Is Now A Good Time to Buy HIVE ($0.35)?

As avid users of the Hive ecosystem, we are all always watching the HIVE price like hawks. Right now, the entire Crypto market is being dragged to the dirt on news that FTX - the second largest exchange in all of crypto - was on the verge of bankruptcy and is (potentially) being bought out by Binance.

This has widespread effects. Some of the biggest industry players in crypto (TradFi players, who started dipping their toes in) were using FTX and were investors in various seed stages of the company.

Alongside this, SBF - Sam Bankman Fried - holds a lot of various crypto assets. It's very possible he's dumping many of these assets to try and save his business (see: SOL, etc.).

Is Now A Good Time to Buy HIVE ($0.35)?

We're not here to talk about the rest of the market though. We're here wondering if HIVE is a good buy right now.

HIVE was hovering around the $0.50 range for a very long time as the whole crypto market traded sideways for weeks and weeks on end.

Personally, I've been buying HIVE for the past several weeks around $0.50. As you may have heard in various podcast clips from the LeoFinance weekly podcasts, I have grown very bullish on HIVE lately and love the changes that we're seeing on-chain. Especially surrounding HBD.

Additionally, I've had to buy tons of HIVE for the bHIVE & bHBD protocol on https://cubdefi.com/farms (I also love earning 37% APY for pooling HIVE and HBD over there). But that's a story for another day.

Key Metrics I Look At for HIVE

If you're reading this, you're likely an avid user of the Hive ecosystem. I don't need to tell you about the dozens of applications like Splinterlands, 3Speak and LeoFinance that have chosen to build Web3 on top of the Hive blockchain technology stack.

Instead, I'll tell you a bit about some less known metrics. A few places that I keep my eyes on.

HBD Metrics By @ausbitdev

This is a fascinating dashboard created by @ausbitdev which shows us key metrics related to HBD. You can find it here.

Some of the key things I'm looking at:

  • HBD Market Cap
  • HIVE Market Cap
  • Current Debt Ratio (HBD MCAP / HIVE MCAP)
  • Hive Median Price

HIVE must stay above $0.0713 to avoid the HBD haircut rule being in place. We have seen the haircut rule take over a few times in the way distant past but this is a very unlikely event. I believe you could use this as a "Baseline" or absolute bottom for where HIVE could go.

This all being said, we've seen HIVE users and whales defend $0.10 before. I highly doubt we ever break that level. Not impossible, but highly doubtful.

Various Stats Reports by @dalz

There are way to many to cover but @dalz posts some sort of HIVE analysis at least 1x per week. These reports have shown me a lot about the inflows and outflows of HIVE. I'm excited to see how these metrics have grown more and more bullish.

Above are two of his most recent posts. Take a look at the Hive inflation metrics. It's giving "ETH Ultrasound Money" vibes.

Very bullish.

Arcange Daily Reports

@arcange has automated reports run daily on the Hive ecosystem. You can get an incredible sense of what is going on. Here's the latest report from him:

https://leofinance.io/@arcange/hive-finance-20221106-en

Some noteworthy things I look at:

  1. Supply
  2. HBD in Savings
  3. Exchanges (Inflows and outflows of HIVE to CEXes)

Conclusion

image.png

It's time to draw a conclusion to the question I posed in this post: is now the right time to buy HIVE?

Personally, I have been buying at $0.50. $0.45. $0.40. $0.35... I have been dollar cost averaging into HIVE for weeks now.

As I said, I have other motivations than just waiting for the price to go up. I'm pooling HIVE on https://cubdefi.com/farms for 37% APY and simultaneously benefiting some of the things that I have my paws in.

That being said, I still believe HIVE to be a great investment for the long-term.

If I had to sum it up in 3 broad-based categories:

  1. Community
  2. Technology
  3. Economics

The community on Hive is second-to-none. We rival the conviction of the Bitcoin community in this regard. Our core community is a group of a highly active, highly motivated users who tend to be rather sophisticated when it comes to crypto/technology. I've met some of the coolest people on this blockchain and 9 times out of 10, they are all doing something for the benefit of the chain. Like building a business or a dApp here.

The technology of Hive has always been light years ahead of other blockchains. We have fast (nearly instant) and free transactions with a very large degree of scalability.

Frankly, I think you'll be hard-pressed to find a chain with similar tech or even tech that comes close. As a builder of Hive dApps, I can't imagine using any other chain to get the results we get.

The economics of Hive have never been more bullish to me. Actually, I believe that in the past on of the main hesitations I would've had (even though I always bought and held a lot of Hive) about Hive is the economics. In the past, we saw a lot of undesirable things related to Hive tokenomics.

