Yesterday I was at work minding my own business when on a short break something told me to check what was happening on Hive and wouldn't you know it ? those inconsiderate Koreans were pumping HBD while I was unable to take advantage of the price action. I guess a few clownish explanations are in order.

Firstly my aim is to buy Hive with my HBD at rate of at least 5 Hive per HBD. I agree that 20% APR in savings is super sweet but not buying Hive when it's cheap will lead to many regrets in the bull market, especially with all the development that will happen until then it's likely Hive will reach new ATHs. But with HBD pumping it doesn't matter if Hive isn't super cheap because if the 5 to 1 ratio is fulfilled then I can buy those shinny Hive tokens in peace. Of course all that depends if the pump is reflected in HBD's price on the internal market ( didn't get the chance to check at the time but it seems that it did) or if it's just on UpBit or whatever exchange our far eastern friends fancy.

I don't use any centralized exchange anymore but I'm sure there was an even better opportunity for those that do: swapping HBD at the top for another actually stable stable-coin. Sure, it's hard to know where the top is blah blah blah, but I imagine some were able to easily double their "stable" holdings without timing the precise peak of the pump.

Secondly and more important: why do Koreans like to troll me and only pump Hive or HBD when I'm at sleep or at work. I'm sure time zones play an important role in this story but puts tin foil hat on there might be some other more nefarious reasons at play.
