People do ask me why I talk about the price of Hive so much. 

Let me try and give some of my perspective. 

Yes, higher price is great. It is great for people that are making a living from Hive, supplementing their income or even just able to use it to buy a loaf of bread.

But that is not all. Take a look at the graph for the last week. See how the price spikes when large volume comes into Hive but as the volume goes away the price usually retracts. 

What I am getting at is the price is also a good indicator of how Hive (and not just the token) is doing. Sudden price jumps is an indicator to me that something is happening and I need to find out what.  This is what happened for me to learn about the Splinterlands airdrop. I would have never known else.

Hive is going places, there is no doubt about that. 

And I will continue to monitor 😀