Today, things are radically different. The HIVE DHF is working incredibly well and if you take a look at those @dalz reports I pasted above, you'll see some other metrics that are working in Hive's favor.

I was bullish on Hive because of Community and Tech but now the Economics have caught up as well. Add that to the list of reasons to HODL hive long-term.

See the chart I posted above? $0.35 has held pretty well for HIVE recently.

I do thing it's possible we dip below that but in my honest opinion, $0.35 is a really nice level for HIVE in the near-term. I think the Crypto Market is slowly approaching a bottom-out phase and this $0.35 might be something that HIVE bounces off of.

I'm no technical analyst. In fact, I don't really even believe in technicals. This is a highly opinionated... opinion.

Take it with a grain of salt (and also with all the other natural disclaimers of not financial advice).

Personally, I'm a buyer! ✅

Powered it up and built some good stack for myself.

Eventually it pays to buy and own hive. Especially when we look at the cumulative returns overtime. Personally I don't know if we might see more dips, but this is a favourite time to buy hive.

Looks like many people are waiting for this level to buy HIVE. Grabbing some HIVE is definitely a good idea and I did. I'm excited and bullish on Hive.

I think many people felt 50 cents was a good price for Hive . As soon as it dropped , everyone's mentality was "Hey this is great opportunity".

I believe in Hive Fundamentals are Strong enough to think for Long term and buying more of this short time dip.

Well, I'm also buying from similar price range applying the same DCA strategy from $.0.5 to $0.35 This range is quite too cheap especially when it's Holding Good at this point.

I've never been more excited to buy Hive as I was today 😂 it's a different feeling when you know you're getting a good coin at such a cheap price.

I hope I get to buy more before the bull run hehe
But still, HBD savings is tempting for me too 😅

I don't understand why Hive fell to $0.35.

Who is selling? I find it hard to believe SBF owned any Hive, let alone owned enough to dump it and move the price by 30%.

I share your opinion it is a self-fulfilling prophecy, so many people believe and trade on the same fundamentals that they end up becoming real.
I stay away from TA, I prefer to just make random buy orders at prices I feel comfortable with. Just bought some more hive 😁

Right there with ya. I've been Buying up hive since $0.70 days. To be honest I feel like there's no reason to really hold the HBD and instead just convert that into Hive or place it on the CubDeFi right now.

This is very reasonable idea getting hive now and stacking it up... but my hopes was it going higher...I also have been watching how the market has been going up and down. The news of binance buying FTS is not so new to me...the market wasn't stable.

Now it's an even better time. $0.33 at the moment of writing the comment. I know it feels like catching falling knives, but for long term holders buying at $0.50, $0.40 or $0.30 makes pretty much no difference.

In my own understanding, now is the right time to buy more hive especially the long term holder.

Looks like we are knocking on $0.30 now, and pretty much in free fall... Not sure what a good entry point is, anymore... I'm guessing we might see 20 cents.

I am buying. It seems to me that the buyers are the ones who will stake it and take it off the market. This will probably create a famine for traders when the price goes up again and will push the value to higher highs. Not financial advice, Just my musings.

I bought a bunch at .36 and Now that it's down to .3, I'm thinking about buying more!

Now the only question on my mind is do I power up with it or sit on it until Hive goes back up, then flip it to HBD. Hmm...

If $0.35 wasn't a good time $0.29 definitely is! It may not be time to back up the truck yet...but it is for sure time to take a nice bite!

Less than $1.00 USD is always a buy for me. Just bought HIVE two days ago. I wish I have extra funds to buy it now.

Hive at 0.3 is for any investor to wait for a day like this. Although the market sentiment is negative, it's equally an opportunity. I am sure many have filled their bag.

In my own perspective, I don't think now is the best time to buy Hive well I'm actually speaking for myself because some others might see as an opportunity and if they do see as an opportunity they should go for it but not me.

Realmente no,, se acerca diciembre y todos sabemos que sucede hasta el 25 de ese mes, los precios tienen tendencia a seguir bajando, no se extrañen de un BTC a 14 mil o menos
Febrero es la fecha para la recuperacion segun el historial de las cripto.

Hi, actually this is an excellent article as usual, and I really think it is a great time to keep accumulating Hive, I hope to accumulate enough to wait for Hive price recovery.

Thanks for such valuable information. Regards.

!1UP Hive fundamentals are stronger than ever before; if you're in for the long run, it makes a lot of sense to keep buying right now... or even buy more!

For long term, it is certainly good. For short term, probably it will go further down. We will see.

If you were happy to buy and earn HIVE yesterday, then a random exchange going under that has nothing to do with our decentralised, permissionless network, shouldn't change your strategy.

In my opinion, HIVE crypto was a buy yesterday and it's still a buy today.

But what would I know 😉.

This is certainly not financial advice!
