I for one hope it does not go up, at least not until two thursdays from now. Then I will be fully divested of steem, and powered up to hive. The lower the price for me right now the better, along with being able to get more for hive for my steem, I will also have the next two weeks to fully take advantage of the delegation, and that has doubled my curation with out any real extra steps on my part to increase it.
After that, then yes a nice steady rise. It has been some time since we have seen less than 20 cents for hive, it seems to be hovering around the 22.5 cent range, next step 25 cents range, which it seems to be hanging at now, then following thursday, (the 18th) it can jump to 35 cents. Because I hope to be at Dolphin level then.
Have you noticed the difference? :)
I don't mind some low priced Hive, I also wouldn't mind some high priced HBD :)
Oh yes my curation has definitely doubled with the delegation, the delegation pretty much doubled the amount of hive I had, so when the delegation is over, my curation should stay about 50% higher than it was pre-delegation, that is still to be seen however.
Yes higher HBD means I can buy more Hive. I am still doing the conversion route instead of buy direct, I did a couple of checks and I did get a tiny bit more hive through the conversion process than the market direct buy. But as you said, every tiny bit helps.
