you can understand why some people can have a suspicious look when a top witness is talking about selling 50-100k of hive at 0.60$ :D
No, I don't understand. I run a node and making my HIVE liquid and potentially selling some has nothing to do with how I run the node or my "duties" as witness. Would you consider that people getting paid from the DHF are not supposed to sell? They even get it in liquid.
Also, I don't think 60c is a bad target. Around 1$ would be optimal to take some profits, 70-80 is also fine. Everything above 1$ would be exceptional. Considering we've been at 10-20 cents for MONTHS.
could be taken as lack of belief in development and growth.
Well, I don't just want to believe - and then cry later because I didn't trust my judgement; I want to know. And right now, I know that I need to diversify. Things aren't bad nor are they super - they're okay IMO, but after all, you can't eat, drink, wear, live in or support your family with vested HIVE... 🙂
and everyone should do with their stake what ever they want to do, they earned, bought or who ever they got it so it would be stupid for me or anyone else to tell them not to sell or not to stake...
I agree. Personally, I'm just sharing viewpoints.
that is probably the problem how witnesses were presented for years on the platform. we should probably look at them as a mining rigs. but then there is a problem with DPOS because if you judge the witness only on node performance it would be hard to really decide who will get your vote.
