It's interesting to watch the Hive buzz with activity as the price and payout has multiplied in recent weeks. Accounts that have been mostly dormant for months or even years are suddenly coming alive. People like myself who post regularly are suddenly trying to come up with more interesting material.

So how much is your time worth? A post that pays you twenty dollars today, a few months ago paid you less than five dollars. How do you even approach this question when talking about getting paid in a currency that has the potential to go up and down like a yo-yo?

For me, time is worth somewhere in the middle income western world range. So that has always been what I shot for when thinking earnings/ per hour when making blog posts. There have been long periods of time where I've earned far less than that, and there have been periods of time where I've earned more. One thing has stayed constant is my huge appreciation for supporters of my blog.

Part of what had kept me going during the 10 cent days is that I enjoy doing my blog; and I curtailed my blogging style so it was more worth my time. I'd probably always keep my blog going in one way or another even if there were zero rewards. I've met a lot of amazing people here. Life changing relationships. So I fully understand that it's not all about dollars and cents. But I can't spend all day making blog post for a dollar an hour and I'm sure you can not either.

For me I don't mind writing articles but it's the most time consuming part of my blog. Currently I do a game and photo post which people seem to really enjoy. It's not very time consuming and it's been fun to do. With the price of Hive up I'm feeling much better about spending two or three hours writing and editing a blog post and it seems like a lot of other people feel the same way.

I believe strongly that the content around here is about to increase significantly in quality as the price and the platform grow. It's gonna be a big win for Hive, and we'll see the price and popularity rise to new levels.

What about you? What do you think? And How much is your time worth?
