I noticed that a few posts seemed to be getting huge upvotes from the usual suspects and wondered wtf was going on?
It appears that the voting bots are back?.
I'm cross posting to both chains and powering down my steem.
My view is that steemit is now just another website where we can pick up some google juice for ranking purposes.
Who knows what Justin may do? He has the money to manipulate the steem price up or down.
My view is that he is forcing the steem price down so that he can pick it up for peanuts?
The hive price is interesting to watch too.
I am not sure people are buying the big votes, but the bug accounts can give them away whilst reaping the curation rewards. I did check some actual bots, but they are not that active for now. I and others will pounce on anyone who just buys votes.
I will mainly just take curation from my auto-votes on Steem until I have powered down. I cannot be bothered to post there any more. It will indeed be interesting to see how the prices go. People may be powering down on both, but I would hope those looking to go with Hive will be selling Steem to buy HIVE. That could be millions of Steem.
Fun times.
I saw that too.
I'd started a power down on steem a week or so before the hive fork and when I checked into my new hive wallet it was also powering down as that was what the snapshot took of the steem blockchain.
I cancelled the hive power down which also cancelled the steem power down! To early I guess?
Now it's settled down a bit. I stopped the hive power down and restarted the steem power down.
I assume that there are many accounts that maybe haven't realised that this happened?
I think there was some issue that caused that initially. Some will want to cash out the airdrop anyway if they are not bothered about the community. I hope to boost my HP considerably in the next few weeks.
I've been watching the markets and should have sold off the liquid hive last week like a lot of people did.
I could have bought it back now and doubled my hive but day trading is so dull! 😂👍
I'm just a hodler I guess 😂👍
I didn't get the best rate on what I sold for Steem on Friday. Would get a better rate now. I may wait a bit this week. I would hope to get to at least 40k HP. Not going to worry if I don't optimise my trades.
