Wise words and I agree with you 100%! You brought up the lottery winner case but it's kind of the same on Hive. Some users can't resist temptation. As soon as they have some stake, they cash it out as showing off means more to them. Then come back, post about how hard life is to get more.
In reality, wealth is a mental game. It is one where what takes place between our ears is a representation of what will happen to us.
Education and mental strength is key here.
I keep hoping these people on Hive and Leo will learn something but in three years I see the same thing over and over again. I guess some people never change. Other people's appreciation (even if for just a moment) means everything, versus long time financial freedom. It's sad though.

You point out something important. Most people simply do not learn. They keep doing the same thing over and over again.
I guess that is why they call it the definition of insanity.
The key to Hive success is to keep building. But cashing everything that comes in is not a path to huge success in my opinion.
One needs to be committed and part of that is financial.

These people need to understand that the support (upvote) they get is possible because users like us have been building instead of cashing out. If most of us would cash out most of our earnings, there would be no support at all for anyone.
