Field Of Dreams
I think ever since I started on the block chain I knew it had earning possibilities but never thought or realised how much. Once you start breaking things down and simplifying them it becomes fairly obvious if all the stars line up what is possible. To be honest they don't even have to line up that straight either as the potential is here already. It is a bit like that Kevin Costner film "Field Of Dreams", build it and they will come.
Arriving on just over two years ago the thought I had was another opportunity missed as I am too late to the party. How wrong I was but it motivated me like never before to get ahead and not waste that. Users arriving today can still be considered early adopters but need to understand the opportunities that are here and not spurn them like many have before and left as they never found instant rewards.The rewards are here if you are prepared to work for them in many forms whether it is posting or curating or better still both.
I always wanted to be in the position of having some value with a vote not thinking that the curation benefits would become a major earner. In the past before the 50/50 and self voting curation was just something you did without ever considering the earning potential.
50/50 split on post rewards changed that overnight though giving the smaller accounts a chance to at least start earning something. I think this was important to the accounts who had been around a while, but hadn't really grown that much. Now many of these accounts are experienced at the art of curation and timings to maximise whatever they have as voting power.
On Hive today if your account has around 14 000 Hive your vote is worth around 1 Hive so in other words you will upvote with around 10 Hive per day. Recently we experienced Hive being at $1 so that vote with 14 000 Hive staked would equate to $1. Now two or three years down the line Hive has risen in value and is for example $4 in value and the account has 3 x as much Hive staked which is very possible. That account is now voting with $12 votes and with curation being what it is should expect to pocket $1800 per month by just voting.
I know this does sound ridiculous to think that someone can read something and vote accordingly and earn a living from this. The accounts that are much bigger holding more stake are well aware of the possibilities that lie ahead and $4 I believe is very doable for what this block chain offers. Steem made over $8 and that was not nearly as good as what the offerings are on here today.
The way the world is moving today with so much uncertainty I believe it is only a matter of time before the popularity of sites like Hive take off. We have been saying this a while now wondering when mass adoption will happen but the world has never been so mixed up like it is now. Unemployment and people sitting at home with no prospects will find these types of sites so they can try better their financial position.People will be desperate and will have no choice and it may take a few years but they will come. It is not a question of if, but when will this happen?
I have always underestimated the value of curation. I am just now learning how big of a deal it can be.
Dear new member of HIVE, you have made a big mistake by signing up here. Here on this Blockchain you are surrounded by abuse of power and the greed of some who determine what happens here.
If you publish here, make sure that you publish only what is beneficial to the owners of the assets on HIVE. You must never express your own opinion or criticize anyone. If you do, the powerful will destroy your account and take every cent from you.
You will soon find out that you only earn a few cents here. Others, on the other hand, sometimes get extremely rich. Look around, you'll soon find that some people get 2 or even 3 digit $ amounts for small contributions, but you don't even get 50 cents.
Here's an example of a witness with his powerful friends called @pfunk destroying a small account of a non-profit organization and destroying all donations. He has disadvantaged and socially weak handicapped persons, seniors but also people who raise a child alone, harmed very much. Surely you do not want to support such a block chain that allows such a thing. Do you? In the contributions all data, inclusive registration with the court - address and further data are listed. You see this is an official charity.
You can read the contributions in which this witness expressed himself here. As you can see he tried to destroy the contributions, but you can still see them.

I know you'd like to earn a few cents too. That's why I'd like to show you some alternatives
Hive was originally the Blockchain Steem. Steem is still the bigger and much more active chain. There you can get a free account from me including a delegation of power that is on the account. Just enter as a comment - Steem account and I will get back to you. https://steemit.com/
At the beginning of July Voice ( voice.com ) will end its beta phase and be available worldwide. There will be no powerholders like here. A capital of 150 million US $ was made available there. I think this system will be very successful.
With these comments, I welcome every new member on HIVE. I have access to hundreds of accounts and you can't turn that off.
In terms of return on investment, Hive has nearly infinite ROI. Let's say that my account built up to 14,000 Hive and that each vote would be about 1 Hive, as you calculated.
If I remain at 14,000 Hive and give out votes every day, at some point I will have awarded more hive than the 14,000 I hold. In terms of charitable giving, one large investment can go a long way towards providing income for many people continuously. It's a poor man's endowment.

I see this exactly as a type of retirement fund. No one knows how well it will do but I will take my chances as a worse case scenario there is passive income. The beauty is you can curate whilst also getting your interest paid daily. 14 000 is around 28 Hive per month on interest alone and then you have curation rewards as well. The account will keep growing even if you aren't around for weeks at a time as long as you have the curation set on auto. My thinking is to get as large as possible in order to have choices as that is exactly what you will have even if Hive is at $1 or $10 or whatever the price is.
