> This earning power continues even when the price is low (just not as fast)

In HIVE terms, it can be faster as there is less competition on the pool - for HBD, it is slower :)

>What's really amazing to me is that any HIVE earned while price is low is then still increased in value when the price goes back up, making those increases even more dramatic.

It is incredible -  a lot of people say "it isn't worth posting" at the lows, but that "worth" is influenced by future price too. If someone has the means to buy a lot at the lows, yeah, it might not be worth posting, but for those who won't buy to invest, it definitely is.

That is awesome! Looking forward to it :) And, think about the curation value at that 2 dollars 5 or 10 dollars worth a day, suddenly becomes 30-60 worth.
