Depending on how you view it, a decade is quite some time passed. It may not be sufficient time for a revolution to take place, but it certainly is sufficient to get lots of things done. We're more than a decade into the introduction of Blockchain technology yet it feels like yesterday for the most parts. No matter what project you choose to invest in, it does seem like the growth potential has not been explored in its entirety making it such an interesting prospect in the future.

Part of the reason why there is still room for so much growth Is the stages of evolution that the chain is going through. We certainly haven't reached the maturity stage yet for any project, and it always seems like there is so much more in store. A prime example is the number of adopters for many projects. There is always the feeling that we are only touching a fraction of what we could potentially carry and such there is a push to see the space actualize its potential.

Regulations have also not been fully introduced because they recognize how early this is. Any hasty regulation put forward now could potentially backfire and that's why so much time is being put into research to properly understand what the space is all about so they can seize control. By the time comprehensive regulation comes forward, we will still just be a little step closer to becoming a mature space so the potential for growth is still very much present.

The reason Why this is important is because as an early investor there is the opportunity for not just growth, but exponential growth. We could potentially transform our financial fortunes just by latching early on a good project, or have a say in the decision making process by coming in at the right time. Those who come in at the maturity stages do not have nearly as much opportunities for growth, and by then growth would have slowed down drastically.

I wonder how many more years or decades we still have to onboard as early investors though. There is always a limited time to make things happen and we must never get carried away. Some of us who come in early do not necessarily appreciate its value and as such are unable to maximize its benefits. Take Hive for instance that we know the best way to evolve and grow is by holding as much Hive power as possible. We might make the mistake of selling early early, or not holding, which will end up backfiring as the platform becomes more important.

Conclusion

Those who are stacking up a decent amount of Hive power are doing it not out of greed, but expectations for what the future holds. There are some decent accounts that could leave with a small fortune now, but they are more interested in the kind of financial transforming fortune to be made in the future. Hive may even evolve to the point that its business model changes dramatically beyond blogging and curation, but irrespective, those who wield Hive power will be in prime position to benefit from whatever growth opportunity comes along.
