I have been naughty, and foolish.
I have not been keeping track of my Hive and other-Hive tokens proportion.
I ain't got a strategy to keep my Hive Hive, and had been trying to grow Hive by trying to 'flip the alts in Hive-Engine'. That's why I had been buying into the new projects.
In a way, I see that Hive is like the Bitcoin that drives the ecosystem, and so I automatically view all the tokens created in Hive to be like the alt-coins we see in the crypto market.
I thought I should try to gain Hive by selling tokens that outperform Hive, aka flipping alts in Hive-Engine.
What a fool! :)
I have blindsided myself and would continue to do so if I hadn't put my thoughts into words in this post.
Upon serious reflection, I should be trying to grow my Hive count from outside the Hive-Engine ecosystem and from not inside. For example, I should trade the usual alt-coins (e.g., Solana, Fantom) that have greater volume and are more predictable than those in Hive-Engine, and flip them into Hive when they outperform Hive.
I should have done that and not try to see if my tokens in Hive-Engine can outperform Hive. They are less predictable and less liquid.
I hope that I can hodl more Hive, but I need a trading department to achieve that.
Hive long-term, definitely!
