Right, but 25000k at 5 or even 10% isn't yielding my preferred outcome.

:) 25000K is not 25K. But I know what you mean. You need at least 100K LP to give 10% vote for 20 cents at 100% voting power. My suggestion (if I may) would be to power up 50K first and then see how it goes.

Hey. I'm allowed one typo LOL!

I think if I see Threads at some point tied in to my actual following on Hive, so they can see my Threads, purchasing stake for this purpose would be more appealing. Possible PeakD could offer similar.

I agree. The simple math would support buying. $LEO is 5 cents. The previous ATH was $1. If it reaches 50% of the previous ATH, the price is at 50 cents which is 10X from now.

I been in crypto too long to be attracted to words like that. I'm also aware if the value goes up, the value of the vote follows along. All the scenarios run through my mind. I place more confidence in HP and can still support Threads.

That's true but owning 25K is about 1K USD. I can risk putting in 1K USD with the upward potential to take it 10K USD.

It would be difficult to then retrieve that 10k USD at that point. That's a best case scenario for unstaked tokens intended to be flipped for profit from the start.

Moons, many dump, dust settles, want rewards, no stake left.
