I can relate, and I agree.
The vast majority of my Hive is powered up, and I don't personally want to power down, even to take advantage of an arbitrage opportunity.
But I completely understand, and agree with, your strategy in doing so. And I wish you the best of luck with it.
I respect your choice immensely. To me it is rather taboo to even consider powering down for anything short of a dire need! Knowing my lack of patience, I will most likely power it back up but will feel better for venting about it lol.
