That escalated quickly: new Hive ATH & finally kicking Steem butts!

in LeoFinance3 years ago (edited)

Hi there my Hivean friends and followers!

What a crazy week that has been! Last weekend, I had to skip my regular Sunday photography series because we were celebrating Hive´s first birthday and today, I actually have to miss out on my Golden Hour post again because there is another huuuge thing to celebrate and talk about!

I am sure most of you know by now but if you take some off(line) time during the weekend, let me inform you that Hive pulled off an incredible run last night, smashing through the $1 milestone for the first time ever, creating a new ATH as you can see in the following screenshot taken from CoinGecko:

But the great news don´t stop just here. This epic rally of Hive has also caused the long awaited Steem flipening as we are finally kicking their butts in the market cap ranking ;) Let me show you in another screenshot from CoinGecko:

I must say I was so much looking forward to this very moment. I never got it how come that this crappy coin running on a spammy centralized censored chain was beating us in both market cap and price for so long but I hope these times are definitely over now :) Yep, eat the dust, Justin!

By the way, if you want to see some funny memes on this topic, go check out this special flipening meme-a-thon by @ladybug146, she got very creative there as always :D

Also, we already know from the past that these massive spikes in price are usually followed by massive spikes in the overall activity on the chain so you can definitely expect a lot more posts in your feed than before, even though they will actually earn much less Hive than during the quiet times because now, there will be a lot more hands trying to grab something from the reward pool. So instead, I think I will rather be looking to step up my curation game as I have been constantly working on increasing my Hive Power and there will be tons of great stuff to curate.

Anyway, no matter what your plans are, I think we all are in for some truly exciting times now but as I said last week - all of this might actually still well be just a beginning because the potential of our blockchain and our community may still be much bigger than this...

Hold your hats guys, this will be an epic ride! :)

Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone and have a great start to the new week tomorrow.

I was so excited last night, especially when it came out of nowhere! Well, I post in good times and bad, so it won't change, but, I totally got more spammers on my post.

Ready for another week of fun!

I know, you are one of the most dedicated and loyal Hivers I know ;) Hard to say where our blockchain and community would be without people like you and me who have been active here daily, regardless of the price, for years :) Yeah, we can probably expect more spammers and more "seasonal" posters now but that shouldn´t be anything we wouldn´t handle ;)

Wishing you another week of fun!

And Yay! :))

Love to see that it finally goes up! Soon I will be in Portugal and finally start posting again. Been a rough 9 month now! 😏

Awesome, looking forward to your Portuguese posts! :) I bet you have been missing the surf, among other things, I mean :)

Thanks for the mention!

It's a celebration alright this morning! Hopefully this is a trend and it keeps going, would be nice to see it solid at a dollar or more in the next few days and stay there (or keep going up). Price spikes generally means more activity coming, lets hope. That should help drive the price up even more.

You are welcome, I am a huge fan of your memes :) Well, some kind of correction is almost sure to follow but hey, we were at just 0.10 not too long ago so even if 0.50 was to be the new bottom, that would be still amazing (but I am hoping for 0.80 :D) I already noticed more activity in my feed, it´s much busier than it was a few months ago. Hopefully this is a trend indeed. I mean let´s make it a trend! :D

Same here, I know it will correct, it jumped way too quick but yea, we are way better off than the 10-15 cents we were. I noticed the same, some that haven't blogged in a while, noticing new faces too. I like to keep track of daily active users # and posts from time to time too, there has been an uptick, not big but if it keeps slow and steady it's more organic that way anyway. #uptrendactivity

Yeah, organic is always better than anything too fast :) But it´s funny how people always tend to start posting like crazy when the price is high even though they actually earn much less Hive :D That was something I really enjoyed about those low quiet times, there was just very little competition. These days, some communities are getting dozens of posts every day. Hard times to shine :D

I know eh! The psychology behind it is kinda weird. Of course I want a busier platform like anyone else but like you said, you earn a lot more tokens in quiet times even tho it's less in $ value. Maybe it has to do with shortsightedness? Those who chose to walk away because of low token value and activity will be kicking themselves later.

I remember the last bull run, everyone was whining that older users had an unfair advantage when tokens were low valued and the same ones were the first ones to leave after the high forfeiting their own "unfair advantage"...Self sabotage much? I'm glad I stayed and had a chance to accumulate. The curation returns alone are starting to get nice.

Exactly! (to all that you said :D)

Hi @phortun, I got super excited yesterday when I saw HIVE leapfrog STEEM on the coinmarketcap rankings. Things seem to have settled down today a bit, but it is a barrier that has now been broken. The correction today is likely short term profit taking, but I do believe that the mid to long term sentiment will be very positive for HIVE and all of us that are invested in this community.

Hey, thanks for your feedback! I pretty much agree with everyting you said here :) Looks like we are now stabilizing around $0.75, which would still be a great new bottom :) We will see what´s gonna happen in the days and weeks to follow.

I'm really excited :) Some people recommended me to post on both Steem & Hive. But I said no, I'm a Hive's citizen and I have no time for Steem. I'm so glad to see its price going up !!!! ❤️

Niceee, I am proud and happy about your choice, that´s the attitude of a real Hiver! :) I know you didn´t experience the old Steem times yourself but I guess you already figured what and why happened... So glad that the vast majority of the good people and things moved over here.

Yeah I didn't experience it but I heard of some dramas and I'm not really into it :)

Your post is reblogged and upvoted by me. It is a good post. Thank you @phortun

Get ready to downvote a lot of plagiarism and spam as a result, folks! We gotta keep the chain as clean as possible so these rewards go to real content creators!

Good point for sure but I believe that most of these types of behaviour stayed on the old chain :) At least it looked like that when I looked over there last time...

I think when they see the flippening, they'll suddenly remember that #hiveisalive, and pop over for some troublemaking. Never underestimate opportunistic jerks.

Yeah, that´s possible. But I think we are ready to protect what we build here from any troublemaking invaders :)
