To Power Down or Not Power Down?!

That's the question!

Probably everyone is rushing to press the power down at these prices. I mean...from those who already haven't, lol.

Honestly, it's probably the sensible thing to do with these prices, whether you just want to cash out and disappear or if you just want to increase your hive position.

Nfa, but yeah powering down and selling is probably the smart thing to do.



Having said that, I won't. Hive has been more than just fair to me, and for more then a year I have been consistently been a top rewarded author. Powering down just feels "unfair". Sure I have put plenty of hours engaging and whatever but I never expected I would be doing that good :D

I am also in a good place in my life now, I don't need the extra stress of selling hive and hoping it will go down only to buy more 😂

Last cycle I had sold about 10k hive and bought myself some nice things. This time I think I will be an idiot and just enjoy the higher post rewards for however long they last, stress free!

I guess in this round I'll just accumulate hbd from my postings and buy a good chunk of hive when the winter comes again. I also have plenty of hive divs rolling from various hive engine investments, I'll be putting half in hbd and the other half in $gifu a bsc token I am highly involved as you may know from all my recent postings :)

Tldr, just post and enjoy the ride stress free this time:D



Honestly, I am just happy to see all this price going and hive reclining the market cap ladder. I was pretty sure we were on a death spiral but we probably bought at least 4 more years

This is a solid query.
I have been wondering the same thing but with smaller amounts of course.
It can be cool to have some liquid hive and play when you got the chance.
I think that for now I will leave it as is :)

I'm hanging around, hoping the coin will have some value for my heirs. Not a trader. A blogger. I feel an obligation to others on the platform to help it grow. As modest as my position is, I try to do a yoe(woman's) duty and keep plugging along. Very happy to see you'll be here for the ride. We need you :)

Same, I'm buying a bit of HIVE every month to support the network, and some of the projects I enjoy - but mainly I just want HIVE to keep working well. For the sake of development, it is good that the price action has been positive.

0.00211033 BEE

Good luck 🤞🤞🤞 Probably the smart thing to do !

0.00000403 BEE

I missed cash out during the last few bull runs. This time I don't want to miss the opportunity. Of course I will buy back if the price goes down again.

0.00198174 BEE

Probably the smart decision 🤞

0E-8 BEE

This is my plan, currently powering down.

0E-8 BEE

The game theory is interesting. Personally I don't like the 3 month power down format. STEEM and BLURT went to the 1 month power down but I still think that is too long. I can see a case for a 3 day unstake like EOS had.

0.00191056 BEE

I am ok with three months. Imo there are other, more serious issues holding us back. The long power down time is probably way down the list.

0.00000118 BEE

Yeah there are various issues for sure and it's tough for everyone to move in the same direction.

0E-8 BEE

I already have plenty to do than guessing/gambling on the price of Hive. I just keep on; reading, writing, upvoting and make a few friends along the way.

0.00184499 BEE

Yeah, pretty much the same mindset here

0E-8 BEE

lol powerdown at 0,6$? haha
I see Hive at 50$+

And time in the markets beats timing the market.

0.00185338 BEE

Indeed, I think it's too early to power down at 0.6$

0E-8 BEE

I am happy with 15$ + 🙃

0.00025276 BEE

With my luck, if I start a power down Hive plummets to 0. So I'll just Hodl, let everyone else cash out on the moon prices! I'll be sure to make a post when I intend on 'cashing out at the top', that way everyone has a few days warning for the inevitable crash haha!

0.00168231 BEE

😂😂😂

0E-8 BEE

Good choice, man. I get very stressed when I sell Hive and see the price going up. I could have waited for it to go up a bit more or waited for it to go down a bit more and bought more Hive but we can't turn back time. I read your posts often and I see that you are doing a good job. I am also in favor of not doing Power Down. If I do one day, it will be so that I can buy more when the price drops. Or to cover some of my marriage expenses.

0.00170937 BEE

My bag isn't nearly as large as yours, so I'm not selling. I see how it could be a tougher choice for you though. Very cool of you to not power down and enjoy those high rewards. That HBD will pile up pretty fast too!

Fingers crossed something big is coming

0E-8 BEE

I am powering down because I want to change some Hive to HBD.

0.00147795 BEE

Good plan

0.00000159 BEE

Converting some to HBD and will wait for correction.
!BBH

0.00147568 BEE

It depends on what people want to do. I am not strapped for cash right now, and I think it's better to build right now. Maybe if prices pump a lot more, I might take some profits, but at this price, I will just collect the HBD and see where things go.

