RE: Still 50% / 50% By a Wide Margin
Nice article Gems.
Good to know 50/50 pays better.
When the platform was first designed, SBD was meant to be pegged to USD --- 1 SBD = 1 USD.
This design was to help keep a stable payment system for investors and authors. But in 2017, SBD starting going up a lot and the peg could not be maintained. Steem was always intended to have a higher price than SBD and this was true until pretty recently (just before we joined.)
There is now a possibility the witnesses will put this peg of 1 to 1 USD back in place. This is kinda of hot topic and you can vote on it if you care to.

Hey @bycoleman. Nice of you to drop by. Again, I am learning something from you my friend. I was thinking the very same thing when I was doing this post. I will definitely check on these links you sent. Thanks.
Anyway, I was surprised with the results of my study which showed that even with SBD below 1 USD, the 50/50 is still better. I myself, and most people thought that 100% Steem Power would be better once SBD gets to USD 1 or lower. I just had to make sure and make people (at least those who care to read this post) know.
