Does the currency exchange rate lower the price of Hive?

I've been reading through blogs lately and a lot of people I haven't read before, as I manually curate I put effort into reading posts and occasionally I provide a different upvote amount. Of course I have a few authors I like to support and often provide them a bigger upvote and sometimes just skim through their work.

I think it's important to support good authors and support.the people you like to follow. I often expand outside of my usual circle to help others.grow. I am on the @curie and @ocd curation trail for.when I sleep which allows my account to keep giving and me keep earning.

But a few common themes emerged over the past few weeks in regards to cost of living and some really interesting points were raised.

I learned Australia is expensive and the basics here can quickly amount to more than a weekly wage in other countries. Quality of life is alot different here and Australians do get paid good wages where many do not.

Which led me to thinking does the disparity in currencies impact the block chain?

Everyone wants to be free and to get freedom requires economic success which by the looks of things Hive and Leo is providing to many people. Some countries $350 is all you need to live a good life and that is quite easily achieved from the block chain.

At current I think around $6000 USD will provide you a $250 weekly ROI. That amount of money for me wouldn't even cover transport costs to and from work for the week and probably half my fortnightly food bill. I have myself, my wife, two children and my mother in law so $500 a fortnight is probably quite on par.

It's actually quite possible to make $US50 a day times that by 7 and there is your $350 per week. I think it's a great economic opportunity for others and really does help people live their lives.

But for myself and I'm guessing other western nations $350 ,a week wouldn't break the bank and would be seen more as a savings rather than a cash out. So this mix of staking, selling, living would he providing a significant amount of buy and sell pressure.

I don't know what the impacts are as Hive and Leo has still managed to grow and reach ATHs and having the ability to earn a wage would draw more people into the community.

An economic cycle with a use case seems to be working well and leading to further developments, I'm part inclined to think that the economic opportunities provided by Hive and Leo are what's keeping it afloat and successful.

I hope to one day to reach a position where I can sustain a living or perhaps utilise my account to fund my retirement. At my current rate of growth and investment I'm able to add more each month.

Taking the risk and planning on Hive still being here in 30+ years and what it would look like is a big risk but one I'm willing to take.

And who knows in 5 - 10 years time Hive and Leo could well very be a $5 and $10 + token changing the world and economies.

But I want to know what you think about it and how you see the future.
