My point exactly: not considered of value ... by those who did not consider it of value.

Others had foresight.

All of us early miners, for example, who invested thousands of dollars in mining equipment to mine what could not even be sold at the time (that many thought was worthless) is a close equivalent to those who work hard to earn HIVE rewards and HODL for the future.

It all depends on what each of us think HIVE will become. 😉
