I'm accumulating HIVE for the long term, no trading. At the amount of HIVE I own, I can't realize big gains. Perhaps in percentage, I can get a good return. However, in real terms, it will hardly be life-changing.
I've thought about this with savings where I can see a gain of 8% (crypto). Well, 8% of $20 is not going to matter much. However, if I can save $10,000, then 8% becomes interesting.
I haven't sat down to figure out how much HIVE Power I need to accumulate to be able to generate enough HIVE to make trading interesting. The challenge will be growing my account without putting in any money from the outside. I'd have to be a social media fiend.
I must admit that I was excited to see HIVE rise in price. I suspected it was temporary. Hopefully we settle on a price somewhere in between. Although I don't plan to sell, it's nice to see the value of my work go up.
