People love money so we are on our favourite topic from where the money comes to our posts, I will try to keep it as simple as possible.
There are two things you need to understand in this case which are like Hive power & inflation
So, let’s understand first HIVE Power
hive power(HP):-Hive is a token we all know and when we locked that token in hive wallet then it becomes hive power, hive power is the main thing from where the money comes to your post.
Inflation:- we know what is Inflation, that’s isn’t same for hive blockchain also there is little percentage of inflation in hive which increase the supply of hive by few millions every year, that inflation is used to reward everyone on the blockchain like witnesses(miners) , people who locked hive (hive power) , content creators, curators & DAO fund
Till now we have understand what is hive power & Inflation now we came to our main topic how post get money.
When you create content and person with hive power upvote( like ) to your post then based on his holdings the reward comes to your post from the inflation
I have tried my best to answer this in simple language hope you all understand. If you have better explanation of this topic I would like to invite you to answer few simple questions about hive under #hivebasics initiative by @theycallmedan
