We made the same observations as you. Yes, it is preferable to invest if you have to make the earning / time ratio. In this case **hive **will no longer be **decentralized **but centralized on investors with $$$$. This is why we are afraid to invest because we are looking for a real sharing communities.

Decentralization is determined by the ratio of investment. A centralized platform has just a few investors with the activity swirling around the small number of investors. A decentralized system will have thousands of investors.
IMHO, HIVE suffers from a concentration of wealth. There are a few investors with huge upvotes and a large number of people who dump there coins as they earn them.
For the platform to achieve its potential it needs to have hundreds of thousands of people holding between $100 and $1000 in HIVE.
I think the best approach to the platform is for users to decide the amount that they want invested in the platform. A good starting point is to look at the curation rewards.
HIVE does not payout curation rewards below 0.001 HIVE. Your curation rewards are determined by the HP in your account. One needs about 60 HP before the account starts receiving curation rewards. One needs to have about 120 HP before receiving a curation reward for each upvote.
A good investment strategy might be to buy a 100 HIVE and to sell off HIVE whenever the account has over 200 HIVE.
The minimum payout for a post is $0.02. When I decided to buy HIVE I decided I wanted to have enough HP so that my upvote was worth 0.02. That way, people would receive the upvotes for comments. That currently happens with a $520 investment. You can test different investments with The upvote calculator