0.00144282 BEE

You know me, I'm an idiot for Hive and will remain here. That said, I am thinking of powering down, just to do what you suggest above, trying to sell on top and buy back when it goes down. But if I do power down, I'll probably lose my nerve and just power up again as soon as the first payment hits.

So yeah... I'll be here till the bitter end. Bring it on!

People can follow different strategies here. Maybe they will sell at a high price and buy hives at a low price. That way they will have more hives.

0.00145249 BEE

The price is not yet a reason for a powerdown. Remember those who sold Bitcoin at 100, 1,000 or 10,000 dollars.
The only reason to power down (for me) is if you need the money.
Nice Gif!

Not mine gif, I just searched for hive lol

Proudly joining you in the "No Power Down Club". Just kidding, I have nothing to power down anymore, already had to do it before but it still feels good to see the current pumps, even though we are still a far cry from the ATH. But who knows, maybe Hive will hit such levels one day that even my tiny leftovers will be worth something :)

1 hive 1000 usd. Soon!

Sounds good. Hopefully Hive won´t mess it up going to 1 USD - 1000 Hive instead :D You know, those damn tricky decimals :D

0E-8 BEE

Yes, you can play on the market - but only if you understand what you are doing!

0.00126504 BEE

Few do though lol

0E-8 BEE

Still too small to power down. And if ever I do it, by the time I unstake my HIVE, the price is either back to where it started or close to it.

I think yes, I read SWAP.GIFU from one of your articles, and that's why I started accumulating it. 100k is the immediate goal.

0.00126064 BEE

Small, big. The math is the same :)

0.00637468 BEE

As for gifu we working hard on it, thanks for your trust!

0.00624718 BEE

Unless you're in financial need I do not see the need of powering down and selling your #hive

0.00124566 BEE

What if it's to buy more hive ? 😅

0E-8 BEE

😆😆

0E-8 BEE

I think it's fair. Sometimes it's good to be sentimentally biased towards Hive, and thanks for fighting for the chain whenever the need arises

0.00124734 BEE

I still praying hive drops soon so as to accumulate more hive. Buying at this price will be a big lost at this point we dont know if its going higher or coming down soon

0.00124581 BEE

Power Up!!!! 🍻

with price up upvotes fist value anyway go up! I vote Power Up!

0.00125026 BEE

If you're gonna power down start now... it's a 3 month process.

0.00104263 BEE

You don't have to sell all for a good profit :)

0.00005448 BEE

It would have to get pretty high for me to sell more than ⅓ of mine.. I'm playing around on the internal market and with HBD savings.. well that and buying $GIFU

I will keep on staking!

A Call to Action Against Downvote Abuse on Hive

Bad downvotes on Hive are a growing concern that must be addressed. These downvotes not only discourage users from sharing their real thoughts and ideas but also damage the community as a whole, we see many walk away

0E-8 BEE

This is a refreshing perspective! It’s always inspiring to see someone prioritizing long-term vision and community engagement over short-term gains. I completely agree—Hive has provided immense opportunities for many of us, and your balanced approach to accumulation and reinvestment is commendable. Kudos on staying stress-free and riding the wave confidently!

That said, I couldn’t help but wonder—while you're experiencing consistent rewards and engagement, I’ve noticed that some of my posts seem to be getting very little traction in comparison. I'm curious—do you think it’s about the timing, content strategy, or just how visibility works on Hive? I’d really appreciate any insights from someone with your experience.

Looking forward to more of your stress-free updates and strategies!

0E-8 BEE

Sales of my hive token is not part of the discussion for me.
But it's good joining the discussion forums.

0E-8 BEE

Your perspective is truly admirable! Hive has done a lot for me as well, and the way you're approaching it with patience and waiting for the best rewards is really inspiring. I believe that patience and making the right decisions at the right time are key. The future of Hive looks bright, and the way you're enjoying the journey will definitely inspire others. Hope the ride continues to be a rewarding one for you!

I don't think I will sell, although I could be wrong.

This is always the question for me also during a Hive Pump.
Power Down and sell...when?? I already sold my 1000 plus HBD and bought Hive during the bear under 20 cents, so the smart thing to do would be to buy back my HBD at a triple gain... and then buy Hive with the HBD or Leo... decisions decisions...
What is Hive goes to a dollar or 2 dollars?
Then I feel silly for selling at 60 cents even for 300% profit...
Thats probably greed and FOMO talking though...
Probably should book my gains and be happy to hopefully triple my HBD

0E-8 BEE

I have not hit the Power Down button myself either.

Maybe if we go past $1 Hive, I might Power down 3-4K but definitely want to stay above 10K HP.
