This kind of thing happens every cycle, not sure why everyone thought the ETF news was going to change anything right off the bat. People were expecting some tidal wave of money that hasn't come yet. It's going to take some time for things to progress.

But as far as everything going down the crapper, I am with you and is why I am doing everything in my power to not make dollar based reportable income. Hell my store, the Hivelist.store accepts nothing but crypto, but nobody seems to want to actually spend it, that's the problem.

The hodl ideology completely screwed up the whole P2P ethos, and not just with BTC. People don't even want to spend HBD, which is supposed to be the actual currency of this chain. That's all thanks to the 20% APR, which in my mind needs to drop because it's unsustainable because we can't keep the price of Hive up.
