I must say that I've been impressed by the Hive community's response to the current crypto markets decline. While we still haven't seen an explosion of numbers, in the space, it is the maturity active community members are taking the season that impresses me. Many are simply focused community engagement as well as growing their current position. I don't have the stats, but it would be interesting to compare our engagement numbers with similar Bear periods in the past.
Delayed gratification is a virtue that has become associated with the Hive chain. Anyone who shows up for quick profits will be sorely disappointed, regardless of whether the individual is a market investor or a community participant. Of course it is a lot better if you actually enjoy the platform and believe in its long term vision as it makes it easier to weather the storm.
Believing in the long term vision and going about your daily activities in line with that vision certainly isn't without its rewards. They may not be weighty at the time, but Hive is a long term rewarder of those who stick with it, and this has been proven time after time. Am sure a sizeable number of the community sees the decline for what it truly is - an opportunity for growth.
Everyone knows the Hive chain is currently underutilized and its token undervalued by a sizeable margin. Yet the one way we guarantee winning is ensuring the active utilization of our stake and space. It is encouraging to know this platform still means a lot to many people, and incase you don't see it, that is the biggest indicator for a spectacular rebound.
