Although I like HIVE, it Is not that type of assets, that one I'd like to invest in. I mean saving there money - purchasing power... I got first involved with HIVE through 
I was earn there some crypto in the past, put It into another web3 game - 
I was spend during my wandering and exploring web3 space ~10.000$... only in HIVE ecosystem. Mostly for NFTs and gaming tokens.
At first, I saw it as an investment. I thought I would make a lot of money from it. But now i stay for different reasons and believe to other things.
Blockchain games are being created and they die. Most of them. I was lucky because I bet on the two projects with the most dedicated developers. They鈥檝e had a few hiccups, but they work and delivering...
Over the course of five years, I managed to build 
In dCrops im in top10 accounts and it was easier, becouse i was step in in the beginning and puting there a lot of money from Splinterlands earnings.
Now i can say "im done". I was spend every cent from my innitial investment well, i dont care if the actual value is 50.000$ or 1.000$. One day I would be sad if it turns into 0... but that's all and I'm in peace with that. I don't need more and mentaly i had to say "good bye" to these funds and I can't imagine what would have to happen for me to take them back into ugly fiat.
I'm done with expanding my web3 games portfolio. My cornerstone in HIVE is set - in layer2. And now I'm stepping back into L1 through selling rewards in these games.
Reward cards, CROP tokens, SPS from staking... Im calling it "hold the chicken and sell the eggs strategy".
Im +12.000 HIVES in stake from the beginning of the 2026 and still rising. Im getting these from weekhands and Its 100x more than i can earn from my article upvotes.
THIS IS THE WAY how i want to build strong curation account without more money spending and acumulate value for bigger things... For developing.
HIVE got a new Dolphin this year, becouse providering play2earn games and suport Splinterlands in the past... Maybe bigger fish will comes...
The time will tell us. New era of discovering & learning Is beginning. Developing Is the next phase.
