Lower Prices Equates To More Opportunities To Grow

source Thinking long term price shouldn't matter.

We have seen the Hive price on a slippery slide over the last few days and even though it is not pleasant it is healthy apparently. I suppose it gives traders and investors a chance to load up and benefit from the next wave up.

I have never had tons of anything in the past so a price drop was never really noticed but now that I have accumulated more Hive losing 25% or more in a short time period is not exactly fun times. I used to feel sorry for users having hundreds of thousands of staked tokens as we are talking losses on paper that could buy a new car and a decent one at that.

The real beauty about Hive however is as long as it is staked you are also limiting your losses due to it's earning potential. Every day you are active on the block chain you are earning and giving to others at the same time. Investors on the exchanges don't have that option yet we can grow whilst still going backwards in monetary value. Price doesn't really mean that much to the staked accounts right now as who is going to sell their hard earned Hive for 20 cents.

Having grown my account from zero over 30 months or so the value is far more than the market price. A majority of the Hive earned was really hard and has taken serious commitment and time. For that reason the Hive account is more of a personal achievement and the value is more treasured than just dollar signs. I think many feel the same way as how do you put a price or value on time? Time is not something you ever get back and personally I have spent thousands of countless hours on here. If it doesn't pay off at least you have given it your best shot and that is all you can ask of yourself.

At the same time you can't ignore the dollar price as we all want economic and financial freedom at some point. Crypto is the one thing that can change in such a short period of time through it's volatility. One day you are a millionaire and the next week you are struggling again. This tells us it is still early in the crypto world and we have time to grow and become bigger before some sort of stability arrives.

A lower priced Hive is good for everyone as it allows opportunity for everyone to not only buy more if they have the funds, but to do more each day. The busier you are when others quieten off and do less is your gain as the percentage of the reward pool is bigger. It seems strange that people do less when the opposite thought process should apply. My biggest growth spurt was when the last time the token dropped in value and was hoping it would stay there for a lot longer than it did.

I have never been more positive on something in my life before and know that this place and everyone on it will do well over the coming years. Sometimes you just get a good feeling about something and don't ask me how or why, but you just seem to know.
