"There was already a chat set up with Bittrex before you did this and discussions were already on the way."

They wanted Hive to delay the hardfork/airdrop, but then I landed a call with the VP who then introduced me to the Head of Listings for a follow up call.

It's an attack on all fronts strategy, and whether landing a call with a decision maker at Bittrex had any impact, I'm not sure.

To say I had 'nothing' to do with exchanges, is silly.
