This is a question of that sort that would seem to be easy to answer.
When you start earning the first time on Hive, it is exciting. You write, you are involved and then you begin to receive rewards. Naturally the first thought which comes to mind is: Can I claim this money now or can I multiply it?
I have at both ends several times.
The idea behind Powering Up is straightforward. You are investing yourself back in the platform. The more power you have, the more serious you are perceived to be in the ecosystem.
It is like planting seeds.
It will not make you have the entire benefit at the moment, but it works out at time. The more you vote, the more you can be there, and you start to establish yourself as an individual, who is heading towards a long-term project.
This makes a lot of sense.
When you believe in the platform, and you are determined to be consistent then power up will be like telling yourself that you are here to stay.
But there's still the Cash Out side of it.
And here comes in reality.
Not everybody is as well-off. There are other people relying on the revenue they receive online to meet their offline demands. Bills don’t wait. Needs do not rest to make long term value creation.
Sometimes, it is even worth cashing in your earnings. Not that you do not believe in growth, but simply because there is life which exists outside the platform and which must be satisfied.
In my situation, I have grasped that I need not make this or that decision.
Initially, it appears to be a nice thought to go either all the way and turn everything off or empty the wallet. But overtime, I realized that a more moderate stance would be more reasonable.
Some of that is put in growth.
What I have also understood is that attitude matters a lot here.
You will want to cash out when you consider Hive as a temporary phenomenon. But when you consider it as a platform, you are building something - your voice, your network, your consistency then it becomes worth more to power up.
Not that much about immediate gratification but positioning.
The end of the day will not be judgmental on whether a strategy is right or wrong.
All you need is just experience on Hive as a platformand Express yourself.
It is essential to construct, and therefore to stay in touch with reality not to lose it.
If i were to answer it in a word:
Power up if you're thinking long term.
Borrow a Cash Out when you require it in life.
The secret lies in the fact that one should know when to do either of them, and not to be guilty of it.
