are needed to go in, so that the fees shall not kill the margin. Maybe instead of burning some Leo, they shall be used to create some volume in trading to cover the fees. Just an idea..

Both are important. The pool will help raise the value of LEO by exposing it to ETH. So, offering passive yield farmers a good yield makes a lot of sense.

Yes, both are, they are different from approach and revenue model, but both bring value in.
