I kept powering up from pretty much day seven or eight back in the Steem days. I am not sure when I got my first pay-out or curation reward. I have held out some Hive to play with a little bit here and there. Every spike of Hive over the last four months I was still powering up. That first nice spike in September I think when it went from the $0.40 range to $0.90 range.

Yes there are a lot of paper loses, and a lot of paper regrets on the part of many, I look forward to the day I actually make a fiat transition of some of my Hive, I don't know when that will be, but it will be done one day I hope.

My biggest Hive Crypto fear, (which is stupid), is not being able to convert to fiat before I die and then it all just sitting gathering dust in some far off corner of dead Hive accounts..

I am still thinking $2.12 for a year end price, no reason other than it is a nice looking number.
