carrying only costs with no utility for eighteen years.
It's definitely something to think about for those thinking of having kids in this day and age. Not a great investment :p
I think to me I'd wanna get one or two when I know that money isn't and won't be an issue for a long time. There are also a lot of things people will have to consider how they do nowadays with Internet having taken over and being accessible to everyone at any age easily. I don't think it's something I'd want my kids to grow up with early on seeing how social media is built up these days and how it is affecting those having grown up constantly around it.
I'm in the same boat, though, where I wouldn't need too much to be content with the money situation. No luxury required here, mostly just helping family out so they don't have to work too hard for it or too long and they as well can eventually enjoy some more time with their bad 18 year investments.
I have been thinking about what would happen if Hive were to get to a price where you could sell some off and live without worry for the rest of years. I wonder how much I'd want to keep here knowing in case I'd need to I'd still get something out of it at some point no matter the price at the time. Will be interesting to see who is going to be content with what they've managed to take out by then and who will stay staked up to use it for the future of the chain and more importantly what they will do with it.
As volatile as crypto is, one really doesn't need to choose. Just take some out during obvious temporary pumps, then buy back low and power that up. The best of both worlds :) ...
This is the plan - I fail every pump though!!
In what way???
Wise of you to think of having kids when you can afford it, as so many make the mistake of having kids and then life happens. We have many small boys at the traffic lights begging for money every day.
Life definitely happens, even when prepped for kids :)
There is a popular saying; You make your plans and then life happens.
A terrible investment - but the smart ones might be good value down the track.
I am so glad that we kept Smallsteps largely analog for so long. Compared to many of her friends, she probably seems an idiot considering she can't use any tech, but I am pretty sure I can teach her down the track.
This would be nice. Just a little extra here and there.
For sure. I am planning to stay pretty well staked into the foreseeable future, but I also think that I have to start taking something out on the spikes at least, so then I can buyback on the inevitable dips. I would also love to be able to use it for chain investment into new applications and businesses on Hive. :)
