You are very correct, Buy Bitcoin.
Or you can get your hands on some hive/Leo and not put all your investments in one basket

Well bitcoin has a fixed supply, hive and LEO in theory have infinite supply.
I'm pretty sure HIVE also has a cap, just a much higher one due to the nature of our chain. I may be wrong, but I thought gradual reduction of generated supply was part of the plan. I should look it up in the morning if the power is back and I can use a real computer and proper internet instead of the suddenly overcrowded cell network.
Hive has no supply cap. The total inflation will theoretically peter out to 0.5% about 15 years from now (IIRC). But because up to 50% of author rewards are in HBD and because the DAO pays for proposals in HBD, there is much potential for excess inflation.
Inflation is not a bad thing on Hive. HIVE is not a store of value coin. It's currency the purpose of which is to fuel activity, although with enough activity it can appreciate quite a lot. But never confuse its value proposition with that of Bitcoin.

Agreed to some degree. HIVE needs to see constant and sustained demand in order for its price not to continue to trend down over time.
It drops to less than 1% and then stays there forever. Not an ideal setup for increasing the price per coin unless there is continued and sustained demand.
