It's because the price is coming in from the price feed, so as the price fluctuates on exchanges, the USD equivalent of the amount of HIVE you're being awarded changes. You still are getting the same amount of HIVE/HBD/HP. The USD translation is the only thing actually fluctuating.
See my HIVE Getting Started video tutorial for more on this and other "what's going on here?" topics.
Thanks for the link! So if the price of Hive goes up those earnings will go back up depending on the price as well... And we did nothing wrong by upvoting the posts. It’s just that yesterday I thought it was some kind of glitch in the system or maybe I pressed the wrong button... 🙂
I thought it only happened to posts older as one day or so. I am happy I am not the only one who noticed it although it doesn't make sense to me.
Btw I do not see a link. Can I have it too? Thanks 💕
It's not a glitch and you did nothing wrong. It just so happens that in the space of time between when you last loaded the page and when you clicked to upvote the price of HIVE (in USD) changed on exchanges. So the witness price feeds changed with it. Again, do watch the video lesson where this is covered in detail with screen capture.
So what we see change is the price in USD not on Hive?
Thanks for answering/explaining. How/where can I see your video? I am answering replies via @esteemapp and do not see a link.
I wish you a great weekend. 💕
