I understand your thought on this @raikuhen and it's undoubtedly a common sentiment.
Personally, I look at it as an investment (mostly time) and so the long-term growth of HIVE will benefit me. So my approach is to put as much effort into the HIVE ecosystem and be part of it yielding what we hope is a comfortable and reasonable return.
Of course, I am employed so I can pay the bills, so it's easier for someone in my position to think long-term and much harder for someone who is at a disadvantage financially and may rely on these type of earnings.
It's definitely a balancing act between stacking and powering down. Not easy.
