**Crypto for most parts seems like one big game, but this is very real as significant value s are being printed out of thin air. Once regulation hits this will be even more real.**


If you had asked this question when we were experiencing the all time highs then most would answer this with a yes. The markets have removed roughly 90% of portfolio values over the last 18 months or so, but the value is still there. 

The way I judge things is simply by what others can afford with the people I know in the real world. My portfolio is around the $55K mark in todays prices and being honest not many would have that type of cash lying around to throw into crypto. Judging by the economy very few households are even saving monthly and investing is the furthest thought from their minds right now. We have our money printers turned on and they will remain on permanently even if the economy drops further.

When mass adoption happens every man and his dog will be buying into crypto and it is good to gauge where you currently lie if that happened tomorrow. One thing for sure is prices will rise due to the volume of new money entering the market which would boost your portfolio values even more.

When I look at my Hive stake and the value it holds I see far more than just the monetary values as it is not for sale. Hive at $5 would have me close to $500K or maybe more as one must include all the other investments like Leodex tribal tokens and whatever else you have been involved in. I can assure you there are very few people who could afford that type of investment as now this is showing significant value.

Each investment we have right now maybe showing only a $1k or possibly $5k but it is the head start that others don't have. We know most of what we have can do a 5 x or 10 x within a very short period of time justifying the work and time we have sacrificed along the way.

The beauty of what we have is the ability of the stake making far more distancing ourselves even further from those not involved in crypto yet. Every day, every month that ticks over the value is just increasing at a quicker rate. The other major factor when you talk about value is the investments we have are established with very little maintenance required.

The time it takes to research each project must be thrown into the equation as this holds tremendous value as well over and above the monetary value.

Very few people around the world are in the financial positions we are currently as we are so far ahead of everyone else.  Many of us are looking at ways of creating a passive income with many streams and others are worrying about how they are going to pay their bills at the end of each month. We definitely are seeing things differently than most and why it is well worth working towards achieving our goals and surpassing them.
