Next month I'll mark my sixth year here on what is now known as Hive (7 if you count the year I spent lurking since Spring/early Summer 2016). Since I have this tiny window of time available to post right now, I decided to bang out a short (for me) post about an OG's perspective on the token and how we look at things over time.
One of the benefits of doing anything for a long time is that you tend to see the peaks and valleys in the token price as just that; Peaks and valleys. Unless the Aliens have finally landed and started abducting Hiveians en masse, or something catastrophic has occurred with the fundamentals of Hive on the blockchain, I have one piece of advice:
JUST KEEP CREATING.
See if you're new, you might freak out, not realizing the CYCLICAL nature of things on the blockchain and finance in general. A dip in price can be a great opportunity to stack more $HIVE, and is one of the ways the whales built their stake i the first place. I should know, I watched them do it. :)
And so a wise Hiveian will keep his powder dry, and pounce on this temporary "sale" of the token, and that's exactly how you should be looking at it.
And while this isn't financial advice (just the ramblings of a sleep-deprived Hiveian at 1:48 AM), always do your due diligence you know, in case those aliens have actually landed and begun snatching up those plump, juicy block(chain)heads for later consumption.
Just remember that even AAPL was at $12 a share at one time. I read that Steve finally gave up trying to woo Wall St. and decided to continue creating great products and win over the customer instead. That's exactly what we should be ding here. Ride out those cycles and JUST KEEP CREATING.

Just bought a little not long ago. Probably buying some more after bit. Get some sleep my friend.
Indeed, it's amazing what a little nap will do! :) I usually take any accumulated $HBD and buy more $HIVE when the price dips like this, and then flip it the other way around when the $HBD price is lower than $HIVE.
Upvoted for the title alone, as this is what I am feeling about ( my ) life in general, these days :<)
Thanks, and glad I could be of assistance. :) I took a look over on your blog the other day and you seem to be doing quite well in attracting people to your work. I'm always happy to see people do well in their personal and professional life. You seem like a good guy and you certainly deserve it! :)
I like to think that that is the result of 6 years of putting in the work. Plus, as you mention, me basically trying to be a good guy ;<)
Same here and it seems like I'm finally getting rewarded, a little more, after a long time of struggling.
I appreciate the kind words, buddy :>)
🦖hug!
