Perfect and very useful analysis!
Like you, I don't take anything out of Hive and in fact I have invested in games and also in second level Tokens.

I have some proxies and everything returns percentages that we could define as "dividends".

However, I believe that a lot depends on the approach you have with Hive and not only; I am currently investing here but also in other crypto projects and classic stocks, I simply accumulate and monthly I try to add as much as possible, then letting the compound interest do its magic.

Of course it is a magic that also requires time but ultimately you invest seriously over long time periods, the earnings made in the short and very short term are the result of speculation and not investments.

This is my idea anyway, I also agree that everyone is free to do what they want with their money but in any case I tend to prefer to support those who care about the ecosystem; then I believe in life we ​​need balance but, in any case, as far as I'm concerned at least half of what has been earned over time must be in HP.

Sorry for the very long reply and thank you for this nice post, your analyses are always helpful and a source of reflections.

I hug you!
