HIVE Drops Below $0.25, Time to Panic?

avatar

Hive has been taking quite a beating in the market lately. You can see a pretty dramatic downfall from $0.35 to $0.26. We recently had a nice little pump back all the way to $0.35 and then gave it all back within 48 hours.

It's no secret that HIVE tends to do its own thing in the market. It's a super wild card. One day, Bitcoin can be down 5% and HIVE can be up 30% or vice versa. There really seems to be no rhyme or reason.

HIVE is a relatively liquid market to the size of its market cap but to other cryptos, HIVE is a pretty illiquid token. Much of the HIVE out there is powered up which means that any level of buying pressure or selling pressure can knock out sell or buy walls like the flip of a switch.

HIVE Drops Below $0.25, Time to Panic?

As humans, we are wired to overreact to everything. If there is a threat to our safety - or in the modern world, a threat to our finances - we tend to overreact and overcorrect for things.

When the price of HIVE or any crypto drops, people tend to panic. The mind races to the worst case scenarios and tries to justify any and all actions that are deemed necessary to survive.

For some, this means dumping on the downtrends. For some, it means buying more to dollar cost average. For many, it means questioning your resolve and belief in what you're investing in.

Does price really matter? The technology, community and applications built on Hive have done nothing but get better and better.

The Technology

The technology of Hive is unmatched in the crypto space. Tell me, where else do you see a blockchain capable of pseudonymous account creation, free TXs, near-instant block times and ease of use?

A recent Hard Fork on Hive added even more features and set us up nicely for a great future. A future - in my opinion - where HIVE becomes more desirable for applications to hold for Resource Credits.

I saw a tweet last week that asked why would anyone buy HIVE?

This is a great question to ask about any investment. It's what will either strengthen your resolve or make you go back to the drawing board.

My response to that tweet: nobody will buy HIVE.

Applications will buy HIVE. Apps like LeoFinance, 3Speak, Splinterlands, etc. will buy HIVE. In fact, all 3 of those applications are already buying HIVE.

I've always been a big believer in the second-layer and users not really using HIVE but using Hive as their backend.

Instead of learning how this chain works and trying to navigate the base layer, they'll use the dApps that have specific and easy use cases.

They'll play Splinterlands.
They'll watch 3speak.
They'll microblog on LeoFinance.

Then those 3 apps will hold all the HIVE needed so that their users can transact via Resource Credit pools. The technology is in place to make this happen, now it's up to the apps to grow themselves and find their userbases.

The Community

The community on Hive has been around longer than 99.99% of other crypto communities. The only communities that may rival it in terms of age are Bitcoin and Ethereum. Hive is one of the OG chains and its survived more than any other blockchain out there. It's been threatened. It's been attacked. It's been through a hostile takeover. It's been through several bear/bull cycles.

Through all of this, the core community has never left. In fact, the core community continues to build all the amazing tech and content you see on this chain today.

The Applications

As I said before, I think the applications on Hive are where things get really interesting. The average user could care less about how the Hive Blockchain works or the tokenomics of the HIVE token.

What they care about is using apps that benefit them and their walk of life. If they're a gamer, they want to Play-to-Earn on an amazing game that is both fun and rewarding like Splinterlands.

If they're a YouTuber or someone who likes to watch long-form videos, then they want to use an app that is both entertaining and rewarding like 3Speak.

If they're a finance fanatic and want to read, engage and create financial content, then they'll microblog and/or blog on LeoFinance.

The future of the HIVE token is in a mass exodus. An exodus of HIVE POWER from the hands of the individual and into the hands of the application.

Are You Worried?

I think a lot of us get worried when we see prices drop. It questions our resolve. It questions our desire to keep doing what we're doing.

But we've seen this movie replay itself time and time again: those who keep building, keep stacking, keep creating and keep engaging are the ones who cash in on the bull market.

So which will you be? Sell the bottom and run for the hills or strengthen your resolve and stack until the next top?

Incredible and perfect analysis, a text that I recommend everyone to read and calm down.

I will continue building my castle, even in difficulties, because I really believe that hive is the future and that it can still be applied in several areas.

Thank you! I perceived not only Hive's technological elegance (being the tech geek that I am), but also its overwhelming potential pretty much as soon as I arrived here just over a year ago. The longer I'm here, the deeper I go, and the more I learn, the more passionate, committed, dedicated, determined, focused, tenacious, and all in I become! I want to thank you for all of the amazing work that you and your team have done here on Hive! I'm truly very grateful to be here! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Just keep your head down and keep stacking. Hive, Leo, Cub, etc. It's a lot easier to build meaningful stakes when the prices are low so NOW is the time to get more active, not less.

It's not time to panic. Because other cryptos are been affected by the bear market. Being a Web 3 based block chain, the Hive price must surely pup up

This dino already ran to the hills, 4+ years ago ( and likes to call himself 'King of the Hill' ), so he chooses to stack until the next top.

