I reckon like me, the current HIVE prices have people a little crestfallen and feeling downtrodden. And no, I am not here to say, "Don't worry, it will all be okay", because I don't know that the price will recover any time soon, or any time in the distant future either. However, since it is what it is,
So be it.
The challenge with not only HIVE, not only crypto, but with the entire global economy right now, is that it is a gigantic mess. There is massive overvaluation in some areas, undervaluation in others, and most importantly - a huge amount of volatility which causes copious levels of uncertainty. There are wars, conflicts and operations that are going on. There are political tensions over tariffs and land masses. And at national levels, there is a contagious spread of blame of foreigners ruining everything and causing everything from housing crises to unemployment and social problems. That seems fair, but what is actually to blame are the politicians and corporations themselves, who have created not only the policies, but incentives to power migration, without any infrastructure planning to deal with the aftermath.
This is par for the course though, because over the last few decades, governments have been working primarily with corporations to maximise profits so the wealthy few can get wealthier, without considering the consequences. Instead of planning ahead, when the inevitable happens and their actions cause negative repercussions, they push the blame and responsibility of clean up on the people who were actually affected by their decisions in the first place, and who have already paid at least once to the wealthy.
It is a wealth transfer that keeps on pushing more into fewer pockets.
When it comes to HIVE price though, who know what happens. But when it comes to Hive as a community platform, *act with some fucking decorum and honour, and stop your bitching and whining. This place operates despite the low price, so use it as it is intended to be used, as a place for creatives, developers and various readers and commentators to interact together, build together, and do shit that won't be done elsewhere.
If it all goes to zero forever?
Even though I have hopes that it will improve my financial situation one day, this was never meant to be a job, and there was never a salary involved. Despite the huge amount of entitlement some people have about what they deserve from Hive, no one deserves anything, whether earning from writing or buying in. As far as monetary-type value is concerned, there is risk involved, and if you are now unwilling to face the risks, that is okay. Bail out. You might lose something, you might gain something, but grow a pair and make some decisions for yourself, instead of relying on everyone else to make it all okay for you.
For those who want to take some risks for a better future?
Find a chair next to some people you want to spend time talking with, and start fucking talking to them. Stop crying into your pillow at night about what could have been and what you should have done, and acknowledge that this is where it is right now and at least historically, we have been here before. That doesn't mean the future will be bright, but it also doesn't mean it won't be bright, or brighter.
Obviously, I am tired of these shit market values too, and I wish Hive will go to the moon and sun and reach out into the farthest depths of the universe. But come on, that is not where we are now, and it might not be where we are this year or next. It could be that in two years from now, the earth is a flaming ball hurtling through space devoid of life also.
I give it even odds with HIVE hitting a dollar.
At the end of the day, your decisions are yours. So before you make any, go and take a good long hard look at yourself in the mirror and decide on what kind of person you want to be.
And then be it.
