Do you really think it is people buying because they want to receive as much as they can of the Hive airdrop? You Know Justin Sun bought ten million dollars worth of Steem and it didn't pump as much, at least not so quickly. Have you ever thought it might be Justin buying so he can have a huge amount of Hive?
I hope he does. He will be heavily invested in both chains (much less so in Hive) and have the incentive to build both. I hold both.
Maybe, but he would have a big voice in Hive too. I expect to hold both too, with the small amount of Steem I have and if I do get the airdrop a small amount of Hive and I don't see why I should sell either, at least not until I know where things are going. Hive will be completely new territory, so it is a risk to put all the eggs there, and I really would like to see both chains propser.
Nothing wrong with a big voice.
Well he wouldnt be able to put his people as witnesses but he would have a big say in who is a top 20 witness. I wonder if @freedom will get the airdrop?
I am guessing freedom will, since it isn't a Stinc account - otherwise it would have voted on the sockpuppet witnesses.
