The million-dollar question that has been asked every single day from the beginning of 2025 is... Wen altcoin season? Wen HIVE to the moon? Recently, we received some additional variations of those questions, which introduce some doubt, such as... Will we have an altcoin season this year/bull run? Usually, when doubt comes, it's a good sign... Much better than when everyone is expecting the SAME thing happening, at the SAME time...

I'm not an expert, but there is a pattern happening in every market cycle... Those are the "risk on and risk off" periods... When we are in the "risk off" period of a market cycle, everyone is more cautious, and investors "pick their bets" much more carefully, as every dollar counts, and the future is very much uncertain... When we are in the "risk on" period, investors are throwing money left and right, going up on the risk curve, investing in shady and riskier stuff, searching for bigger gain... Nobody looks at pennies, but in millions...
If we look at crypto markets separately, we have something similar happening in crypto... When we are risk-off, everybody runs to stablecoins and Bitcoin, but when we are in the risk-on, people go toward the "riskier tokens"... Firstly, Top20 token, then going further spreading to Top100, and in the final stage, most token is considered for investing, or speculating... This year, most of the time, Bitcoin was the only one that had its bull run, while some other tokens had some nice moves up, but nothing too special... Some of the top tokens moved up, but if we go lower in the CMC ranking, not much happened...
Personally, I changed my opinion about risk-on and risk-off tokens, and assets in general... What I considered risk-off in the past became very risky today, and vice versa... Today, I got in my hand a small brochure with real estate offers in my area, which made me think... After the real estate crisis in 2008, the market had deflation, which was more stagflation to be honest... Prices didn't go up like crazy, but rather down for 2-4 years, but after that, the prices continued to go up...
So, if we look at that period 2008-2012, that was probably the best moment to buy a real estate (if you had money)... I remember looking at some apartments in those days... They were ridiculously cheap... Real estate in those moments (after the crash), in my opinion, was the RISK-ON market... The bottom was there, almost no risk if you invest in any real estate... But... We had another "small" (rather big) bump on the road in 2019-2020... The C19 crisis changed my view regarding real estate...
For example, while I was checking the small RE brochure, I got a reminder about the fact that not ALL real estate went up in price... The commercial real estate is still in a huge crisis... As of C19, many businesses moved online, and commercial real estate prices have been constantly going down in the last 4-5 years... At least in my area... What did that show me? Well, not ALL real estate is a haven for investing, and something that was considered a SAFE BET can change into a risky thing...
I could continue with the list of things that are riskier than they were in the past... Fiat money is the first thing that comes to my mind, but let's leave it here... What changed in your point of view? What do you consider a safe bet today that wasn't like that before?
Let's see the WorkerBee Pool numbers for this week...
This week, we have mined 88 BEE tokens in total, the same number as the week before!
This week, we lost a delegator, but on the other side, we got new delegations from old members, as usual! Thanks, guys! Appreciate your support!
This POOL doesn't have fees, and you get up to 20% MORE by delegating to it!
What about the bonus tokens?
This time, I will distribute LEO tokens as a bonus reward to you guys... After that huge price pump in mid-August, we had a big drop to 0.5-0.6 HIVE... After a bumpy August, from early September, the price began to climb up to the right almost all the time... At the moment, it is around 0.73 HIVE, and we will see where it will go... Maybe it can reach 1 HIVE by the end of 2025? It was 1.25 in mid-August, so it can be done...
There will be distributed 12 LEO tokens to the delegators of the pool as a bonus reward today!
12 LEO tokens will be distributed as a bonus... The APR (without the bonus) was 9.922%, and when we added the bonus, it went up to 11.982%!
I have calculated the ROI approximately with medium prices for all tokens when creating this post... So, those numbers are valid if you bought WB and sold BEE tokens at the middle HiveEngine price...
