You often hear the word consistency being used in describing growth with crypto stake and this is the ingredient that makes things happen. I do not see being active on HIVE as work and this is more about enjoyment supporting like minded people in the community. We all want to grow our stake and who knows maybe even a whale further down the line, but that could be months away or years away depending on how this cycle treats us.
Crypto being an instant path to riches is a fallacy and we all know one needs to spend multiple cycles growing their bags before they actually can say they have some type of dollar value. My goal of unlocking $1 million within 2 cycles is still in play and will only know later this year if it can be achieved or not. I believe it will be close and have no problem even If I miss this target. This is more of a game I play as I am 100% confident this number will be surpassed during the next cycle.
All we can do each day is grow our stake and leave the markets in the hands of the gods as price is an uncontrollable factor we cannot influence. HIVE for me is a back up pension plan if required and thinking long term who knows what that number will be. As a passive income stream there is no other crypto that comes close and why I feel relatively confident and relaxed where we will be in 10 years from now.
It is amazing to think what is possible if you remain consistent and what value that can unlock over a lengthy period of time. Crypto is a wealth builder if you give it a chance to grow and don't keep dipping into your stake diluting the growth. To think that the 156K HP I have accumulated today has been grown from 0 in just 86 months is proof consistency does work. Sure it is not easy starting out but as the months and years tick over the growth does become easier as stake makes more stake through the APR and curation we earn when supporting others in the community.
A few years ago I had a 62 HIVE daily target and today have no targets due to the stake having grown those rewards which are increasing bit by bit each month. I look forward to the day that my account can earn 100 HIVE daily through curation and APR only which would be a great passive income stream. Even with todays prices of HIVE being around $0.25c earning 100 HIVE daily would still be worth $750 monthly. With some quick calculations one would need around 300K HP in order to unlock the 100 HIVE rewards daily.
HIVE does not need to be at $5 or $10 in order to generate real life value and just $1 or $2 would do that as long as you have stake. Hard to imagine that something you enjoy doing could generate $3K-$6K monthly because you grew the stake by being consistent. I have always believed the real wealth and value is not the total dollar value, but more in what the stake can generate as an income stream. Growing the stake unlocks so many possibilities and kind of guarantees yourself financially security even if it takes you 10 or 15 years to achieve.
