Some great thoughts, that really get you thinking. I don't think its all about the money as Jessie J would say, you can get so much more out of it, depending on what your goals and aspirations are.
I think the main thing though is whether someone can connect the dots and see the long term value in investing their time or money in Hive or not.
I suppose down in the deep, we are doing it for the money (too)... But seeing myself and my lack of taking profits, and looking at you, @achim03, @gadrian, and some other friends from HIVE, it looks like we don't care about the money aspect... at least in the short/medium term... lol...
