I have to admit I love it when the price drops as not only is Hive easier to earn but it thins the following feed down. I am happy to vote on users who are here right now as it tells you they are serious about growing. This isn't always the case though as many are still selling Hive at these prices which is pure madness.
I must admit now as the tribe tokens are going up in value especially Leo and Sports I think we need to protect what we have by supporting like minded members of the community. Leo is fine as the price is established already and is well on the way to achieve something big I think. The sky is the limit for Leo right now and things have only just started. what I like most about it is at least there are community members switched on who are looking out protecting their stake.
Sports on the other hand still has more users selling than staking and the decision has to be made not to support users selling. Why would I support people flooding the market keeping the price down. This has happened before roughly 6 months ago and is kind of like a deja vu moment yet again. If the community is not careful the same thing will play out with everyone asking where is the value. I have over 40 million staked and would like to have some value one day in the distant future.
It is amazing that when the price is down there is very little activity and as soon as the needle changes direction everyone appears. I have no problem with that, but join the community for the right reasons and not to just milk whatever you can earn. If you are there to earn then at least stake something to show you have some skin in the game.
If you don't know which users are selling here is a link for sports which will show you what is happening. Many are traders buying in and out trying to make some extras but they also put pressure manipulating the price which is not good either. The other day the same user was buying and selling tokens blocking the front end. Funny enough the same user was doing the same to Leo last night when I checked.

I do believe if users who are looking long term and follow the same action we will see the price of sports rise over time as less will be hitting the exchange. The more we all stake the harder it is to earn as the vote value drops if you don't keep on staking. This will impact on how many tokens are being earned by non stakers which is better long term for anyone invested.
I know many users said in the past they are your tokens so it is your decision on what you do with them. That is very true and it is my choice then not to support that action as it is the opposite of how I am thinking. It is amazing how some users act as though they are long term but behind the scenes are selling everything they are earning. Posts in Hive may only show $1 but don't be fooled as posts in the community with the value of the tokens could be 20 or 30 x that amount.
I have the same attitude with Hive these days as supporting like minded people is only a pleasure. If everyone grows together staking regularly then growth should just happen over time. If someone is prepared to sell at 11 cents can you imagine when it is $5. This is the time to grow and not to sell as things are just getting started.
