Interesting point. Hive does move independently at times. BTC can influence the overall mood, but it doesn’t explain Hive’s spikes — those come from its own liquidity quirks. The way I see it: BTC goes up → people get more active → some buy Hive → small spikes appear. But that’s not the same as BTC +5% = Hive +50%. If the correlation were direct, LTC wouldn’t be sitting still right now.
