It's so nice to see so many people over at HIVE all just getting along. The Honeymoon is magical! They compliment each other, upvote one another; they're so kind and well-mannered. It's the Crypto Woodstock of the new millennium! Hugs and kisses, flowers and hearts, singing and dancing! And members of the HIVE High Council, particularly BlockTrades, are also singing and dancing all the way to the bank... with your money!
Meanwhile, the HIVE drones are all starry-eyed as they watch the HIVE token climb the ranks of www.coingecko.com at #61, overtaking the STEEM token, which has fallen to #74.
The problem, of course, is that their dreamy eyes are looking at a mathematical illusion. They are multiplying the current price by the total supply. The truth is, the HIVE token has no market cap; and in fact, it is ranked #2171 at www.coinmarketcap.com, while STEEM ranks at #67 with a market cap of $60,851,464. Why? Because HIVE has no market!
The price of the HIVE token is based on the very few sales that are taking place from the HIVE hippies who are selling what little amount of STEEM they have, to buy into the HIVE revolution. A bunch of desperate Steem Minnows and Dolphins who are now dreaming of becoming HIVE Killer Bees! What a sad state of affairs to see so much manipulation from a group of disgruntled Steemians on an ego trip. Because that's all this is, an ego trip by a bunch of childish narcissists having a temper tantrum.
Unfortunately, it's the little guys who are falling into this honeytrap. Do you honestly believe that the HIVE High Council, and those who have more than 100,000 STEEM, are actually powering down to buy HIVE tokens?! You're delusional! They have no need to acquire HIVE POWER, they already have it! In essence, this is all about power, and nothing more. And as the Oracle in the Matrix said to Neo, "What do all men with power want? More power."
Those large STEEM accounts that are being powered down are going to park their STEEM into BTC, LTC, EOS, or maybe even TRON!!! Wink, wink! And they're going to sit back and wait for all of you with small accounts of 500, 1000, 5000, 7000, 10000 STEEM to buy HIVE and pray that the price goes up.
But it won't!!! The House of Cards will come tumbling down, and the HIVE High Council will be off with BlockTrades at the Cayman Islands, on the beach, sipping on a sweet daiquiri.
All the while, the little HIVE worker bees will be on their knees, breathless, as they look up at Morpheus, who with his fatherly eyes, gently but rhetorically asks, "Do you think that's air you're breathing now?!"
Wake up people, for as we vulgarly say in the Hip Hop Culture... you're being fucked with no vaseline!
