Your analysis is well understood and sound. Hive is seem as a source of livelihood to us while we spend so much time and resources for peanut. For instance, data cost is very expensive and we even pay to charge our phone which is costly too but we keep striving hard to support and uplift the essence of the platform like power up exercise etc
And these efforts should not be trivialised. I believe many people from this part of the world are contributing significantly to the chain. They might not have stake but they make up for this with their on-chain activities. This is as important as stake
We staked and love the exercise but we do it according to our financial strength. Though little, but huge in compare with our net worth and meage income.
