I'll be honest, it was for sure the dollar signs that first got me involved.  I mean being a tech guy I like the tech behind it too, I find that very interesting and that tilted me towards it, but it was definitely the potential for earning that really got me here. Now I am more into how it can change the status quo.  Since I have been through a couple of cycles and I have seen the highs and lows of it.

The fun of entrepreneurship to me was always that even if I had limited funds to invest into my startup, I could invest that sweat equity.  Most crypto ventures out there don't give you that opportunity.  It's a process of invest and wait.  But with Hive, you can invest that sweat equity AND see the potential for market price increase.  It's a win-win on all sides.   Not to mention, there is something therapeutic at times to posting ;)

I have to agree with the second class on this blockchain but sometimes you need to change your path. To be an entrepreneur is to constantly change in any market condition or adversity. 

Passe une belle journée. :) 

I think the builder and stacker mindset pays off. And one doesn't have to rely on chain earnings either.They can use hive as a platform for promoting the work.And that is one of the ways they can build their business while they also stack rewards of Hive.

> Which one do you gravitate towards?

Only 2 mindsets? !lol

All depends on the curent goal and objectives for a particular project.
It doesn't matter to me, what the currency is, be it crypto or fiat, I follow the same business practicves I need to do to make sure I have a profit. No profit, no building of new assets for the next business cycle.

The beauty I see in crypto is that I can reduce expenses and do more with less effort when compared to most web2 platforms. 

I trade a lot and I stay very active most days. I like to follow some tokens more closely for a period of time until I have a very good understanding of what drives its value, or not. In other words, how does it respond to volatility outside of the control of the business the token represents. I am business focused but I do like pleasure so some token trades to me are just for testing the waters. 

> The prices go up and down, and you really had very little if anything to do with it.

That is not true across the board. Trade bots, market makers, including humanoid with resouces do influence prices everyday.

Thanks again for another thought provoking post.

I'm giving you some !beer cause I don't drink it. it's not too old. !fun

I prefer being a builder as well. Focus more on the good projects because 99% of the cryptos out there right now are all about the price. There are a lot of scams so it's way easier to focus on the good projects.

Low prices are great for stacking especially on layer 1. On layer 2 it gets more tricky because lots of projects get abandoned unfortunately. I wonder if there's been any that have been successfully revived but I can't think of any.

Well, one mentality that most people from my country had was that they could make triple of their money from cryptocurrency overnight whereas it was wrong 
That's why so many people expect too high 

Isn't it the same on HIVE? Your posts don't get attraction and you don't earn much at first.
