RE: Lessons I learned After the Recent HIVE Pumps

That is true, but volume on BitPanda or any other exchange can't compare with Upbit. For the time being, what Upbit wants goes, because that's where most liquid HIVE is. But that is likely to change over time, as much as probably they won't like not being able to control these pumps so tightly.

We see major demand for the HIVE coin from other places. Why else would Binance offer at some point over 60% APR for HIVE on Binance Earn? They need the liquid HIVE. And I suppose other exchanges need it as well.

Yes, I think there were quite a few unknowns this time around. Maybe I would have been more patient waiting for the pump to deflate, but we saw quite an intense talk about HIVE on social media, coupled with the new listings and volume, we could have had a sustained rally for a longer period and couldn't be sure where the price would stabilize. So I preferred to make sure I don't hold HBD when the next pump comes.
