Cash out, or live of your rewards?

This is a question I have asked myself a lot before. What would I do, if I had an amount of Hive that would be of such value, that it is hard to resist to cash out? Would you take the money and run? Or would you do something else? I think I have it figured out for myself.

Partly powering down and still growing my account

If you had 200000 USD worth of Hive in your Hive Power, you would easily earn about 2250 Hive per month in curation rewards only. I am not even talking about posting rewards here. A bit of posting would boost those rewards to maybe even 3000 Hive per month. And of course some HBD. Those HBD would go straight into the savings account. But I would power down about 1750 HP every month. That way, my account would still be growing stronger than inflation is right now. If that isn't sweet. The 1750 would be used of course to up my standard of living. And I would dump about 500 USD per month into a mix of stock and hedge funds. Because, that is where my knowledge is, as it is my job to sell and maintain customers funds. I would definitely know which funds to dump them into every month, which would build another income source for the future.

This one wouldn't even buy you a bread

All that is not spent that month, I would power up again. That way, the stack keeps growing even bigger.

Well, a man can dream, can't he... ;-) But actually, I have a feeling this "dream" picture is actually entirely reachable within a reasonable amount of time. And for you too, you know!

Sincerely,
