Many of us have been on Hive for some time now and in my case nearly 54 months which is not what I had planned when I signed up lol. Starting out and growing takes time as one needs to learn along the way. The growth is fairly easy once you get the hang of things as long as you are consistent.
How much time do we have left before the masses appear and flood the blockchain as things will change dramatically? This has always been the fear and what has driven me on each day as being able to earn like we have will come to an end. Whether it is 5 Hive or 25 Hive earned every day that will not be so easy to come by in the coming years. The reward pool remains the same size whether there is 1000 or 1 million active users. Do we have another 54 months before this happens as I don't think we do. Kind of bitter sweet really as we need the numbers to generate the values.
So much is changing in the real world especially when it comes to Crypto and the need of the masses to find another income source. The various economies around the world have taken a pounding and we have yet to see how bad things will get. This is not going to fix itself and will take years of recovery with the middle class and the poor being hit the hardest.
Crypto cycles have lasted 4 years between the ATH's which puts us around 2025/26 when the next ATH's are expected again. It seems like every time this happens the Crypto adoption increases in size and expect the next one to be far bigger than the last one out of necessity.
With institutions coming on board along with businesses using Crypto as a payment method more and more people are being introduced to Crypto every single day. If it wasn't clear enough before where Crypto is heading it is very clear now. This is only a matter of time before everyone will have some type of wallet with a portfolio of sorts.
Hive as a social block chain is well positioned and will attract the masses like a bee to a honey pot. Being rewarded for being social and sharing ideas or hobbies via posting plus playing various games online will be big and Hive is set for some major onboarding. This is what we all want to happen when we have a big enough stake, but life never works that way and will happen when it is time. The chances are we will look back on these years as the good old days as the years of earning like we have will dry up.
I keep asking myself when is having enough enough, but you just never know as you can never have enough Hive or Leo or whatever tokens you are accumulating. These are important times to be able to make a difference before it is too late making sure there are no regrets. The Hive earned over the next 3 or 4 years will set you up and what will set you apart from those who are going to be joining.
