Upvoting this because I wonder the same thing. When I upvote someone and say I had a lot of SP (which right now I have a new account) is that money that I am sending from my own account or is that being distributed from newly mined STEEM? Say I had a lot of SP if I upvote the hell out of everything am I essentially spending my SP? Should I be more careful in only upvoting the very best content? TY in advance for whoever can reply.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Upvoting everything is not a good idea. Steemit is designed for 20 upvotes a day. You could give up to 20 votes at full power and every vote over 20 would weaken the reward for all your votes. So voting for only the best content is better.
When you upvote someone's post, you are rewarding them with Steem Power (SP) and Steem Dollars (SBD) that will be newly created at the next scheduled payout. It does not come out of your SP.
