I think John often says on the crypto maniacs podcast, "just show up everyday". I think that is the key towards anything not just the Hive blockchain. Showing up here everyday, making comments, content of some form, playing hive blockchain games, curating the content. All adds up and increases the compounding effect of earning HP and HBD with each input. I think not just 5 years even 5 months of dedicated usage would give some noticeable results.
