To me the answer is easy. Though my answer seems complicated to others. My ideology is not about what is best for my hive time but what is best for Hive over a long time. Not the purpose of this post so I won't go into all of that.

I have noticed that the best for an individual on Hive is determined by the location a person is in.

To me cashing out one Hive for a better life would not do much good. There would be nothing I could do with 1 Hive but buy some penny jellies in the local shop. That is if the local shop accepted HIVE as a payment. To many other in other locations, the benefits of 1 HIVE could be the difference of food on the plate or not.

Unfortunately, when the cash out is done. It generally needs to be converted back to FIAT and then spent. The use of Hive for a purchase is not really there. Saying that, HIVE is enriching the lives of people in some places that make use of the Hive Blockchain. There is no doubt about that.

In Ireland though. Things are not so easy. Or the cost of living is so high and growing quicker than incomes, it seems hopeless to be relying on what HIVE can do. This can be said for many other countries too like the UK Australia and the States of America.

It seems what is best to be done with HIVE gained is down to location more than anything else and the relative value of local currency in comparison to the US Dollar.
