I do not really need to generate my own chart to show the state of things when I can just snapshot this list. The last week has seen huge loses across the board. $HIVE has actually dropped less than some others, but then it was low to start with.
I do not know all the causes, but this seems like a big adjustment. Perhaps the speculators are moving their money into AI ventures, but then they may only care about profit. The other side of crypto lies in its origins of offering alternatives to conventional finance. In the case of Hive the coin provides incentives to blog and to run the necessary infrastructure. Unlike some others it is not a massive energy hog and transactions are both fast and free. Like many blockchains the transactions are all public, so you do have to be aware that your actions can be monitored.
I do not rely on Hive income, but I know many use it to cover daily expenses and so they will be hit by the current price. I always thought it had the potential to empower people who struggle to get by and I hope that can still happen. This is part of why I want it to succeed. I have no plans to power down for now.
@ksteem is one of the people sharing their solar statistics on Hive. I just posted my own for last month.
@karmatic put out some powerful music. That post reaches payout soon, so send a vote if you can.
@man-with-a-sax was here before, but lost his keys. You may guess what he plays.
@rubenstorm did a write-up on the Fediverse. This is another type of decentralised social media that includes Mastodon. It is not blockchain and some people there are quite hostile to that concept, but I think there is potential for Hive to connect to it somehow.
@the-bitcoin-dood celebrated 2000 followers. As he suspected not all of them are still active. I was able to use 
@hivesql to check the numbers.I started the whisky community a while back. It is fairly quiet, but has a particular focus. I need to post about my latest bottles, but 
The HiveDevs community is a good place to see what people are working on. I see 
I will skip the Dog House this week as I need to concentrate on positive aspects of Hive for now. On such an unrestricted platform there is little I can do about bad behaviour. Just know that if you are seen as bad for Hive then some people are likely to take action. I have no influence on that.
I will be publishing an updated #BritList tomorrow, so let me know of any additions and prod your inactive friends to get back onto Hive. We need more active people to make it even more fun.
Enjoy your weekend and Hive five!
