Why would anyone invest in Hive when you can simply get HBD, lock it up, and get an easy 20% every year?
I think the answer is to post, game, delegate, etc. Hive's volatility makes it unappealing from a strictly investment perspective, but I keep growing my stake slowly with earnings from delegation, so I have more to delegate. Taking advantage of the 20% APR from HBD, however, keeps me dropping more money on chain. I also think it's the hottest thing we have going for anyone interested in crypto solely for the purpose of investing. Play2Earn gaming has plenty going for it, but I've encountered virtually no one who is interested in breaking into crypto by spending thousands of dollars on a single game and still play in the bottom tiers.
I had more to say but I'm getting a bad case of the weed brain and need to fuck off, get my bearings, and re-read this to figure out wtf it was. Until next time...
