It seems that $HIVE has been lying low recently in terms of price movement, and it's not exactly mirroring what $BTC is doing at the moment. However, I believe this is just a temporary phase, as Hive has a tendency to experience random price pumps from time to time. Sometimes, these pumps start to feel predictable until they suddenly change direction, as we’ve seen in recent weeks.
Regardless of Hive's price movement, will it influence your level of activity on the platform?

Some say the platform has seasonal users who only post during periods when Hive’s price is performing well, then go on a break during the low-price days. While there’s nothing inherently wrong with that—we are free to use the platform whenever we want—I think there’s a better approach. Personally, I’d recommend being more active when Hive’s price is low, as this is when the most dedicated curators and supporters are actively seeking out creators who continue to show their commitment to the platform.
When many users refrain from posting content because they feel it’s no longer worth their time, the potential Hive rewards you may receive could be higher compared to times when many people are actively posting and competing for a share of the rewards. Since daily Hive rewards are fixed, I imagine that when more people are posting, the rewards are distributed more thinly because there are more users trying to claim a portion. Conversely, when fewer people are posting, a larger share of the rewards goes to the active users.
Of course, this still depends on the attention your post receives from the major curation groups. I've noticed that big curation groups like Curie, Curangel, OCDB, Appreciator, and others remain active regardless of Hive’s price. Their curation activities stay consistent. The only difference I’ve observed is that they tend to give larger percentage upvotes during bear markets, as there are fewer posts to curate, while they give smaller percentage upvotes during bull markets. The lower percentage upvotes in bull markets might be because the dollar value of their votes appears higher, and there are more people posting during these periods. As a result, they try to spread their finite voting power across more deserving users.

Because of this logic, I tend to be more active during periods of low Hive prices than when prices are high. During these times, I focus on reading content, leaving comments, engaging with others, and, most importantly, building connections with dedicated Hive users.
I believe that low Hive prices present an excellent opportunity to accumulate tokens and connect with others who share a strong commitment to the platform. The active users during these periods are often those who deeply believe in Hive's principles and its practical value in their lives.
I see Hive not just as a cryptocurrency but as a platform that will increasingly integrate into both our digital and real-world lives.

In fact, this has already been happening in countries where brick-and-mortar stores and restaurants have embraced the SpendHBD movement, which I believe is a brilliant use case for HBD. I hope this trend will expand beyond just sellers and buyers of goods to include producers, dealers, and other agencies involved in the economic chain. Ultimately, this could make HBD an integral part of their daily lives, extending far beyond their social media presence.
The reason I bring this up is that even when the price of Hive is low, we can still earn $HBD, which will be incredibly useful once the Hive platform is integrated into more countries. I'm looking forward to seeing this happen in my city as well.
I can only imagine how beneficial it would be for content creators posting food reviews to use their HBD earnings to pay for meals at restaurants, get discounts through DIstriator, and then earn even more by posting about the experience. It feels like a perfect way to make dining and creating content even more rewarding.
So, should I wait for things to happen or for the price of Hive to rise before starting this journey on the platform? I think there's no reason to wait—it's better to make a move now!
In conclusion, Hive's potential extends far beyond its price fluctuations, offering a unique ecosystem where dedication and creativity are consistently rewarded. Low-price periods present an opportunity to build stronger connections, accumulate tokens, and tap into the support of active curators who value long-term commitment. Instead of waiting for the perfect market conditions, now is the ideal time to seize the moment and unlock the full potential of what Hive has to offer.

I second that, i haven't been active all days through but realized "low" days are the best to get more attention on your posts.
Exactly. I guess "the low times" is when one can easily make a mark and be recognized by curators.
Keep it up man 👍
I've been on hive for weeks now and I had no idea about this phenomenon. I still post and I hardly use Facebook anymore.
Totally stopped checking on my Facebook a long time ago 😁 because it turned into a marketplace 😂
To many ads, product promotions... hardly any real content to read 😔
Good thing I found Hive. I've been learning more here than anywhere else.
That's very true my friend
😁👍
I think I'm more active when the price is doing pretty shit. Contrary to the account HP I have I've been accumulating the earnings and holding them liquid for a while now, taking advantage of the upward momentum to gain more. Something I never really did before with other pumps and definitely ended up missing out on.
Lower Hive prices are great for HP/Hive building without the upfront investment side of things.
You're not wrong with your strategy thinking about how long we have to endure before the alt season happens. And yeah, arbitrage trading is a strategy that may literally x2 or more your token holdings if done right.
All the best!
The movements lately have been a dream, such strong swings in both directions. I have woken up at perfect times in the night and seen the price peaking, sold, and then bought back once the candle retraced.
Kudos to those who are able to ride the crazy waves lately. Looking at the charts, I was tempted to arbitrage regularly but I chicken out 😂
My strategy is to simply set the highest possible and swap to HBD. And then put that to savings until Hive drops to the lowest possible, then swap the HBD to Hive then power up to HP 😁
Interesting article. Good evening and peace be upon you.
Thanks. It's good that you find it interesting. Have a great day ahead.
You're welcome ❤️🙏
😁👍
When it's low and slow, you gather and grow.
When it's high to the sky, you spread your wings and fly.
We are super early here, HIVE ON!
Dope lines! Well said :)
I agree but I will try to be consistent and do the same activities regardless of Hive price. That way, accumulation and building my HP will continue.
!BBH
This is a better mindset imho. It’s best to be consistent all the time if possible 👍
You are right. I try to be consistent and make posts no matter if we are in bear or bull markets. And this mindset pays of- during last few weeks few of my gaming posts were upvoted by Curangel. Normally I only get Curangel votes for my weekend-engagement content. But like you said I guess fewer people are posting now so I get bigger slice of cake votes.
Exactly.
I've earned the most of my Hive tokens back when the price was around 0.20 and lower. Back then, it felt like bigger whale upvotes were a lot easier to get than now with Hive price above 0.40 LOL
But yeah, stay active no matter which season we are :)
High price or low price, we keep going! 1 Hive = 1 Hive.
I noticed a falling activity this week at Hive, some people seem disappointed already with the dropping price.
This is a good mindset! Once users get this then they will start realizing that Hive is meant for those who are in it for the long haul.
Call to action! Nice time to enter!
Let's go!
This is a thoughtful analysis of how the Hive platform functions, especially in relation to price fluctuations. The idea that posting during low-price periods could lead to higher rewards is logical, as fewer active users mean a larger share of the fixed rewards for those who remain active. It's also interesting to see how major curation groups like Curie and OCDB adjust their upvoting strategies based on market conditions. Their approach shows that, even with limited voting power, they try to spread it across more deserving users. This perspective can be inspiring for creators, encouraging them to stay active even during market downturns, keeping their commitment to the platform intact.
You got it 100%!
I hope that more people will realize it and change the way they see the Hive platform.
So if they want to get the attention of the big curation groups:
By the way, how is your Hive journey so far? @josim100
great read and insight to everyone who uses this platform, unless of course you are just in it as a greedy twat raping the rewards system instead of helping it grow.
"The post when low" suggestion was given to me by my guru when I first joined this place, something I have followed, I do tend to post about 3 times a week be it hi be it lo. Just got into a habit I guess.
I heard about it a long time ago but was doubtful since I was too focused on the monetary value of post rewards. I only came to realize the true potential of "posting during low times" when I became consistent with posting and engaging a year ago.
And now it has become part of my daily habit to post and engage regardless of the price. 😁
