It is interesting when you change your perspective on things. For example, I view every Hive I get as $10. I firmly believe that they will be worth that some day and since I don't plan on selling any before then, they actually are worth that much. Now a post that gets two Hive in rewards is actually a $20 post. Do that every day for a year and you've got real money. Not to mention that if you post every day, eventually you will start to earn more.
As crazy as it sounds, there were people mining Bitcoin at the same price Hive is now. Who knows where Hive could be in 10 years? $10? $100? $1000? If we keep building and developing there is no reason we couldn't see this thing reach into the $100's plus. In the meantime, we just need to keep our heads down and put in the work. As you say, every little bit could be worth 10x, 20x, even 100x or more down the road.

The early days of Bitcoin illustrated this perfectly. I became fully aware of it back in 2010 (heard of it in 2009), when it was around $0.25 (after getting my first five Bitcoin for free...).
Those first BTC came from a free faucet, and later on that year I started mining on a beatup old Compaq computer in my room (you could do that back then). I was unemployed and remember having to download the entire ledger which took forever.
Everybody was on my ass warning me that I would get arrested for playing around with this counterfeit money scam created by some shadowy "hacker."
I ignored them and kept on going...
I ended up mining 20 more Bitcoin on my own (BTC price was $1), before an elderly relative accidentally threw my $20 worth of Bitcoin out with my old Compaq desktop, (the rest were lost on Mt. Gox).
After that there was a runup to $100, then it dropped way back down and everyone in my area said: "See, we told you, the ride's over, you wasted you time." Small minds think alike. They can't see the forest for the trees, and they never will.
Hive isn't just the token, it's the community as well. Did any of the wise ones sell when it hit $0.25? No, they were accumulating which is one of the ways they became Whales in the first place. Thus we build.
