Yes fair point, my figures are assuming everything stays very level, I hadn't actually factored in the increased curation returns. I guess in this model it means you'd be able to take more out on the way up.
TBH I do these posts more as pointer to how easy it is to grow, and sort of as a dig at people who just cash out more than they earn!
As far as I'm concerned if you're not growing your account, then just fuck off the platform.
Likewise I try and inspire others to grow their stake. if you cannot grow on hive with all the various avenues of growing your stake then there is no hope. Those taking out will regret their actions because at some point it won't be this easy and then they are cooked because they offer no value.
