How Deep Is Deep - October 2020
Hive is a very interesting place where you can be successful, or unsuccessful, depending on how you act and what you're looking for. The vast majority of people are here to earn and some are earning indeed, while others get a few dollars here and there. This place is not for everyone and you realize that when reality kicks in and you see that old social media behavior will take you nowhere.
This week I read a post in which the author was complaining about the actual price of Hive and expressed their disappointment. I can understand them as if they are living off of Hive, the situation is far from ideal.
This is what Hive, HBD and Leo worth at the moment of writing. I needed to check as I'm not following the price closely, I'm not one of the people who can't go to sleep without checking the market and the first thing they do in the morning is to check it again, and then complain. I've learned a long time ago to be patient with Hive as this is not a get rich quickly kind of business.
I believe many still don't see the opportunity we have here, wasting a good chance to build the foundation that can benefit them later. The price of Hive is sinking, deep and I'm wondering how deep is deep. Not that I'm worried though.
These users can't see the future potential of the platform as they are blinded by concentrating on some quick gain. The platform is developed slowly, we have new opportunities all day and who are staking and staking, will be in a very good position in the near future. This is somehow a natural selection, I don't mind as business is not for everyone, and the profit is for those who are taking the risk.
If you haven't heard, HivePay.io was introduced yesterday by @ jongolson, which is an app that simplifies the process of sending and receiving Hive based payments between merchants and customers. You will be able to incorporate it in your blog or website and accept payments in Hive. This is huge if you ask me.
I have faith in the platform and the community, and am building my future on hive slowly. Another month has gone by and it's time for me to look at the numbers. This is a new habit as I'm usually writing down that I have in my wallet at the end of the month and not really analyzing it. I still like to enjoy my time here by blogging and connecting with others and worry less about how much is in my wallet, but I do take posting quality seriously and like to use my stake to help others grow.
I was able to close October with 29073 HP. That's a 2,397 HP growth, considerably better than in the previous month, when I had a growth of 1509 HP. I'm ok with that and I'm never frustrated because of the price of the token. This is a game for the future.
What about you? Are you worried to see Hive at $0.114? How deep is deep for you? Are you thinking of abandoning the platform is the price goes under $0.114?
Let's hope nobody leaves

People need to understand when the Hive price is low, it's the best time to create content because you get more Hive and HP in author rewards for the same post payout. Or perhaps, it's exactly these people who are looking for a quick gain and aren't intrested in building their Hive nest in the long run, that's why they're complaining.
Your growth in October is very impressive, nearly 9%!!! Great work!
Thank you @livinguktaiwan, I couldn't agree more. They can't see the opportunity and maybe too lazy to invest their time and energy now. But let them leave, we can't keep them by force. They are going to regret it later, as many do already.
I think Hive might not be in the best place talking about price, but as you mention there are a lot of interesting projects. Sure is sad for people that depend on in Hive (I am one of them) but also this is like a test to see who is here just for the money and who is here because they believe in Hive and the community.
Even if Hive keeps going down I will keep pushing, working with communities, creating content and helping all people I can.

It is a test and even if you're here for the money, if you stay and work hard, you're a winner. And by working hard I mean create good content and help build this place as it's ours, we're making it.
I'm glad you are still here despite of the price (as you said you depend on Hive). You won't regret it, trust me. There are new opportunities every day and this is just the beginning. The platform is still young.
I know that the effort will pay off in the future. Maybe I'll have to make some sacrifices and tighten up my belt hehe. I do depend heavily on Hive but I have other sources of income and support from my family. My wife is an illustrator, and she has found a great place in Hive to share her work, but she occasionally has commissions outside Hive. And yes, I'm excited about the new opportunities.

I'm here for the long run and seldom pay attention to the price! Building my Hive account and my HE tokens and helping others build is what is important to me.
You are doing great! 👍❤️
I know you are and that's great! Thank you my friend! 🤗😘
