This isn't looking good. We're hardly even halfway through the mega bull market. What that might do to the price of HBD is unfortunate. Also, HIVE could use some support when the bear market hits. In early 2018, STEEM was hit hard while SBD remained well above 1 USD until the summer of 2018. I'm afraid something similar will happen to HIVE and HBD this time around as well.
If you look at the proposals for HDF funding:

you'll see that there are three proposals (#158, #159 and #166) being funded whose main function is to stabilize the price of HBD by dumping it to the markets in order to bring its price to as close as 1 USD as possible while turning that demand into demand for HIVE.
