If we are just beginning, shouldn't I at least work towards a 1000 hp goal purely from support before trying to get more Hive to power up with from the exchange...
Depends on you, but for for me, I have been powering up for five years already, so I don't mind taking a powerdown or two to see if I can take advantage of the markets. But., there is always risk in this, as if selling too early, it is going to be a net cost of potential :)
I hope the real pump is still to come and then, the new floor is above where the weakest hands sold.
That definitely sounds good, and if this wasn't the real pump, I'll be quite happy that I kept my HP where it is. If the price goes under a dollar again I think I'll swap HBD for hive. I should have done it in the 80 cent range.
