I have definitely withdrawn Hive for real world purposes. I think that is one of the strengths of the blockchain and it's utilities. I am fond of utilitarian coins.
What is interesting about Hive - and other blockchains - to me is that they have absolutely no value other than the value that the people who use it provide it. Hive has value because we, the users, say it has value. It's a strange thing.
It's all a little weird, crypto I mean.
Some will take out some value and others won't, or at least, not right away. There's some rather draconian tax laws here so it's not at all a straightforward thing to take and use crypto.
