How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.
Today another milestone has been achieved as my Hive wallet ticked past 80K Hive Power. This is the taking one bite at a time approach as the end goal will take years to achieve which is always moving as I grow. The goal posts have to continuously move otherwise you will never push yourself to continue.
Growing on Hive can be a daunting task and why breaking up the growth in stages helps you achieve these mini milestones. If you had to look at the growth in years it can become rather depressing as even after a decade that may not be enough time to achieve 200K Hive Power. Imagine telling someone to knuckle down for the next ten years and they will think you are slightly mad or crazy.
The aim is to one day reach 250K Hive Power and how many years that might take is anyone's guess. How great it must feel to make 20 Hive per day just from your stake with the 3% APR. Curation rewards would also be something having the possibility of having a 10 plus Hive vote value. That would be 70 Hive per day just from these two alone besides everything else you do.
As a passive income earner Hive has no competition for what we have on offer and why it is worth persevering through the hard times. Taking one bite at a time towards your goals is the smart way of operating as this is how consistency plays a major role by making sure you are involved daily.
This is how you set yourself up for the future as having stake will guarantee your Hive earnings no matter how many active Hive users are on the blockchain. The reward pool remains the same which basically means if the number of users does a 10x Hive will be 10 x harder to earn. The price will no doubt increase due to the scarcity factor and why having stake is important when this time comes.
393,327,628.452 HIVE is the current supply. I million users on Hive only allows everyone to have 393 Hive. The thousands of Hive you have in HP reduces that number significantly. Basically there is only 36% available in liquid as the rest is locked as HP or the Hive Fund. That would roughly average about 130 Hive available for the next million users which is not true as we are all earning each day reducing that number adding to the HP.

The $3.41 we saw 53 weeks ago I see as the start of things to come and when we go up again somehow I think we will be shocked again. The price is not important when the mindset is about growth and passive income in the future years. Whatever your stake is it doesn't matter as the values are only going to rise over the next 5-10 years.
Keep taking the bites and maybe one day what we have will be worth a small fortune
