What I mean is that they mainly care about the value amount rather than how much stake they can build before inflation drops and it gets harder to earn it the same way they may earn it now.

It wouldn’t surprise me if some users drift away for that reason, but at the same time, it’s probably part of Hive’s natural cycle. Those who stay usually start to understand that building HP early, while inflation is still higher and rewards are more accessible, is an opportunity that won’t exist forever. In that sense, these moments don’t just test the system they test conviction.
