To note about voting rewards on Beethoven X
Beethoven X does voting rewards a little differently to most guage vote platforms. As well as having individual token rewards they'll often reward in LP tokens. For example the rewards for Staked Fantom & Circle Symphony (below)
Are the BPTs (Beethoven Pool Tokens) for the Fantom Menace LP on Beethoven.

BPT rewards
Where we voted last time
Given the solid position of Fantom Menace in both current ROI and current vote total coupled with both the poor recent price action of FTM and the fact we hold an existing position in the LP which the BPT rewards are for we're going with it for this vote round.
We're looking at ~14 USD in total rewards.
How we did
Bit over half what we projected. Not great but not terrible. It's generally par for the course in voting (as we've seen).
Where we're voting this round
Bribe markets
Voting power
We've looking at the raw return per 10K votes. Roughly we currently have 61K votes.
At present it's really a contest between the top 2 as they're the only ones with large enough votes that a few extra voters won't dramatically change the vote ROI.
It'll come down to the reward tokens as both FBUX and DEUS make up the majority of the rewards.
DEUS is by far the older protocol of the two and by far the oldest token. Both tokens have seen significant price falls in line with the overall fall in prices on Fantom (and the market in general).
Current vote distributions
Given we already hold a FBUX position, there's more votes, and there is more potential upside to a newer token which is still figuring out their value proposition in the market (of course that is paired with opposite downside...) we're voting for fMoney with Attitude Vol. 2
