It's Easy to Think Long Term

Ever pictured what you would do if the value of Hive suddenly matched your dream expectations, I know I certainly have at one point or the other. When lost in these hypothetical scenarios though a good number of us forget to include one simple detail - What needs to be done in other to match expectations.

We think long term without actually thinking long term. It is easy to picture Hive and Hivers as successful without proper conceptualization of the effort and risks each hiver as an individual may need to take. For whatever plan we lay as part of our efforts towards our growth/investment strategy in the space, there is a lot more effort and patience that needs to be exercised.

Patience and effort may be fully capable of standing alone on their own terms, but as an active investor on the hive space they need to be merged and executed in unison. It isn't easy to keep digging for gold when you have no idea what depth the gold lies, or if it is even placed at the right location to begin with. We face a similar analogy with the Hive space (even though there is increased certainty of the proverbial gold).

The drive to keep showing up here everyday either trading, investing, blogging or simply reading and curating requires to a large extent a certain degree of faith in the future of this chain. I reckon if we all knew with some certainty that hive value will hit say $10 in a specific timeframe, the way we operate on the platform will be very different. Delayed gratification for instance would be a lot easier as hivers anticipate a prosperous future.

Choosing to keep putting effort on what for now still remains potential though is a firm affirmation of the platform and product. Similar to the way Angel investors invest, we hivers are betting on the future potential value of the community and its products. But unlike angel investors, we cannot simply place our investments in the hands of others and leave them on auto-run (or can we? CUB DeFi?). For the most part, we need to remain active in a sense to properly grow the assets effectively. As time elapses and the product stalls, we are simply left with our gut instincts or whatever else it is that would push us through.

For hive, there is great motivation to be found in the community where we are able to measure other people's progress and real time developments about the platform. It is a lot easier to plan when we have a visible target to aim at and are constantly challenged by the progress of others as seen on hive.
