Hive - The Proactive Investment

I still keep pinching myself how lucky I am to have found Hive as it is a special place that has endless possibilities. When you first start out on your Hive journey it is more about understanding this place than actually earning as that will come later on.

I cherish every day on here as what is there not to like seeing your stake growing and compounding. This takes time and a heap of effort, but I do believe it is all going to be worth every second you spend on here. This is not for now and a much later date maybe even years away who knows. One has to look at Hive as a proactive investment as the busier you are the more you will earn. Many investments do not have the opportunity that Hive has created by adding to them daily by just doing things you enjoy anyway.

Applying the same principle as you would to any business is what I have done and that is to not deplete the stake by powering down what you have already made. This is the long term thinking as what would be a number that one could live off in the future? I have no clue and a 23 cent Hive doesn't solve any financial worries as it is just not life changing.

I was chatting in discord tonight and mentioned Hive doesn't have to hit $100 to be life changing as a simple $5 would do just that. With the hardfork around the corner later this week your stake will be worth x amount on your voting power guaranteeing you a set amount as long as you use it daily. i am curently sitting on around 90c for a full vote which is roughly eaqual to 4 Hive. do the maths and 10 votes at 4 Hive per day really means 20 Hive for everyone I vote on and 20 Hive for growth. The $5 Hive would then mean $100 per day or $3000 per month if the price holds which is a great number as a passive income.

I have read @erikah's post about using crypto as a pension fund and have a similar goal in mind and was part of the reason for committing 5 years to growing my Hive account. One doesn't have to stop at 5 years however as the more stake you have the easier it is to earn even more. I think the idea of what is possiblw is what is the driving force making sure I stay active every day.

Tracking your growth should be what every serious Hivean does and I have been doing this since about the second month over 3 years ago now. That mindset was driven home by the Redfish League that was run by @paulag and @abh12345 to help with user retention, but it also set users on the right path understanding how to grow. Those values is what I have stuck to and why I don't think it has been such a huge struggle to grow from 0 to where I am today. Just by keeping a record you will push yourself to new highs as every day the numbers go up no matter what. This system applies to all the tribes as there is no difference as long as you remain busy and active.

A prime example is I had a goal this year of achieving 10 000 Leo and that target is still very much alive even though I had sent over 2000 Leo to LBI. Who knows what price Leo will be in the future with the Leobridge in operation and wasn't even part of my passive income thinking. Wherever you look on Hive there is value in most things and at some point many will bear fruit.
