The price of Hive is starting to show signs of what is to come, so I have been rushing to get my hands on anything that looks like liquid Hive and simply power it up, Why? Liquid Hive has no propensity to bring any returns, but powered Hive does. 

Last HPUD, I staked 230 Hive, and while it appeared decent, I thought it was extremely poor. Staking it means I have added another 230 Hive that could potentially bring curation rewards. 


Now inasmuch as whatever potential Curation reward 230 Hive might bring is small, calculate that returns with when Hive hits 3$. 

There is no curation reward or liquid Hive that is not worth fighting for, so why? I believe that liquidity will be an issue for most people when prices skyrocket and they have already gambled with the little liquid they have. 

I was speaking with a person some days ago and he talked about the potentials of the 2025 alt run. Then I told him something.

 I told him that many people will predict lower prices, sell at this level, and then have nothing to sell when the market goes completely crazy. He admitted that this was true, but that he had not considered it. 



## I Talk Too Much


Apparently, I have been telling the people around me to hustle for every liquid Hive, and if they choose to stake it, all the better for them. Although my ideas and influence appear to be more like financial advice, I can not help it. I like to remind people that what I say is not financial advice.

 It is the standard thing to say. It is more like reading the terms and conditions. You know how people come to terms and conditions, skip everything, and then do whatever they want despite the pages of warnings? However, I go ahead and tell them that it was not financial advice, so if they get *rekd*, they will not bother blaming me.

 That sounded really funny, but that was it. Even when there is a potential profit, you can still be *rekd*, which is the risk of providing financial advice. 


I have spoken with a few people in the last two days, and I regret not converting more HBD to Hive. I'm literally on Whatsapp, telling someone to convert all their HBD to Hive and all that, and they're probably like *"hold on a a minute"* I do not care, because I know they would not mind getting *rekd*. 


## Ether 

I checked ether a few days ago, and it had already reached 4k. It was around 3.4k about a month ago, and seeing it at 4k indicates that the market is starting to cook. Hive responds very late to market rallies.




## The Late Response 

 I remember yesterday afternoon BTC was 100k and Hive was still at 31 cents and not reacting to that pump, but at night it suddenly pumped all the way to 38 cents; I am sure a few corrections will occur back to that 36 cents range, but all I am trying to prove with this is that Hive price actions are sneaky, and if you sell off in a bearish manner, you lose out due to sheer unbelief.


 In reality, many people believe that $1 is the top or resistance, but I disagree. One of the things I do not think about is attempting to predict Hive's price at the market's peak.


 I might imagine it or chat with it privately with people I know, but I rarely try to project it on people who read my content, because Hive can be incredibly fascinating when you are bearish, and many people will most likely learn the hard way after this cycle, which may be too late. 





## In Conclusion 

Everyone has a learning curve, but unfortunately, it comes at the expense of something. Some people have sold their stash.  Apparently the *FUD* of the dip we experienced last year and this year, made them think Hive was going zero. We've been fighting a lot of stuff. 

People have been arguing about the DHF, valueplan, and other topics, and these arguments lead you to believe that there is no value in the Hive network. I believe we can and should improve in a variety of areas. 

We never should have to depend on a bull run to create attraction, and I think eventually we will wise up and get better. However, there is no stopping the upcoming bull run; I am not going to start predicting because I do not want to go there; I simply believe that the run of next year will teach many people valuable lessons, and I hope you will not be on the wrong side of regret. *This is not financial advice.