Bears don't frighten me any longer. In fact, I befriend them.

panic? I've been building my stash of HBD on my alt account for more than 2 years now precisely for this moment so I couldn't be more excited :) However my buy point is 20 cents for anybody curious, so I still have a few months of waiting probably.

Hive will make a great leap forward when tokenized social media finally becomes the flavor of the month, possibly in 2023, so we are ahead of the curve historically. Less than 500k users globally use Hive so we are such a minority. The upside potential is minimum 10x from here before we even see new ATH. Accumulation and DCA all the way.

hive just needs to build and keep the OG status. It needs to make sure something else doesn't come along and claim the masses. Hive will never get big institutional investment but it has great utility and liquidity. It is a proper decentralised peoples coin and one of the best blockchains out there. Just needs to be nurtured very tenderly and get more developers to build things on it. The market is in the toilet thats all it is, and its going to be properly rough for a couple of years. I stuck to my guns all through 2022 about it getting savage apart from once i second guessed myself. The prices of cryptos are going to the ground, proper ground and precious metals rocket. Silver is the next Bitcoin.

I don't feel panic whenever I see the price of Hive is dropping. It's because I think it's a opportunity to increase my portfolio. And i have the believe that it will rise up. It's just a matter of time.

I will using 33/33/33 rule:

33 in personal leo stake with lowest apy but freedom to vote.
33 in leo stake delegated with highest apy
33 in liquidity pool of leo/hive.
1 in fees.

I know the blog is about hive but it's a good time to diverse in leo too. I am too late in alot of stuff already and FOMO of hive is real. I wasted enough time not increasing my leo stake (with focused mindset).

Panicking due to fall in price of hive is a wasted venture. Instead of panicking, but more , invest more because and when the market turns your smile would be high.

Just look at all the replies to these sorts of posts.

This shows that the community is going nowhere.

Again haha...

Anyway, having a decentralised, censorship-resistant base layer is all that matters in blockchain tech.

Not many chains sitting above HIVE in market cap can tick this box.

But HIVE does.

Now, what people need in order to be able to transact on this base layer?

Yep, HIVE tokens.

HIVE will be fine.

Keep stacking!

I think Hive is one of the best investments and you can get involved with little to no capital. By blogging you can share your thoughts, ideas, and experiences with others. It can be a way to connect with like-minded individuals and to build a community around your content which generates income. The only resource needed is that time.

Interesting take about applications buying Hive for HP sake. I vaguely get it that running these apps requires HP.

Curious how exactly this would play out. E.g, could there be workarounds such that some of these HP hungry functions can be diverted somewhere else, while not compromising the Hive experience?

Would investing in specific layer 2 tokens that these applications use be a more lucrative bet?

In any case, indeed interesting to think about how the Hive developers are positioning themselves in this bear market. They are like the VCs within the Hive ecosystem. !PIZZA

Hive is the best project in the crypto world. If Hive fails, every other project will. So... I'll keep putting my chips on Hive, and I've being defending it with passion since I starded on Splinterlands and recognized all of it's potential!

Great post, have a nice day!

Sadly Hive is now one of the cryptos that got hit heavy for the bear market. For the last few months it's been dropping 10 cents which is kind of crazy and shows a increasing sell pressure.

It's not the greatest look but lets be honest we have been here before not all that long ago. Bull market whenever that is will turn all of these assets around along with development and applications.

If I had enough HBD I would buy Hive at its lowest levels. We have been at a much lower price and there was an extreme rally that later took us above the dollar.

I don't see anything to worry about, what we do have to use intelligence to our advantage this time around. It would be good to read some strategies.

currently I'm not worried about this depreciation of the value of the token. I'm studying the market and I'm trying to understand what could be a moment in which I can make the best purchase. In any case, buying something at these prices here is certainly not a gamble, in fact probably it's a good chance

price drop is not bad for me, as i will get more HIVE for converting HBD.

Price drop has always created panic, all the stats point to that.
Also it affects people who depend on the price to sell.

Staking is the best option, during this time.

On the whole, I try to not worry too much about the price of Hive, EXCEPT if it were to get "dramatically low" to the point where a substantial number of witnesses throw in the towel and shut down their servers because they can't/aren't willing to run at a prolonged financial deficit. I don't know where that point IS, but at such a time I'd be starting to ponder whether it was time to "cut bait" and head elsewhere.

Hive is an interesting enigma in the sense that it has so much promise, and it is consistently top ranked in terms of activity... offset against the fact that Hive seems virtually invisible to the majority of the Cryptosphere, and the rest of the world.

Even after all these years, that's a tough conundrum to reconcile...

I believe in hive, it's one of the Blockchain that survived when almost 2 major crash happened. It's a usual for the dip, hive got positive correlation with other asset and there is a possibility that if those assets shoots up with time, hive will follow suit

Greetings
Thanks for this post, it creates a little more relief.

What you mention about how more and more applications are being created in Hive is very true, i guess it is comparable to say that as there is a "tangible" good it is very difficult to let a network like this drift, which is given so much value. Something i see in relation to projects like bitcoin, ethereum or even doge itself that create infrastructures that can not be ignored.
