Having hive powered up has lost value in real terms any period in a previous year you go by. The drop in value exceeds any possible earnings by dramatic levels. Don’t need to cherry pick tops in 2021 or smaller pump to .68 on January 2025, but only going by the absolute low of each of year for example 2022 bear cycle low of .25 , well any period the drop in dollar terms in ugly and way more a loss than if they just held that value in cash earning no interest. Unless they did partial power downs Along way.
I have regardless of seeing writing on the wall continuously invested time here and do so knowing it’s not going to earn me value but I do so for personal enjoyment. But I did power down above .40 cents average in early 2025 a majority my stake. I’ll never understand not taking profits during artificially obvious pumps like going to .40 in January and seeing volume spike 100X clearly showing actors purposefully moving it and manipulating it. when the trend proves we were going to keep going lower. But again I have love for hive and community. But ignoring these extra data points of how I’m spending power rewards earned over 12 months ago and all under water on average even if here from day after 2020 fork, it’s just not honest take to not dig into that fact.
That's exactly type of discussions we should be having, hence the data is public and shared. Community, ownership and engagement is most important beside monetary rewards but shouldn't ignored as well.
Agreed 100%. Good to hear this take from you.
