The Tables Will Turn

There have been a few posts lately where some users are earning 3 x their real life salary just on Cubdefi. Just think when #CUB goes to 3 or 5 or even 10x it's current price one could be earning your monthly salary within one day which is kind of crazy.

I have been thinking about this for some time as I am sure it will happen at some point when your current day job earnings are less than what you earn on Hive. I am talking about when Hive starts to rise in price and the earnings become much more noticeable. This becomes like an elephant in the room and hard to miss.

I haven't taken 1 cent out of crypto yet as I am fortunate enough to be able to keep stacking. Those stacks though especially on Hive and Leo compound rather quickly along with an upward price movement they do get you thinking as your earnings increase.

When Hive was 15c the idea wasn't there as the $400 being earned monthly is neither here nor there. Last month the $2200 I earned is more like it as it is moving in the right direction, but still not replacing my real life income. I am sure it all depends on your financial situation and what dreams you have for the future.

I have always believed that you earn no matter what it is as one day that particular income source could dry up. Hive at $5 or $10 wouldn't change much in the way I think as it may become my number one source of monthly earnings but the other incomes are just as important to maintain.

Honestly I can see this happening and as tempting as it may be there is still the risk of another bear market (please not another 4 years) occurring again. One thing in crypto patterns do emerge as history has a habit of repeating itself. Maybe not quite the same time frames next time around as with over 2 Trillion Dollars invested in crypto with more flowing into it daily things are changing.

I think the difference is Hive has afforded us opportunities to think like this as if you have grown large enough over the last bear market. Hive was so much easier to earn back then compared to now and this is clearly visible even though post rewards in Dollars are up.

My reason for not wanting to use Hive no matter what is that I believe we are selling ourselves short considering where the price could go in 5 or 10 years time. I just cannot see Hive under $5 in 3 years time as crypto currencies become main stream. For me to move away from my day job is more difficult as I am in a business partnership but if I was an employee and my salary was being dwarfed by my Hive earnings I would find it hard to justify. I think if the combined Hive blockchain earnings (Cub,Leo,Tribes and Hive) over time were 10 or 20 x my current income you would have to raise the question again just to justify the time spent away from the block chain.

The likes of Hive and Leo along with Cub and maybe a few tribe tokens should at some point bring an abundance of wealth beyond our wildest dreams. The thoughts of having a passive income may not just be quite that, but much much more. For now though it is time to keep on stacking and leave those thoughts alone. this is a problem for another day down the road and a rather nice problem.

Watching your account grow has been nothing short of impressive. I guess we're not all built that way, unfortunately. Still, I reckon if you keep at it, whether or not it replaces your income wouldn't be too important, cause it will always provide that cushion.. Which is what many of us want

You are quite correct as having a cushion or back up is more important than anything as it gives you peace of mind. I have impressed myself and have to pinch myself as still can't believe my account sometimes.

I've just written about some big valuations as well. Of course it is all relative, but I have been given the ability to make more money than I ever have before with cryptocurrency. It is truly revolutionizing the way we earn, trade and spend. It's incredible to see and I think Cub could be a big mover in the field.

I find it amazing at the creation of wealth on here and believe it will only increase.

Let's hope we see that become the case

I think that $cub could be massive for us in a couple of years. I'm printing about 30 per day which will go down as more liquidity enters the market but even if i was minting 5 per day at $30 it would pay me a wage.

10x is not a huge leap for what they are putting together over there.

You have done incredibly well and lets hope it does those types of numbers. I am happy making whatever I make right now and will just keep adding slowly. Last check I was making only.7 cub per day so room for growth.

I was lucky enough to catch the dip. When it hit $2 I took the chance and bought more.

With the team behind it and a project that I know about. It makes sense to have more in this than some of my alts that I hope might moon.

With cub I expect slow and steady growth for years to come.

I think for me it would have to be a good two to three times what I am currently making for me to even consider it. I'd want to be able to tuck some money aside for the times when the market is down or finally enters a bear run. I think 3x is a perfect number. Then you can take your regular salary and take the additional 2x and put it away. So basically ever week buys you two weeks of freedom, or every month buys you two months, 1 year buys 2 years etc.

I think I would be more comfortable with 5x or 6x as you have to save up for the lean times. I am hoping a bear market doesn't see us drop under 30 or 40c as that will make a big difference.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Yeah, that would be bad. Hopefully we can earn some weekly profits before then.

that's a rather large safety margin, but I get it better safe than sorry! No harm in stacking a little longer either

It is, but I have a pretty decent job that I enjoy most of the time, so it would have to be more than worth it for me to give that up. Now in five or so years when I am fully vested and I can retire, I might see things differently...

Ahh yes, in my opinion this is even better. Having a sense of purpose and enjoying your work are underestimated often to chase the money and get locked up in some shitty job.

For me I'm fortunate to do what I love and decide my own working hours so that's great, not sure if I'll be able to do what I do all my life though or lose interest later on. So building on a piece of freedom helps to keep options open.

Would you drop your job completely or just scale back in hours/workload to balance things differently? Also seen to many people focused on retiring and then lose purpose or getting bored because they have no idea what to do then.

This place keeps me busy enough. I would probably just quit completely. Only being here part time doesn't really put the place I work in a good position.

Makes sense, can really get lost here and spend like forever if you wanted. I'm just afraid I'd be stuck behind my computer for too much without anything else. But that might be because a lot of the things I enjoy to do aren't possible right now. Anyway I'm nowhere near making a living on here so no need to worry about that either. Good luck on your journey!

My whole job is just sitting behind my computer all day which is what makes it really easy for me to be on here engaging with others. I am lucky in that regard!

Even if Hive's price increases more and more
It is good for you to have more than one source of income, especially with the change of the economic map of the world. You must participate in all fields
