I'm relatively new to the HIVE community but from looking at the overall crypto markets there hasn't been enough excitement around crypto to get new buyers in, and I also think we have seen so much institutional price halting for the past 6 months that many of the new heads are bored. It was nice to see a big bump in privacy coins due to the conflict in Ukraine... especially when at the time BTC was trending down and sideways. Frankly I don't like to see bad things being the catalyst for crypto to do well but we do have to remember Bitcoin was created during the aftermath of the 2008 market "crash"(barely) and unfortunately part of watching crypto grow and evolve is watching some institutions and systems we have known all our lives will have to fail and fall. I do take a "Glass half full" perspective though, I know from my time on this earth that things must die and decompose to provide space and nutrients for new life.

I would say be patient, be positive and stand for what you believe in.
