Some months ago, I used to research my medical conditions online and find subreddits on the Internet to learn more about how to manage them, the best medications to treat complications, and possibly other things.
However, I knew that in my search for information, I would see and hear scary things, and I did.
I saw a lot of scary things, including people losing their lives.
Although I was not looking for scary information, I was looking for testimonies from people who had fought battles and won, rather than those who had died in the process.
Like it or not. We thrive on motivation.
Motivation Births Actions
.....and even in the midst of negativity, there is always that piece of information that gives you a boost.
Most of the time, we want to be motivated before we can act; we need that extra push to get our momentum going; we want someone, somewhere, to lead the charge, and then we can follow.
On Hive
........many people want to hear the good news before they can be bullish; they want to know if there will be a bull run so they can be motivated to keep their Hive stash; and they want the coin to constantly pump, bull run or not.
However, as with any good project, it is dependent on someone, or people, to get it to the level that most people want. Being an early adopter brings both benefits and challenges.
For example, it is easier to say "oh I wish I bought eth at 2$", whereas it would have been much more difficult to be an early adopter at such a stage when eth barely had any traction.
Without Work, We'd Dead
Unfortunately, Hive is still at the stage where it needs a lot of things to work, and a lot of people are putting in the work to make it thrive, and all you have to do is to just wait and constantly grind.
Hive has developed a positive aura over the last few days. In the past, you would get 7/10 FUD posts about the price and how we are not matching whatever BTC is doing, but that is changed now, most likely due to the external impact that is been happening with the price recently.
Possible CEX listing?
I read a post today about someone texting the Bitpanda exchange team about listing Hive, and they said they received a response and had a scheduled meeting with a team member to discuss the subject of listing.
Apparently, some people from Hive have tried to get Bitpanda to list Hive in the past, but it has not worked, but imagine if this person pulls it off and we get that listing. It would be another opportunity to put Hive/USDT pairing out there and give it some extra exposure.
Future Trading Options For Hive
The most recent news is that Bitget and Binance have listed Hive for perpetual future trading. While this has no bearing on the price, development, or growth of Hive, exposure is something that should not be underestimated in crypto. Some people are skeptical about this.
Apparently, we have a very small market capitalization, which can lead to significant volatility and price manipulation. We already have these types of manipulations going on in upbit, as evidenced by the price volatility caused by pump and dumps.
However, in defense of this, we typically see these Korean P & D during a bull run or just as the bull run approaches. I believe that heading into the bull run year, Hive requires all of the exposure it can get, and I am curious to see how these future trading will perpetually create the volatility that we all fear may occur. Does this mean Hive is massively dumping even during a bull run?
I doubt.
I believe that for years, people have hoped for whatever exposure we could get on CEXs, and I believe we are now getting it, but we are scared because of our small size.
I think it is like a proverbial boy leaving his village; the uncertainties that come with leaving that comfort zone may be a little out of control, but we will undoubtedly face some uncertainties while attempting to scale.
Do not give up on Hive just yet.
I am not saying we should be overly optimistic and get in over our heads. I just believe that the pessimism in the space can become a little too much at times, allowing for excessiveFUD.
I have been doing a lot of research lately, and many people are reacting to the price prediction FUD in a variety of ways that I can not really mention. I believe a lot is working well for us as we enter the bull run year, and if you are not bullish yet, I do not know when you will be.
