Hive to Vests ratio just hit a 0.0006 value.
What this means is that for minnow now you need 600 HP, for dolphin 6k, 60k for orca and 600k for a whale!
The historic chart looks like this.
Notice the fast expansion back in 2016. At the end of 2016 this ratio was set close to 0.0005 and expanded since then with the inflation.
The increase in the Hive to Vests ratio is basicly the reward for staking Hive.
When you stake hive, in the background you convert it to another token, vests, that is not tradable and linked to the account staking it. As time progresses the value of the vests grows and when you unstake you get more hive. Similar to how some of the other staked tokens work now, like stETH, jitoSOL etc. Just this sistem was introduced back in 2016 :) ... and with the big difference that it is not liquid like stETH and jitoSOL...
