I’m plugging away for the same reasons. I’m working on getting a little better at keeping some powder for the beneficial days, whenever those may arise. If I could sell a few hundred hive internally and then buy it back when it gets half the price or better I would consider that a solid win for the day.
I’ve seen people go nuts and buy all kinds of HBD with their stake, powering down and going all in. It’s a strategy that’s for sure but I don’t think it’s the right one, as hive has far more potential than HBD for making good gains. Plus factor in the curation rewards and inflation, you’re looking at a quicker increase to the stake than HBD in my opinion.
Some of the spikes that do that are very fast, so having the sell in waiting is the way to do it. Then, buy back the next day.
People like that security and I guess if you have enough, 20% is pretty good :) However, what is enough?
