As far as i see till 40000 block it's still hybrid. By 'running staking node' i mean I'm mining on my rig and hosting staking wallet with my mining earnings on my personal PC for 24/day

I've got good feelings too, POW/POS hybrids with mining phase are by far better option than ICO in my opinion since it's more fair. The only thing that takes my concern is how much total supply will be when 40k block will be discovered since POS blocks count towards it.
Oh I see what you mean. I agree with you early mining rewards are like an ICO but you actually get what you paying for as you mine it. So how much have you minedso far ? I'm at 20k
