Absolutely when I was first buying them. I got in early, when I did sell if we went by a first in first out, the first purchase was for 10 hive and sold at 160 hive, so yes I was very happy to get in early, At the time it was the most expensive investment I had made in any of the Hive-Engine Tokens.
I don't earn a lot of Hive, and have not really invested any fiat except for when I bought some Splinterlands cards and then sold them about a year later.
I see it as luck that I made that choice to buy, but even with the high price I still want to get back to 7 Archon Miners. They don't just give a Archon token during the mining, and I am not sure how it works but you get a lot of other small drips from other coins. You could say my selling of them was my bit-coin pizza buy. But no regrets I wanted and got that 500 HP level bee badge.
I was at 34 on the top 50 list for a very long time, then themarkymark bout some and a few others recently so I got knocked down to 38th place. So a few people seem to think they are worth it.
