Terrible timing to sell your hive during an highly possible accumulation zone in the market happening right now. We won't know for sure until after but it's definitely a good time to accumulate more either way.
Keeping it staked would help us keep this more decentralized but since your leaving anyways for a couple of DV's I guess it means your cutting your losses or it's because you have better options elsewhere? Or maybe you just don't believe in the project as much as you say you have?
I don't really know. Can't really say which way it may go. But I don't think the DV is the real reason but rather just a convinient excuse to leave.
You knew Hive was an oligarchy before you ended up on the receiving end of one of its whales' voting power. You participated in that system anyway. It's a little convenient to suddenly decide the structure is intolerable when the other side of that power imbalance is the one hitting you.
Who knows.
