I'm re-purposing several mining rigs to farm transaction fees as a node. What kind of return can I expect? Actively participating in the system by running a node on your CPU or is it all passive or can we just say that the market price will adjust according to actual staking returns in the long run. I.e. if owning 10 link pays you $1,000 per year, the market will value LINK at $2,000 (i.e. a 5% rate of return) or more.

Also it's not just the node return but what about the network effect and the ever expanding size of the network itself? People will hoard these tokens creating an even greater scarcity. Is it just network usage that causes it to appreciate?
