I hope that buying HIVE works out for you. When I wrote the post, HIVE was trading at $0.11. The price went insane. I hope you didn't buy at the peak!
The price spike happened because several new exchanges started selling HIVE which created an artificial demand.
It is great that you have HIVE. The problem with hive.blog is that it lacks a middle class. The platform desperately needs accounts in the thousand dollar range.
I just looked at the upvote calculator . It says that 2521 HP at 100% currently gives an upvote of $0.033. Each upvote consumes 2% of your voting power. Voting power regenerates at 20% a day. People usually only upvote 10 times a day. That would distribute $0.33 per day. The curator gets half of the payout.
The site HiveBlocks.com shows info about your account:

It says that you used 40% of your upvote power. It will take 2 days to completely regenerate.
Everything on Hive goes by a seven day cycle. The payout comes exactly seven days after a person writes a post. Upvoting a post that is more than seven days old does not get a payout. So upvoting a post that is more than seven days old is futile.
It is generally best to make sure that you have an active post on your blog when you upvote. A lot of people will see your upvote. They will then come into your account and upvote your current post.
It is a silly game.
The best way to play the game is to write a post. Then upvote posts with the same tags. A large number of people visit the accounts of the people who upvoted their account. This is especially true when the value of the upvote is over $0.02.
I hope I didn't steer you wrong. HIVE was an incredible buy 20 days ago .... when it was $0.11.
Thank you for the info. You are a very helpful Hivian. I bought at $0.18 and powered up right away, I wish I didn't and sold off and bought back in. Oh well I am still up from what I was at.
I am glad to hear that.
The game now is to see if you can pull out more money than you put in. The well timed buy might help. I would not be surprised to see the equity drop back to $0.11.
When one thinks about the game: the only way for me to cash out is for someone else to buy in. Since there is a fixed amount of currency, there must be people who spend more than they gain.
This is actually true of most equities. Good luck.
