HIVE was born or created during one of the most volatile financial environments in recent history. The coin born of a fought for hardfork of the Steem blockchain has seemed to thrive during a time of world wide strife.
Many of the original Steem developers have been involved in the creation of HIVE. Without the burden of the "ninja mined" Steem which represented the beginnings of Steem, HIVE represents a true community. Many of the former Steem projects and platforms have moved to HIVE and their users have followed.
The price of HIVE jumped over 600% as the coin became available on the Huobi exchange. Binance has also announced a listing for HIVE on their popular exchange.
