Perfect and very useful analysis!
Like you, I don't take anything out of Hive and in fact I have invested in games and also in second level Tokens.
I have some proxies and everything returns percentages that we could define as "dividends".
However, I believe that a lot depends on the approach you have with Hive and not only; I am currently investing here but also in other crypto projects and classic stocks, I simply accumulate and monthly I try to add as much as possible, then letting the compound interest do its magic.
Of course it is a magic that also requires time but ultimately you invest seriously over long time periods, the earnings made in the short and very short term are the result of speculation and not investments.
This is my idea anyway, I also agree that everyone is free to do what they want with their money but in any case I tend to prefer to support those who care about the ecosystem; then I believe in life we need balance but, in any case, as far as I'm concerned at least half of what has been earned over time must be in HP.
Sorry for the very long reply and thank you for this nice post, your analyses are always helpful and a source of reflections.
I hug you!
Interesting to hear, pretty much the same as me, that 50% keep in Hive is a golden ratio, I think. And it is a longer term thing, as in I'm thinking at least 5 years and often longer... 10, 20 down the line!
Compounding is a beautiful thing, for sure!
Let's say that my time frame is at least 10 years, when I started this was the time frame I had given myself... 2 have passed so there are 8 to go even if then when the time comes I will reevaluate the situation a bit.
In 8 years all in all I will still be young enough to be able to grant myself another 5/10 years of waiting, eh eh!
Let's say that 50% is the perfect percentage in my opinion, considering however that I invest the other 50 in other projects always in the Hive ecosystem; if there were no interesting secondary projects and that I believe can give me something back I would leave 100% in Hive.
