I was thinking the other day wouldn't it be great if we somehow could inform the investors who received their air drop to stake their claims and open an account. I am thinking especially the users on Binance who couldn't sell their airdrop as it has been released but not for selling yet as far as I know.

Just think if they knew they could get compounded interest on their airdrop then possibly they would consider this as a viable option. Hive has dropped down to the mid 40 c range currently from being at $1 two days ago. Whilst waiting for it to go up again why not make the airdrop work in your favor.
If someone has 20 000 Hive it generates around 1.5 Hive per day in interest alone. Multiply that by 30 days and that is 45 Hive which is about $20 per month. Over a year this would grow as it compounds generating nearly 550 Hive per year from doing nothing.
If they are prepared to stake then they could also use Hive auto to vote on certain users by following a trail generating another 50 odd Hive per week. When you start adding up the numbers If I knew about it and wasn't already on here I would definitely join. This would generate in excess of 3000 Hive per year which is a 15% return from doing very little, but a little admin work every now and then. Who doesn't like staking watching your account grow.
Hive is one of the only coins available where this kind of thing is possible generating a passive income or growing your investment without having to trade. Obviously the more you have the more you get back and just letting it build for a rainy day or for when Hive is worth considerably more.
The air drop was for anyone holding Steem so if they were prepared to purchase it to gain something for free they have lost nothing. Everything they make on Hive would be total profit adding to what they already received.I think it is a win win if we could somehow make it happen. I am just trying to think out the box and other ways of attracting new users. Not everyone has to write a post as there are other ways of earning which can be just as lucrative.
My curation accounts for at least 30 percent of what I earn every week and that is with two posts every day. I am not a big earner on posts so someone who has decent payouts will be somewhat less as a percentage but just used myself as an example.Curation done correctly can be more lucrative than you think but whoever staked and joined doesn't have to think, but just join a trail.
My thinking is if investors went for an airdrop then they would be also open to receiving a passive income for however long they staked. They have nothing to lose and everything to gain. The more that is staked the better it is for everyone invested as there is less on the exchanges.
