A few hours ago the almost 3 hours long AMA with HuobiGlobal representative Ciara Sun came to an end. Although I couldn't attend from the beginning due to different time zones, I scrolled all the way up their telegram feed page and read the whole conversation from scratch.
I am very pleased by the answers submitted but also by the answers both Ciara and roelandp provided. It feels like a great collaboration (listing HIVE) is about to begin(?) We shall see...it would be a great way for them to make up for the mess caused by their actions when they decided to stake their customers funds and interfere in Steem's governance.
However, the reason I am writing these lines isn't to explain to you what was discussed, there are tons of posts already both on Hive but also on Twitter that explain everything in details.The real reason is to highlight the fact that even if those in charge on HuobiGlobal decide that it's of their best interest to list Hive on their exchange...
...Hive community should push even more, and keep being vocal on other social media platforms, especially on Twitter.
That would cause a chain reaction and more eyeballs / exchanges will be interested in our story / background.
HuobiGlobal is definitely a gateway potentially for thousands of new Asian customers and that's definitely GREAT NEWS. Fingers crossed....
If things play out well, that should be our leverage to push CZ and Binance to also make up for the chaos they caused. Especially them...
I've been using Binance since the day I stumbled upon that random comment on FB about Steemit, that eventually brought me on Steem and I never had issues. No shit...
Now I know that they screwed us over in ways no one could think it's possible...I also know that they still haven't enabled Hive withdrawals, despite the fact that they honored the HIVE airdrop...and for other reasons too...
But...and that's a huge BUT...
We do need that listing and they want us to shut up on Twitter. So what's it gonna be?
You may think I am crazy eh? Because..."Why would we need Binance when HIVE is already listed on Bittrex and quite possiblly on Huobi too, right?"
Well...Wrong! The more listings we get, the better. So lemme show you something...
They only reason I started using Bittrex was because on the HIVE listing. I swear...But even if we don't like it, Binance is the real king out there...and that's because the difference in volume on every single coin that is being traded on both platforms is more than huge...It's enormous...
I made a post yesterday, asking the rest of the community what are their crypto holdings and why. You can read it here. As I stated in the post my portfolio is kinda "narrow" I do hold BTC for obvious reasons, but other than my holdings are XMR, ETH, LTC HIVE and STEEM and some random "shitcoins" that I am about to sell.
Here's the proof. What I've marked as "favorites" on Bittrex. Ya I know...but that's all.
OK, so why I think we need a listing on Binance? Let's compare the 24 volume of those coins both on Bittrex and Binance and see what comes out of this. Shall I?
ETH / BTC on Bittrex:
ETH / BTC on Binance:
LTC / BTC on Bittrex:
LTC / BTC on Binance:
STEEM / BTC on Bittrex:
STEEM / BTC on Binance:
XMR / BTC on Bittrex:
XMR / BTC on Binance:
I think you do understand the huge difference in volumes, right?
With no disrespect towards Bittrex since it was the ONLY of the big exchanges that didn't use custodial funds to help JS takeover Steem, but it was also the first exchange that openly supported and listed HIVE in no time...
But still...we DO need a Binance listing...
Shall we continue being a pain in the ass for CZ? I say hell yea...
What do you think?
Let's talk about it in the comment section below.
Have a good one people...and stay safe.
