Looks like I'm an idiot. Not sure how I managed to misread the value, but I got it wrong by 3 digits. In my screenshot from coinmarketcap it was 1.6 million USD in trading volume.
May be that I confused the comma and dot rules which are reversed in German. Sorry for that :-)
It happens don’t sweat it. Id be a little worried if it was only 3K :)
No worries. I think your underlying principal is correct in that Hive and Steem run pretty close together. Neither have large volume when compared to large stocks or crypto and I think both are still vulnerable to pretty wild swings.
