Well you are doing your part, you are still around and still active. This is the very first step for all of us. From there we can build something :-)

I think one small thing how we can contribute is to not give up and continue being active here.

Exactly, there is very little point doing something that seems to be defined by an algorithm and in the end, we just do all exactly the same thing. I believe there is some place for doing things differently...

This algorithm pressure kind of killed my motivation and it was either stopping or doing something I enjoy doing :-)

Thanks a lot for the curation!

Thanks for the CTPSB tokens ;-)

In the crypto world we saw a lot of ups and downs and there will be ups again I believe.

I think that in the long run we might still get a return on HBD but it hurts the price of hive and we probably need to do something about it.

The monetary attraction is definitely a core concept here on hive. Without that, I don't know how many people would still be around. On the other hand a drop in price could mean a change in ownership with

I withdrew about 12K of HBD 3 months ago and now I'm paying bills with it :-)

Maybe I'd buy some HIVE if I had extra funds. That's an idea to keep in mind!

Good perspective :-)

Same for me but I'm worried that we might end up in a ghost town if prices drop much more.

it means that I'll be buying more HIVE. That's the spirit :-)

I think it's a good mechanisme in place to protect hive but it has consequences that can hurt a lot of people.

Every HBD is a kind of dept in hive. Every HBD can be swapped into hive and the more the relationship between Hive and HBD becomes HBD heavy, the more this is an issue. The haircut level is to make sure

You are right to point out that these prices are not only due to how hive works and how tokens are minted. When I look at other chains like Solana, the drop of value is similar.

These are very wise words :-)

I have to agree that there are a lot of people on hive who don't want to face the reality, probably because they profit from the status quo...

It's also a good idea not to be too active and adapt once we see where things go.
