If one wants to speculate on the price moves of Hive, do not power up. Keep it liquid which, by the term, means it is liquid.

The long power down at the base layer is a security feature that prevents outside attack. Exchanges face harsh consequences if they want to participate in a hostile takeover.

Security always have to be one of the main priorities at the base layer. To compromise that so people can speculate could result in an attack that could destroy the total value of Hive.
