Thanks for sharing your story!
To this time on Hive (and back in Steem) I have never really explored into the tokens that earn passive yield, until recently when I have started accumulating different community tokens and staking them.
When Hive-Engine was launched I was surprised to see that almost none of our Hive whales was investing in any of the tokens... After this long bear market, when I see most of the tokens on their knees, I realize that maybe they weren't wrong at all... 😃
It's like with BTC and altcoins... Every1 tries to find that "golden opportunity" by buying altcoins left and right, while those who just HODLed BTC earned a lot more by doing nothing...
BTW, don't get me wrong... I was in the group that was buying H-E tokens... lol... 😃
