Not to claim smartness by any means lol... but I've not only observed this happen before, it also makes sense because when you have a certain amount of earnings divided by a lower price of Hive (earnings / price), you could see that dividing by a lower denominator yields a larger value. This explanation is super simplified and doesn't involve an entire formula, but that's the reasoning for why APR ends up higher.

Welp....A lot smarter than me LOL Cause I would have never figured that out!!

If the logic makes sense to you, then you ARE smart enough. Believe it! 😊
