I know it can be very hard and at times it seems not worthwhile and I not very invested in hive itself apart from hive power but I do believe it is inflationary, thats kind of what drew me to #pob the fact it was like bitcoin with 21 million total supply and a halving every 4 years.
But if your posting, engaging and curating and still down on your investment somethings just not right, I would take a look in hive-engine and maybe trade some hive for other tokens that you can see value in, pob has great value even though its down to roughly 0.20 USD value at the moment since the bear kicked down the front door this past month. Lol.
After 4 years you should have had a nice little egg of growing tokens, have you checked the hive engine, you might have some tokens you didnt even know about.
I make sure that I can see a little value in everything I do whether it be posting, engaging or curating and it should get easier over time not harder.
Some people also trade their hive for leo on leodex and put them in cub finance to farm some more cub, I havent got around to that just yet but there are some great articles on leofinance about that.
Dont lose hope in your coins, instead use them to earn through staking them or transfer them to a crypto you will use or some to fiat and buy a little treat for yourself.
Learning how to do all these things is what keeps me motivated, but I wouldnt call it a day during the bear season, Id rather double down an get dug in.
But at the end of the day nobody should tell anybody what they should do with there tokens.
Is there a reason why you havent converted, withdrawn or traded tokens yet, maybe doing a little deep dive will get you back in the game, its hard to say what you should be doing as I dont fully understand your situation, I can only make suggestions from my perspective.
But there is always a way as long as you have your master password and keys if you need help finding out how best to stake, trade, convert or withdraw just let me know and I will look for some useful links that might be helpful
