I have to point out that I have empathy for those who are struggling with the low price of Hive.
However, this is not your Story - it is mine.
It is my POV that is galvanised in my Life's journey of having to deal with Toxic banality of Hoomans.
Today I powered up my HIVE account.
As I think alot of Hivers saw the powering down of HBD as a good strategy. Maybe too many of us powered down with added pressure to the Hive supply? I don't know. I cannot be bothered analysing the finer details and would rather just go with my gut instincts.
I also had purchased some Hive as the Price fell.
Today, I powered it up into my account.
I became a Dolphin. (make dolphin noises)
I have experienced this euphoria whenever I have worked at a business where the natives are restless. The company may be a bit wobbly and facing tough times. During that period alot of toxic people tend to leave the ship that they feel is sinking.
That is my hope there. I was tired of naysayers, scammers asking for funds to fuel their alleged poverty, extractors - these types just make my journey more difficult than it needs to be.
I'm not saying they are bad actors. I just felt I had to put blinkers on to try and focus on what I like about Hive.
Hive has always been good to me.
Hive has given me profits from time to time.
Hive has given me Community.
Hive has given me Splinterlands (Steem Monsters but Hive was where I got into it)
Hive has potential with different projects, payments systems and Developers who care.
And I also don't rely on Hive. I am not going to blame Hive if I have wet my own Pyjamas.
That is the other little bit about how see "investing".
I put my money where my mouth is. I am a conservative person and don't go overboard on anything really.
I get enjoyment from simple things and enjoy my own company (simple thing).
Anyway, rejoice and enjoy the show.
Over the years I have seen people come and go. Some claim to be for hive and are quite vocal about it only to disappear once the price drops too low.
But there are those that have been here for a long time, they don’t always make noise but they post, build, engage and remain loyal.
The price only matters if you’re looking to sell. Personally I don’t know how Hive is not valued higher than it is.
The community here are a nothing short of amazing, with brilliant minds from all around the world contributing to the community.
I enjoyed your post. Have a great day!
So true that price only matters when u crystallise it.
Seeing some disruption really provides an opportunity for people to review their position.
On a side note, I watched @bronzedragon vid covering @dungeon.cities & will at least see if that fits in with my @terracore time
Have u tried it?
Not yet I have been too busy . I will have a look when I get a chance
If there is a sinking ship, you want me on it, because I row all the harder. I don't listen to the naysayers...anywhere. This is my hangout, and it's really important to many people.
I have a sense of community. As you say, I don't depend on Hive...for money. I do depend on it, though. I've 'met' a lot of interesting people here. I miss some who are gone. I don't intend to be one of them.
I get to write really long, involved blogs. Sometimes people read them, and respond to them. That's a kick.
I get to play around with collages. And I get to support, through community curation, bloggers from all over the world. Where else can I spread a bit of sunshine ?
Thanks for the strong, positive spirit. It is welcome at this moment.
See you around the bend :)
Well said! There's more to the Hive Ecosystem & times like these allow the other parts to shine brighter.
Time to give back to Hive HP
Yes, and to enjoy Hive!
That is some sweet spin! Kudos.
Thanks. The Ego get a bit peeved seeing the value drop. But I didnt plan on selling anything so Ego just rolls its eyes.
Feeling refreshed means I have read more Hive posts than normal.
