When HIVE spiked I saw the HIVE value of both my curation rewards and author rewards drop.
I am not sure if this is because more people came onto the platform of if more HIVE rewards savvy bots came on to the platform.
The thing with bots is that they are costly to design but cheap to run. If the drop the drop in rewards was due to bots then, sadly, authors won't see an increase in their HIVE earnings.
Other than that I agree that the best way to use HIVE is to set an investment goal in HIVE and then to start drawing from HIVE after meeting that goal. I have the silly notion that it would be fun to be a dolphin and am 95% of the way to the goal.
Truthfully, I have no idea what the price of HIVE will do. I am not sure if I will be able to pull out more than I put in.
