Definitely more manual labor for HIVE.

I pulled the data and found that you would've made a negative ROI each year buying $10 a day of HIVE (but keep in mind that it uses STEEM price data up until March 23rd).

If you run the report with just straight buying and no earning (and let's face it, earning an APY on HIVE is often what makes the investment worthwhile), then it's a loss.

If you run it with buying + earning a 12-15% APY, then the investment is profitable.

It's all a matter of perspective, but clearly the motivation for investing in HIVE needs to go beyond short-term profits and go toward things like building a community, business or personal brand (in my opinion).
