Are you going to be that person that says "Oh how I wish I would have bought that 10 cent Hive!"? Don't be that person.
It doesn't feel good to look at a dumped on price. It doesn't feel good to see the value of your Hive decreasing either, but these low points are also an opportunity to make Hive healthier and more decentralized. It's hard to convey the importance of everyone buying a bit without sounding like a shill, but the more people start to rise in the ranks, the better off this whole ecosystem works.
If you're an artist, don't just post your art, support the other artists. If you're a writer looking for people to appreciate your work through votes, return the favor by voting on their work with a vote that moves the needle. When thousands and thousands of people have a .01 - .10 cent upvote, you won't have to hope that a whale or curation group notices you. The crowd will have power.
The more variety that we have of people consuming content, the better the chances of Hive having an even better distribution.
It's easy to imagine us getting dumped on even more. Binance, Huobi, and Poloniex users funds are still powered up and of course there will be some people that dump those tokens. But no matter what happens. 10 cents is cheap. $50 to be a Minnow, $500 to be a Dolphin, $5000 to be an Orca. etc. When I started Steem it was over 15k to be a dolphin. This is crypto, it can all go crazy in a matter of weeks when no one is expecting it. We still have the halvening coming up as well. What's harder to imagine is the other side of that. $3 Hive, $5 Hive, $10 Hive. If you're here now, and Hive goes down to .02 and you bought now, that would suck. But if you're here now, reading this, and don't have much of a stake, then Hive rises to $3, which one of those would suck more. For me it's the latter.
So at the end of all that, I'm just an artist, this isn't financial advice. Use common sense, don't be an idiot with your money.(Selling your house for Hive or something), but I believe in being prepared for the worst case scenario AND the best case scenario. That's all. See you all in the next post.
