It is very true what many say when it comes to earning potential being the earlier the better on any project. This is before the price starts to hike giving you a better return. Future wealth is being earned right now in crypto as most projects are still in their infancy stages. Mass adoption will speed up the growth rate and the ability to make more will be less easy.
The same philosophy applies to the Hive eco system as earning Hive now will be far easier than when Hive is at $5 or $10. It is great to see the value in your wallet being worth much more but the downside is Hive is far harder to earn. I feel as though I am only just getting started and that is after nearly 4 years on here. The time doesn't feel that long even though it is a big chunk as time flies when you are having fun.
When Hive was at 10c it as all about stacking as much Hive as possible as price made no real difference as 10c was not reflecting anywhere close to the real value. I noticed when Hive was over $3 not that long ago how it affected the growth as Hive was that much harder to earn. Post rewards were up with the dollar value, but Hive growth in my case took a knock. Any Hive/Leo/POB/CTP or whatever token you are stacking is still better than none.
The golden era of earning Hive is now as we will look back on these times with fond memories. Don't get me wrong I would like to see Hive have a more realistic value of what we have here on Hive but then again I am in no rush either. The belief it will happen is never in doubt as what is here is beyond question anything that can be closely compared to even coming close. Hive is just that far ahead and it is down to the development and the communities. Leofinance has to take a fair amount of credit for what they have been doing for years as they are the ones who made others sit up and realise the possibilities are endless.
Many who want to see Hive at $10 may have already grown considerably over the years and are waiting for that moment. It is not just Hive but all the secondary tokens that would receive a boost if that happens and account growth will be affected.
My plan has always been a 5 year plan to be able to give yourself a chance to become something of value not only to oneself but also being able to do my part supporting the community.
From what I have seen so far Hive is heading in the right direction as clearly something is being done right. The two year anniversary for Hive is next month and it would be nice to be able to grow at the same rate as the past. All good things do come to an end at some point as we will most certainly enter another era at some point. Accepting Hive will just be that much harder to earn as the price rises along with many new users joining diluting the reward pool even more.
I am by no means complaining as what we have here is something special and most of us have had a decent head start on the users that have yet to join. For one I value every Hive and every secondary token earned as I know one day they will bring serious value as they give you the ability to earn and support others at the same time. The only wish is we had just a bit longer as it is only a matter of time before we see things take off.
