It definitely surprised me. It did hit $27 on the 23rd, so I was optimistic for the 24th. Thought we would see it in the $30's. I ended up loaning all I had at $22. Which is okay with me because I think I averaged about $16 per HXT over the time I was collecting.
But I believe if bitcoin held around the $17000 range, it would of helped HXT. Profit takers were getting BTC while it was cheap.
