People that delegate their own SteemPower to another Steemain for no financial gain are the most selfless Steemits this platform has to offer.
The more SteemPower (SP) you have the higher your vote is worth. The more your vote is worth, the more you can reward authors on Steemit, and the more you can earn in curation rewards.
So anyone that delegates SP without looking for a financial reward is actually at a financial loss because they could have earned curation rewards with the power themselves.
This post is a dedication to one such person. @stellabelle. Over the last few month Stellabelle has delegated power to a number of Steemains, me being one of them. Not only this but Stella has also worked behind the scenes with others to identify accounts worthy of receiving delegated power. You can read all about it here
@stellabelle/dear-freedom-and-whales-here-s-a-sp-delegatee-menu-to-solve-the-vote-selling-problem
The aim of this post, I hope, is to make @stellabelle proud by showing her how much reach her delegated power has had. And also to show you, how much impact it is possible to have as a delegator.
But there is something that is not included in this data. That is the personal effect this delegation has had on each one of the Steemians that received the power.
I can only speak for myself in this, but receiving this power has done so much for me. I didn’t think my reputation on Steemit would grow like it has done. This power has given me exposure that I couldn’t have imagined. It has given me confidence not only in myself but also in Steemit as a platform and the community around it. It has made me believe Steemit is the place to be and I will be a strong part of it moving forward.
I did previously analyse the data on my votes before, you can check out that post here

This post is more of an overview analysis post showcasing the reach this selfless act by Stella has achieved.
The table below shows each of the accounts that Stella has delegated power to, along with the date of delegation and the amount of SP delegated. I have added a column to this data to show how much this delegated power is worth with a 100% vote
I have connected to the Steemsql database using the following query
SELECT
*
FROM
Txvotes (NOLOCK)
WHERE [voter] in ('ashleykalila', 'crimsonclad', 'futurethinker', 'inquiringtimes', 'juliakponsford', '
kubbyelizabeth', ' limabeing ','mikepm74', 'paulag','reveur', 'thekittygirl')
and timestamp >= CONVERT(datetime,'10/01/2017')
and timestamp< CONVERT(datetime,'12/28/2017')
I then used DAX to further filter and apply calculations to the data.

Speaking for myself, I know I would not have voted as much if I did not receive this delegation, so anyone that has received votes from me, you can thank my delegators for the generous rewards.
I hope this post stands as a testimony to @stellebella and her selfless act of delegation. I also hope that it encourages others to do the same.
