What are your thoughts on the best way to earn Steam? Is it better to delegate to a high curation reward earning user? Is acquiring steam power still the best strategy? I have been around since August 2016 and everything changes so fast, I would love to have some discussion.
Depends on your activity really. I'd say get involved with dapps, some of them may have a good chance of getting big and in some cases you will also be able to earn their token and steem at the same time. Check out steemapps.com if you wanna look at the most active ones currently and enter their discords and check out what others there are doing to earn some rewards. :)
If you get to a certain level with your Steem Power where you'd feel comfortable with delegating it to a distribution bot or bid bot, placing some in there for passive returns can also be pretty decent. With @ocdb you get get about 0.5 steem per 1k sp daily.
