Ed, excellent data as always. Unfortunately for HIVE it looks like the Korean speculators are fueling the rise. I was really hoping HIVE was catching on with the wider crypto community after all these years.
Having said that, Koreans keep SBD pegged around $6, so if they do the same with HIVE then their speculation could be a positive. HIVE is a chain with long term, proven value, it should be worth as much if not more than it is. The higher price will also drive more interest and users. In other words, who knows what will happen!
I think you have the best conclusion.
