An Experiment- A Compounding Account for my 5 year old!

One of my favorite parts of Hive at the moment is the passive earning potential through curation, staking, and Passive Income tokens like BRO, DHEDGE, INDEX, and UTOPIS. I've steadily built up a solid collection of those tokens on my account and enjoyed watching those tokens steadily generate returns and grow my account. So much so that I've been actively recommending these tokens to people in discord chats as a way to help them grow their account and start earning passively.

I realized something though- I went in pretty heavy on these tokens quickly. I've been recommending these tokens to people but I don't actually know how quickly the earnings pile up if you just have an initial small investment and don't add to the stack periodically.

I've also been considering setting a Hive account up for my daughter, making a couple of token transfers to it, and then compounding the earnings over time until she is old enough to start using social media and things for herself... She is only 5 after all.

So today we are killing two birds with one stone. I've made the account for my daughter and sent over a small amount of each of my favorite passive tokens:

She will be starting with 10 INDEX, 1 UTOPIS, 1 BRO, and 50 DHEDGE.

I've also sent some HIVE over to the account to powerup so it earns the 3% over time, made her account 50% beneficiary on this post, and maybe I'll send some HBD as well from my next post payout:

I've delegated that HP to Ecency immediately as it will earn daily payouts as well as earn the 3% continuously and grow over time.

I will do a check in post periodically about the progress on her account as it builds up with minimal management- pretty much the only thing I plan to do is powerup the hive earnings or use them to buy additional passive income tokens.

Who knows- we may even post some of her artwork and things like that on her account once in a while. For now enjoy some of her most recent work:
