One cent at a time is how I view growth on Hive as it is more about putting one foot in front of another moving forward each day. Crypto is by no means a get rich quick scheme and why so many give up on their dreams. The dreams are here except you are physically involved and without any input and effort they will remain just dreams.
Hive is a gradual growth process that takes time to start showing the potential. Stake is the key to unlocking that potential and this is what takes the time to tap into the riches that are here. If you have arrived coming for the money then you are in for a rude surprise as that is years off and so much needs to happen before that happens.
On Hive it is an equal playing field for everyone all starting out with the same pack of cards. It is how you play those cards that will determine whether you are successful or not. We all have made mistakes and it is how you learn from those without repeating them again.
I cannot stress how much monitoring your growth helps spur you on to keep on going. Compare it to someone on diet using a weight scale to monitor heir progress as they are encouraged to continue as long as they see the numbers dropping. The same euphoria is achieved when you track your growth seeing the numbers rise. I have chosen to monitor the vote value on HiveStats as that is keeping it as simple as possible.
This is a bit like watching paint dry but you do get to see the numbers rise every few weeks which highlights progress is being made. This number is at 4.62 Hive for a 100% vote vale with the next being 4.63 Hive and so on. I suspect next month this will be 4.70 Hive which is literally like watching your growth in cents and not dollars. The saying is if you look after the cents the dollars will look after themselves.
The vote value is your stake and value on Hive not only for yourself, but for those you support giving out upvotes. This will be very important later on when Hive is harder to earn due to the number of users who are yet to join. This is your guaranteed earning potential through voting others. 4.62 Hive x 10 votes per day with a 50/50 split lets me earn 23.1 Hive daily and all down to having stake powered up as Hive Power. This is worth nearly $80 per day at the ATH of $3.41.
The growing at one cent at a time may seem tedious in the beginning but you are growing and just can't see it straight away. The opportunity is here you just have to believe it and the time will come when you start to physically see the snowballing taking place which it will happen. This is the turning point and you have to reach this point first in order to understand the power of compounding and what you have here on Hive. Baby steps will get you here and all that is required is you keep moving forward each and every day.
