For instance, currently for every single cent HIVE moves up, it is going to increase my theoretical token wealth by at least 2000 dollars
Taraz, if I follow your measure, and I have 1M hive plus (900K staked and 100K liquid approx), can you imagine how much my theoretical hive token worth moves :) Also lately it definitely moved $1 up and down both :)
Thankfully, that is not the way I measure it.
I typically do not consider, my staked hive a 'liquid assets' or even hard assets. I only think about the influence and income it generates. Currently staked hive generates about 10% return, give of take. It is not much in crypto, but I do not mind, because it is giving me a front row seat to a emerging world of Venture Capital. If you ask how, I will answer Splinterlands of course. Imagine, if I was not in hive, would I be invested this much in SL? I might know about it, but having assets north of $2M in a online card game is much more risky than holding $2M of BTC (for an outsider). However, in this case, I know everyone at SL and I consider this a family business. Since it is a family business, I am certain that there is no vested interest in ticking me. In other words, I trust these people. So I can invest more, and not consider the daily fluctuation of my asset value.
I am just happy the monthly income SL is generating for me, which is substantially more than my current full-time job. I wouldn't be able to do that if I didn't invest in hive.
