This was indeed a pleasant surprise to see HIVE jump to over $1. Even though it's now 3 days later and HIVE is back to .84 it's still a step forward and a nice base line for future increases. I think Splinterlands has a lot to do with the increased popularity of HIVE . It's a great thing how communities complement each other and help the whole system to grow. It's nice to hear from you @nathanmars, looking forward to growing HIVE forward with you and all our friends.
Totally agree with you on how massively Splinterlands is contributing to Hive's success.
Likewise, It's nice seeing your comment and I'm very much looking forward to working alongside our Hive community after a 3-4 months break.
