Good analysis, Gene. I bought a lot at .27, and I'll be buying more soon. I do believe in Hive. I keep reading that we are safe for HBD until or unless Hive falls to .07, at which time the interest on HBD would stop. But I think that is based on the haircut rule—I don't know how the account selling or buying Hive to maintain that peg would affect things.
It is interesting that Steem is also doing similar things. It could be manipulation.
The last two minutes of your vlog went blank. Not sure if it is just on my end. Anyway, keep it up. Always enjoy listening to your thoughts.
