Because Pump doesn't last long, some sell everything, while staked HIVE takes about 3 months to become liquid. So there is no way of knowing if it fell because it was a Pump and Dump, or because some holders sold and the price dropped.

I understand the logic, it makes sense. I don't usually make trades or anything like that, I just post, vote and comment on people's snaps or posts. I just prefer the low value hive so I can build up HP.

that's just typical human foolishness and greed. It's a certain type of people, and there's nothing you can do about it. They want to earn from staking, and sell immediately during a pump. If you want to sell, just power down in advance, and there won't be any problems.
