The thing is that powering up is quite addicting and there's this insatiable need to keep stacking up and building both the Leo and Hive Power. It's for the future and whilst the prices of HIVE and LEO are most affordable, staking continues.

100%. No matter how much you make, if you take out everything then you will struggle 5 years later. But if you keep on building your account side by side and do small powerups regularly, then you will sit at a fat stake in 5 years' time that could be life-changing. It's worth the bet.
