Factors That Influence My Investment Decisions in Cryptocurrency
Blockchains and the gamification of cryptocurrency's are nice and all but If we detach financial incentives derived from speculative analysis when we want to make our choices in acquiring specific type of cryptocurrency, say there were no sort of financial returns, just based on what they can do as a native currency, Hive is definitely one of the cryptocurrency's that will top the chart, how many others can you say this for?
With Hive, you have access to a robust protocol that is decentralized, censorship resistant, a governable system through the tactics employed by the most advanced method the world of blockchain technology has yet seen, DPOS, Delegated proof of stake, which is directly fostering the most advanced mode of distribution presently in the world of cryptocurrency on Hive.
What this means is that every stakeholder is a participant in the governance of Hive ecosystem and a distributor of that currency through the Hive social media platform.
This is one of the questions I ask myself before delving into a Blockchain and investing in its corresponding cryptocurrency.
Besides financial gains, what else can the token do? This is different from the "use case" we are used to looking to see when a new crypto is on the block, majority of use cases only exist because of the financial gains people want from the project.
For instance Bitcoin as a piece of technology, besides the potential financial gains acquirable from holding Bitcoin, Bitcoin is simply a digital public distributed immutable ledger that facilitates borderless peer to peer money transaction without the need for the bank.
Obviously this is 'useful' enough for me, for you, for absolutely anyone, Bitcoin needs to offer no financial incentives before it can be widely adopted, just like the internet.
Think of Ethereum, you pay Ether to use Ethereum no matter how infinitesimal it(fee) is. That's a use there because of how robust Ethereum blockchain is, probably not as intrinsically as important as Bitcoin because it is more applicable to enterprises but it occupies the number 2 largest crypto in existence according to coin market cap.
This confirms my assertions to a large extent, only that the everyday person may not directly feel the impact of Ethereum and have reasons to hoard it beyond financial returns. But this is subject to change as Ethereum plans to move to a POS mechanism where Stake will determine governance sometime this year.
I might be very wrong though, I mean, what can you do with Dogecoin besides holding it? But Dogecoin is Dogecoin and some people still think to hoard it.
I read a statement from someone in this space, I can't remember exactly who but it went like this "Creating a solution to a problem is more important than creating a problem for a solution". Hive creates a solution for a problem, so does Bitcoin, maybe even Ethereum, perhaps there are others I'm not mentioning, but you get my drift.
Lastly, holding Hive, gives me enough resources to perform unlimited operations within my favorite and most used Dapp in the world, Splinterlands, this will most likely be the format going forward.
Solutions
This is the first thing I look out for before investing in any cryptocurrency. I aim to invest in solutions. Hive is a solution and a progressing one at that.
De-Fi Capabilities
The second thing I look for before investing in any Blockchains crypto ecosystem are its earning mechanism and over all de-financial ecosystem.

If you like interesting and simple, you'd love to roll with Hive, this image is one of the simplest info graphics explaining the financial gamification part of Hive, how wouldn't anyone love to participate in this! If Bitcoin were this easy to operate and navigate in its 4th year, a whole lot more people will be aware/invested in Bitcoin today.
There are also other factors that contribute to my investment decisions but these are the first important two I will like to discuss in this post, in another post, I will talk about other factors like presence and drive of the community, security, longetivity e.t.c.
I wonder what factors contribute to what drives your investment decisions, it will be nice to have your opinion.
Thank you for reading.
**Dear member of HIVE
Supplement 23 June - The witness @pfunk can't help but flag the account. So all spam messages are now automatically sent from a server. Now there is also no possibility not to unify. The text will be reformulated and every new member on HIE will be warned to continue publishing here. Also I offer every user a free account on Stemm including a delegation. Thank you @pfunk that it has come so far
Supplement June 19th - Some whales had asked me to stop with all the messages as they had written to @pfunk to tell him to support me and stop destroying the account. I have stuck to it and stopped. He has now sent more downvotes and from now on the goal is to comment on every post that is published about HIVE. We have about 300 HIVE accounts, which can be used alternately and will create new accounts daily. We will program different scripts, because every hour a post will be published in the upper 100 days. These scripts will be available for every user of HIVE if they want to use them.
I apologize for the automated comments. But we will not get another opportunity to point out our problem.
** For the time being this message will only be published for one hour, if the proceedings against us are stopped and the donations are replaced, we will stop this. Otherwise, this message will be placed below every post that is published about HIVE through hundreds of accounts.**
Are you sure you really want to post here?
For example, we have a small account here that belongs to a social club in Germany. Donations were collected here, and every month a few dollars were collected.
But since ONE person - the witness at HIVE called @Pfunk (a witness is actually someone who is supposed to represent the members) has problems with the founder of the social organisation, he makes sure that all donations are deducted from the small account. Others who also support the account are also punished, and all income is also deducted.
If you publish here, make sure that you only publish what is of benefit to the owners of the assets on HIVE. You must never express your own opinion or criticize someone who is a witness or owner of power.
You will soon find out that you only earn a few cents here. Others, however, sometimes enrich themselves extremely. 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.
Now that the account has basically become useless to us, we have made it our mission to inform all new members about what to expect here in the block chain.
There is no way to fight against the rulers of HIVE. You can only inform others and especially new members.
If you want to see how they take away donations for the association, you can see this here https://beeme.icu/?account=nesomi
If you ever want to find out what this is all about, you can do that:

and
https://peakd.com/deutsch/@nesomi/abuse of power and love-of-the-ship-witnesses radio or abuse of power and love-of-the-ship-witnesses radio
As soon as the devaluations on our account are stopped and the destroyed donations are replaced, these comments will be stopped.
Should this action not work, we will comment less than 1000 newly published articles with this text every day.
Unfortunately we have no other possibility to take action against such behaviour. Should you really stay here, you will soon find that there is no other way to fight injustice than with many messages.
To anyone who has problems with a witness about HIVE, I am happy to give the program, which automatically distributes hundreds or even thousands of comments.
We will delete this comment if you wish. However, this may take a few hours.
Add a comment "Delete comment "
In the last 10 hours, the downswings have been over $100 Think if love, not hate, were to decide for some how much good you could do.

The brain behind hive is still amazing till tomorrow. DPOS is one of the few things that increased my belief in this blockchain.. your investment tips show a lot of experience.. i hope to learn more in your next post ..
Ah please my investment tips are for entertainment o, I'm mostly just high on Hive hehe
lol
Before I invest in something, I try to visualize the possible earning and lose range of the investment. Mostly, as the risk raises up, I decrease the amount of allocated value to minimise the risk that I take. Otherwise, I seek for an operating mechanism to put my money on it like Hive :)
We are speaking the same language my man!
