Might as well take it out while you can. I don’t see hive going to the moon like some people think, but if you have only invested time into it… free money! 😄
The only time I have taken anything out was to buy things from other hive users. This seems the east route. Just sell it to people who want hive. I bought a massive silver bar from someone once. Cost me the equivalent of $100(ish) at the time. (But all money I just earned from yammering on… so free). Now the bar is worth $250!
"But all money I just earned from yammering on" THAT made me laugh!
As I have gotten older, my time seems to feel very valuable....LOL... ticking away, ticking away, but I do know what you mean.
Obviously, yours was a very sound investment.
