Well I see it as more than just an investment and I am not that bothered about the money really. I know that makes me unusual, but if a few others think the same way then we have the possibility of building something. I know most of the witnesses do not make a profit and many who went to Steemfest spent more than they have made getting there.
I enjoy the Hive experience much as billions enjoy using other social platforms for no reward. I get more engagement here than elsewhere despite the lack of users whilst giving out several dollars each day in rewards. Some guy bought about 2 million HIVE recently, so he must believe in it.
Feel free to post about your socks if it makes you happy.
