Today as our friends at @coingecko updated the data on their website, Hive has visibly overtaken Steem in market cap. Ofcourse it had done it already many days ago but it wasn't publicly available for everyone to see. You'd have to crunch the numbers based off exchange values but now I can share this fact with my friends as I try to get some of them back to using Hive.
It's very optimistic indeed to see Hive hold a decent price right off the bat. It would be amazing to accomplish a lot of things here which we dreamt with Steem back in the day. I've been mostly viewing the content here and dApps like PeadD and Hive.blog have made it so easy to create and curate content as well as manage our accounts.
At the time of writing this post we're around 20 cents/Hive and 14cents per Steem and it's pretty cool as many users continue to power down their Steem and sell it for Hive tokens. I would love to see Hive listed on the top exchanges with a USDT or similar stabecoin pairing as well to further encourage traders to speculate on the price of the token.
I've enjoyed the crypto space very much over these years and so many things about Hive makes me optimistic about the way forward.
In the meantime, let's continue supporting the dApps here and I encourage all my friends here using Hive + Steem combo or just Steem to give priority to Hive and consider using this platform to create and share their content as well as bring some amazing people over who can further strengthen our community.
In meantime, let's hope we can see Hive in top 50 soon enough.
