Keeping the HIVE on you also has a very long-term advantage. But not everyone decides to do it.
For example, I have never withdrawn 1% of what I have, and if I had because I would have thought something else would be more lucrative, I would probably be in the same position as I am now. Simply because these markets go par on par...
In the past, using something to take profits completely moved me away from why I was doing it in the first place.
For example, people play games on their phones to get cents... and sometimes it takes like days to get 1 dollar paid for their PayPal wallet (and yes, I have done it too). But why do they do it? Not for the fun I am sure, but just because of the grind.
And they totally forget! What if instead of playing them, you are "making them"! Or selling them... or marketing them... or explaining how to use something that allows you to make these games?
It looks very "hard"... but currently that is changing (if not already changed). So the excuse is not there anymore.
Anyhow, my point is... earning can't be something everyone does, otherwise, where is the value? it has to be unique... it has to be different...
Even if many don't do it, you can still win more here than on X... (for example).
