I've been asking this question since we were Steem. It is very frustrating! When BTC goes up, Hive goes down. When BTC goes down, Hive goes down further.
I hoped that the constant trickle down would have stopped after we forked, but it's still happening. This shoots down the excuse that we were constantly dropping value because of the top holders selling off millions every week. What is the excuse now?
Very disheartening. There is no Steemit/Ned to blame. I suppose the answer is there is no good reason to stake.
A few Angry Whales with a chip on their shoulder and tons of Hive just go around downvoting very good and kind people to zero. They laugh at the devestation on Discord.
Why would you Stake agree! Hardly 10% apy on curation(it's like 100% on blurt). Downvoting(good luck bringing users)--- (promised SMT for years)--- It's been like 6 months since Hive started and the latest HF did nothing in fact it broke a lot of things.
I watch Trending and whale downvoting wars make hive look bad. Downvotes destroyed hive. Day after day after day whales attack every one.
They attack me, everyone, and everyone else. It's SAD!!! The token price keeps sinking, while BLURT goes up 100% in the past week, and it's just starting to pump LOL.
Every time Bitcoin goes up the Whales sell their Hive to buy Bitcoin.
