I look at my Hive reputation as I would value any business. What is the potential future revenue I can make from Hive times some multiple to give a valuation.
this is not to say that I am on Hive purely to earn money, but the fact that I can earn money from the things I do here means that I am able to devote my time to this platform.
I may even value my account on hive higher than anyone else would, but a conservative valuation for others to look at might be five times an annual earning potential of an account.
I would also argue that powered up Hive and savings as HBD add to this valuation completely over the top, and I perhaps that should also carry a multiple as well because once you have powered up Hive you’ve already made a statement that you believe in the future of the collective platform. That in itself is another investment.
Reputation allows us to run services here which don’t have to be completely trustless (which is always an incredibly high technical bar) but where trust is a small fraction of the reputation value of the party you are trusting. Combined with making the arrangements indelible on the Hive Blockchain.
I have to disagree with that. An older, well established account tends to start growing exponentially. If you factor in other opportunities it's downright priceless :)
Could probably say multiply by the number of years on chain with good standing as well. That would be a very large extra.
It really would, because each year tends to add a lot, both in social capital and account potential.
