That's true, but HIVE and LEO still need to prove themselves and the only way is staying around for years.
I would never recommend HIVE/LEO to anyone who asks me 'in what I should invest?' because most people can't handle the price swings... not only that. You need to be aware of token swaps, hacks, dramas... not healthy from a 'passive investing' mindset.
But if you want to publish your content and work on it as a hobby... that's another story :)
