If you recall a while back, let me say 2017, for some 2016, it was the infancy for the majority of the crypto holder to fully comprehend the nature of social media with crypto. It was just Bitcoin and Ethereum song you could hear. I am no exception to this majority. I was into Dash for a while since it was hot then. It was steem like never before. It was the battle of proof of work versus proof of stake. It was Bitcoin cash, Bitcoin SV, LTC, it was a crypto world where you can see the future but you were sure it belongs only to Bitcoin #hodlers.
Lockdown in 2020 changed the whole crypto world. Inflation turns on its back and put crypto in a pedestal. There are respected blockchains than Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the specimen for cryptos to lead the way. The true value belongs to the community. Decentralization got the best of us. The word decouples centralization with #Steem by being reborn with #Hive where the witnesses with the community engage and decide to what we have today. Is it perfect? Never will be, but it is commendable to attract more folks to understand what we stand for. It allows what the community conveys to be a decentralized token for every holder.
Value is like a turtle in Hive. Do not expect a sprinter like mister rabbit but the final destination always looks promising. Just for the last 14 days, a 1000+ satoshis have maintained daily. Definitely more lions are posting and curating. 2000+ satoshis are in sight where the market is always on top. We are all connected. Stock market, forex, crypto, it is a vicious circle that intend to make you think otherwise.
It is getting clear by having many public companies invested in crypto, it shows how the world is welcoming crypto to the range of tangible market. $2 trillion might seems peanut but everyday 100+ billion volume in crypto change the viewfinder of all the banks. It is getting really easy to look at #Coinbase and see where we are heading. #MSTR took the bait from last year and it pays dividend all the way to 455% in stock valuation. The list is long enough to see now #BTC is at $46k and within 12 month $100k is ideal.
This mingle of crypto and traditional market is the commencement of the transition of sound money.
No wonder Elon Musk never took a formal salary from Tesla. He knew fiat currency are not going to cut it long term. He picked stock along the way as Tesla is grooming its valuation. He is the face of Tesla just like we are the face of Hive. So it is not about the money, it is about the power of the community. It is the power we hold each by making sure you hold Hive power and keep the blockchain going. I wish I can hold 23% like him and never sell. This is the good side of inflation. Hope you get this parallel.
Before #Cub Finance, few of us knew how to read this pic. To say more Decentralized Finance. I read about it. I played quite a few time with #uniswap. I can tell why the majority of Cub holders can swing on all LP you see on this page. I recalled when CUBDEFI was implemented, together we all figured it out through discord. There is a sense of togetherness to achieve the responsible manner we see already in #Leofinance. Information wise we are doing really fantastic. I have to add we trust each other by following the pure principle of maintaining Hive for everyone. At the end of the day, it is not a giving, nothing is guarantee. Everything could go to zero. Having this mentality keep the train moving smoothly. Deep inside all diamond paws want to succeed.
Every time I look at CUBDEFI, it reminds me the community is first and then all tokens you can think of. It allows everyone to appreciate other projects that inspire the growth of the community. As you know, nobody is trying to reinvent the wheel, we just want it to ride smoother. Any crypto you can think of, follow the same principle from Bitcoin. Bitcoin itself follows the principle from Gold.
This is why we called Bitcoin gold 2.0
Bitcoin is unique when you think of inflation. Just 21 million BTC and it is done. Better get some while you can otherwise you may have to pay a fortune to get some. Hive is on the other side of the aisle. It has inflation to allow liquidity and Hive welcomes everyone to hold and participate. Luckily we have 
Holding Hive is not only about Hive, it is about the universe of cryptos where you can indulge in any conversation that fit your profile. This is why communities to an extent tribes came to fruition.
This part of the blockchain is the most advance and futuristic of UI side. While you get to post about your liking, folks with the same mentality will flourish at unison. And you get to pick the tribes you want your post to appear. Is that wonderland?
Still we are asking everyday, why one Hive is not 40,000 satoshis? I want to blame decentralization. I know it is not fair to judge. Let me say time will dictate the true value Hive will emulate to the market. Just like you I came to understand Hive is among a sea of 8000+ tokens acting the same way like other tokens in a way but differ greatly within DPOS.
Hive is meant to use by everyone willing to step into blockchain and have the patience of the resource credit to write or curate daily. Hive has its moment. If you have some to say and want to earn Hive while saying it, welcome to Hive.
Like they may say, when you go crypto, you don't go broke.
