There are 2 reasons I rarely recommend Leo and hive:
It is too complicated. I have tried to explain it to people and even the more tech-savy ones did not understand, why you need 5 Keys and 3 different Types of currency (hive, HP, HBD). Even if they understand all that they still face the motherload of all questions: What should I write about?
Steem would have been a very bad investment for me 3 years ago if I had put money into it. In the Fall of 2017 I had 1000$ in BTC (and a few others) and 1000$ in Steem Power on my account. The value of my account has gone down to 100$ + 100$ Hive account. So I lost 80% on that. My 1000$ in BTC meanwhile did almost 5x
Well the past won't dictate the present and I really hope Project Blank will be a turning point for hive.
Trotz des ganzen Gemeckers: Herzlich Willkommen @alexendrabauer !

It's too complicated indeed, that's why I manage everything for her at the moment. It certainly isn't the easiest ecosystem to get into.
I do feel like a lot has happened since the early days of Steemit, though. It's obviously not without risk, but if we play our cards right, the Hive price should appreciate a lot.

looking at what the Steem price is doing today, it might have been a good time to buy hive.
When you dont take Leo into account I would argue that old Steemit was better than hive is now, but that is partly due to the lack of users.
