This is spot on. I was around for the previous +$3 spike, and wow what a feeling it was to see my HIVE value grow enormously that week. I didn't have much at the time, and was not worthwhile to withdraw, so I let it ride, and also bought more when prices were down, knowing that eventually, we will get another rise and spike. That's the way both crypto and stock market works, it flows up and down.
Yes, when we get another big spike, then I'll likely withdraw some and leave the other half or so in there to keep building. It's kind of like fishing, or hunting, pulling out one to eat now and then while you let the others grow and multiply. This both sustains and builds. The smart way to invest with the least risk really. Especially given the way we can build value by posting and curating. This is what truly sets Hive apart from the other crypto's and many people fail to realize that building small amounts now will multiply many times when the prices go up again.

Sometimes I wonder if the way I see it is backwards but I don't really think so. I keep talking about powering up for additional curation and to have some tokens for when the price increases but so few actually do it...just a few smart ones like you and I and some of the older accounts, and a few of the smarter new ones. It seems (generally) that most see it as instant reward and put no mind to the gains that will come down the track which will not go well for them when the price increases. That doesn't seem so wise.
Also, don't waste those token call-ups on me, I see them as worthless and a little bit of a blot on my posts to be honest.
Exactly right, those folks doing the immediate gratification constant withdrawals will be the loudest ones crying when the hodlers are dancing... lol.
And roger that on the tokens, they rather new to me and just exploring them. Also have yet to see any real value in them other than an occasional pat for someone that cares. I also don't care for their auto-reply noise, it would be nicer I think just to have the little gif like an enhanced smiley face and leave it at that.
Cry babies. Lol.
I think those token things are pointless to be honest, no value really, and they clog up people's posts. I have them all muted in my communities and if new ones come along I mute them also. It used to be a thing, now they're just annoying. (Just my opinion.)
