Don't kill the golden goose. Your staked Hive is the goose. Sell the eggs that the goose lays but if you sell the stake you might never get it back.
THIS.
If HIVE is still at $2+ in 2022, my stake could, relatively easily and safely, yield $300–400 a month in eggs. And that’s not even counting potential earnings from H-E, Splinterlands, or other sources.
Hive Power is the gift that keeps on giving.
