In many ways, I think it comes down to what lessons we learned in our upbringing. From the earliest I can remember earning a few kroner in Denmark raking leaves and shoveling snow, the lesson I got was always "save it, save it, save it, SAVE it!" rather than spend it.

Much of that is still with me, today. That said, I have only met maybe a handful of people who didn't immediately go an huge spending spree when presented with "easy come" money. If someone gives me $10,000 pretty much my only thoughts are (a) what bills can I pay off and (b) if there's anything left over, how can I invest this to add to my monthly income while preserving the principal.

"Oh, but what FUN is that?"

But I think we may have to look deeper, still. What is a person's life orientation?

I know mine is "wanting security." For others, it's "wanting power" or "wanting control" or "wanting popularity" or whatever else.

Let's say Hive is $200 a token. YOUR stake is now worth $43 million. What's important to you?
