Hello, everyone! 😎📷
My second collage, in LMAC222 series. Let's Make a Collage - A Contest for All Creatives on Hive - Round 222 - ✨100 HIVE in the Prize Pool!
Today, in this collage, I'm focusing on the crypto market, particularly our Hive bubble, in which we swim. If you think that your efforts, mine, and indeed all of us here, cause the sudden increase in the value of the coin and the whole network, you are wrong.
This is due to external influences on centralized and decentralized exchanges, DeFi, Swap protocols, and manipulation and speculation in financial processes.
But have you heard of the Greed Index? You can read the details at the link, but the fact is that last week, we were in Extreme Greed territory (>76), which means that in the crypto market, it's time for corrections, which are usually on the downside.
Is Hive still a safe haven in these turbulent markets? Time will tell.

The creation process
I created the collage using Photoshop.
I first created a background from the base image. First, I used mirroring to extend the clouds to the whole picture; then, I turned the green part into a bubble with the Fish Eye effect (Lunapic).
Finally, I processed the other objects and added them to the image in layers.
Hope you have fun!

Reminds me of Puck, satirical publication from Robber Baron era in the U.S.A (approx 1890s--when Carnegie, Rockefeller and Vanderbilt made their millions). Two illustrations from that era:

Both in the public domain from Wikimedia Commons
I think yours is brilliant and probably would have been placed on the front of that publication, if such a thing as crypto/Hive existed.
Is Hive a safe haven??? I never thought of it that way. Just thought of it as a long term hedge, more a hope than a certainty.
Thank you for your comment. You found it well. I don't know it, but you are right, I thought something similar.
Anyway, all the works, well most of them, as far as I know, were in the public domain until 1929.
