HIVE seems to be tied to BTC.
If BTC pops, then we will see a corresponding pop in the price of HIVE.
My fear is that since HIVE guarantees the price of HBD of HIVE and since the witnesses recklessly raised the interest rate on HIVE to 20%, we could easily see a halving of the price of HIVE.
I suspect that fear of the HBD guarantee will continue to pull down the price of HIVE for the foreseeable future.
