First of all, congratulations on completing 3 years on the Hive. It will take a few more months for my third year anniversary here.
1500 Hive is so cool, it is almost like 28,000 Rs if I'm not wrong. That's a big investment. I personally stopped bringing FIAT into Hive anymore. Sometimes I used to think that I should invest around 1 or 2 lakh in one shot here to make use of the PoS system but then I used to remember the investment I did when the price was at 5$, 2.5$, 1$ and then 40 cents. Thinking about all that makes me reconsider bringing in anymore FIAT from outside.
One of the driving forces of powering up is also that, this is Proof of Stake platform which means the more Hive Power you have the more Hive you can generate by curation.
This is one of the reasons why I always wanted to increase my stake here as well. I haven't done cashing out even once here. All the income from the chain is either powered up or invested in games like Splinterlands and dCity. Having a good stake here helps in terms of networking as well as getting more attention.
