What are you doing with your Steem holdings? Will you keep buying Hive when there won't be any more Steem to kill?

The last few days I was wondering what are people doing with their Steem holdings as they are powering down their Steem stake. I mean, the vast majority of the active users, whether we are referring to content creators / curators and developers have migrated to Hive 100%, right?

Last time I checked and with all due respect to the Chinese / Korean communities 9 out of the 10 posts in every community I was registered into on Steem were written either in Chinese or Korean language.

Not attractive at all...


That being said, Asher's latest post came right on time.

He did his magic using sql(?) and presented the top 60 or so accounts who have powered up the most, ever since Hive officially launched, and surprise surprise...I was on that list.

I didn't expect that at all to be honest with you but it seems that I have purchased significant amounts of HIVE tokens the last couple of months without even realizing it...

My Steem stake when I pressed the powerdown button for the first time in my 2+ years of that journey was 38K SP.

I am now sitting at 86K HP.

If you do the math you'll understand that I've spent a fair amount of money (for my standards) to buy more Hive tokens than what my SP could buy me, even if I did convert all of the 38K Steem tokens to Hive tokens...(which I didn't)...

This is what I call commitment. Putting your money where your mouth is, is the only way to set an example.

Actions speak louder ya know...Besides, I do not self vote and I only enjoy some returns via curation. Which is good for the content creators I vote for :)

With that said and exactly because Hive's inception was gift for us all, I am really curious to see if people will keep powering up their accounts when their Steem powerdowns are over.

And I ain't talking about powering up their earnings from blogging, but if they will keep buying Hive tokens so that they have skin in the game...The thing is that there won't be any more Steem to kill a couple of weeks from now....

The next few weeks are definitely going to be interesting...

We might see some price action...the real question is...to which direction.

No one is obligated to convert their Steem holdings to Hive tokens and diversifying one's portfolio is a wise choice if you ask me. That's exactly how I managed to buy 2x the Hive tokens my Steem power could buy me.

Because I've been expanding my crypto portfolio the past 12 months or so and some of my other holdings are doing more that great. In case you wonder...ZIL and DGB are responsible for my Hive growth...

That doesn't mean I intend to stop buying Hive in small chunks every now and then. I strongly believe that Hive WILL perform according to its potential and will reach to heights that Steem couldn't because of its centralized authority...

So how about you? where are you sitting on @abh12345's list?
