I think many people are too focused on the return in fiat value. Then when we see Hive prices go down they get nervous because the FIAT return might not be so glamorous.
But that's short-term thinking.
If we can get people to move away from constantly measuring in FIAT value and look at the return in Hive (or whatever crypto you use), you look at the growth of your "apples" in the form of "apples". You aren't planting apples and expect to harvest grapes...lol.
But when the Hive price goes up...your harvest multiplies. You've got growth in your crypto investment and your increase in FIAT you so desperately wanted will be "sky-rocketing".
You have to buy the seed (Hive) first and plant (invest) it. Then reap your harvest (in Hive). Plant again and reap again until you can then cash in in FIAT when you want to.
The secret is...don't eat your seed...
I'm looking forward to your ' If you thought Hive was great, wait until you get addicted to Hive Engine and then tokens there' post!
