I agree. While obviously the goal is for people to "make money" in Hive and the crypto world in general, a person really needs to go into it with the mindset of "what value can I bring to the community". If you view things through that lens, I think the long-term potential will be massive and you'll be able to handle the ups and downs of the market. If people focus on providing value and not taking value the results of the network effect will end up being exponential and there will be plenty for everyone down the road. The Age of Abundance will truly be realized. It's going to take a while, obviously, and there will certainly be points where you can, and probably should, extract a little value along the way, but overall we're still so early I think the focus needs to be on building and not taking.

It's important to have a healthy and active platform. That's attractive for outsiders and that is what will bring a lot of people to Hive. We have a superb opportunity in front of us where people can monetize their content. They can earn something for content they've been sharing for free for decades, but it takes hard work and consistency. A lot of people doesn't seem to realize that because they look at the trending pages or whatever.. They see others having a lot more success etc.
They see the $ and not what a person might have done previously.

Totally agree. I've posted about that very thing in the last couple weeks. My Michael Jordan analogy. You can't just show up and become wealthy. It's a process and it takes days that turn into weeks that turn into months that turn into years. Seriously, if you just stay with the program, you can eventually earn a very nice amount without the price of the token even moving. Ideally, we all want it to go significantly higher, but if you built a large enough stake, you could be earning a couple hundred dollars a day just curating and posting. I'm sure some of the whales do that already...
