The native cryptocurrency of the Hive blockchain, **$HIVE** has a downtrend in its price over the last 7 days. In fact, the price is almost half of what it was last weekend. At $0.77, Hive has made a shown a 13.71% loss in its value in the last 24 hours and the price trends shows it may dump the more to the lows of $0.5. At this point, there is Fear, Uncertainty adn Doubt (FUD) in the side of newbies to the cryptosphere as well as weak hands. The FUD would lead to more users dumping their HIVE so it doesn't lose more value.

In my first two years on Hive, I had fallen a victim of FUD and had lost much valuable assets because I wanted to take advantage of the market lest it bleeds deeper. It dawn on me that a bull season succeeded the bear and it was painful how much valuable assets I had traded for pizzas.

### The best time to stack HIVE
Each passing day, I'm growing in knowledge about investment and crypto investment in particular. This knowledge affords me to make better decisions when it comes to investment. I know how I hated the bear seasons in the past, but now, I gladly pray for them to come so I can prepare for the next bull. 

I personally wish that Hive dips a little more to say $0.5 and I could gather as much as 5k tokens  to help step up with curation on the base layer while focusing on investing into the second layer during the next  bull season. Truth remains that a bull season would succeed these bear days.


As we expect the next bull season coming, as a hive-engine token enthusiast, the next phase of Hive price would mean a deep dip for the second layer tokens. Sincerely, it won't be surprising to see that some good performing second layer tokens would be purchased for one-fifth their present price. That really means a lot for a long term curator with second layer tokens

At the moment, the FUD has also permeated the hive-engine markets as some users are also tryhing to sell off their tokens cheap so as to be able to cash out some Hive while it is yet tangible before it bleeds to zeros. This would cause a bleed in the market for a short while, but after which, some new Hive-engine token whales would emerge who take advantage of the dump.

I would say that this is the best time to convert HBD to Hive as well as earn more from content creation as building Hive Power becomes easier at this point. The prevailing market has made me appreciate more the pegging of HBD to $1 and why one should hold some more HBDs. Sincerely, we love it when Hive bulls but its a whole different game when it bleeds,. Our holdings lose value and more. However, holding assets as a stable coin means more at times as this. I just converted some HBD to Hive and it's interesting how I got more HIVEs to invest in LEO, ONEUP  and other hive-engine tokens.
