If you enter into #hive world in February 2022, you would have acquired Hive for around 86 cents. Contemplating Hive price today you definitely will be losing close to 40% after a year. Trying to understand the financial system these days, as long you are making it happen, you can stand still and find common ground. I can take many more examples as how shaky the market is. It will not help much knowing there are a lot into account to understand a token price. One cool aspect you can forget, earning Hive has so much in play than just the value of each Hive.

When you focus on governance you tend to value the accumulation point in Hive power and how you will curate daily. You get to share in the future what the blockchain will deliver. If everyone understand this part of Hive, many more will power up. At the same time each of us has different goals. Some take care of their earnings for different purpose. Some are buying layer-2 token like Leo. Some decide to give #DEX a try by going to #CUB finance. 

Some even go to a length by playing games like #Splinterlands and #dcity. This is a few I can name, the list is long. I wish the implementation makes more noise.
Hive we all know by 2020, is a different beast. I recalled I post a while back, *Will Hive ever get to 13 cents?*. Exactly it is hard to even think straight by asking this question. Considering risk anything is possible.

Considering improvement and update, Hive blockchain is reinventing itself. Lately I admire the work ethic of #Leofinance team. I have to say it is well received. We are turning a page as to how #threads is making an entrance. Daily we can count around 2k #threads. We have to build a habit on this one, including me. 
I know it is a beginning where we can build a huge follow up. This year is a stepping stone. Give it a year or two, the landscape will change.

I just learn the other day I can use the new #UI via keychain browser. It is fast and neat. It is even faster than the regular Leofinance site. It is still in #alpha.
Leo token is stuck in 5 cents. Give or take I said that it is a blessing for everyone to come later and still participate. 

If there is one thing this community is good at, we keep volatility to a minimum. Supply and demand will make its road but slowly will you witness a huge drop. Again giving risk its prop, anything is possible. So far I have not seen it. I guess the reason is simple. Everyone is building. Everyone is doing the right move. Despite all the serious noise out there, you do a calculated move will always pays dividend.

Do not be surprised if crypto looks like 2019. I will be more surprised if BTC jumps back to $50k and I am not ready to assume my position. There are more upwards for crypto than backwards. It is more obvious the test is looking to shake and see what will stand.
I do not know about you, I am optimistic for what to come. I think #Hive has a lot to benefit since we have a hardcore of users that are well educated and they are ready for everything. No wonder why #leofiance is thriving as we see it.
Hope you do your count right. Build slowly but surely.
Keep on vesting.
