Hi All!
My name is Peter, a .NET lead developer from Hungary.
At the end of 2025, I decided to move all of my crypto investments to the HIVE blockchain. I created this account to separate these funds from the others. In this introductory article, I would like to share my story and my investment strategy for the future.
About me
I met with Splinterlands and the HIVE blockchain when I started to play the game in 2021 under the 
Besides the game, I also started trading with cards. A few years ago, I had an idea and started developing SplinterTrends. It's a hobby project that tracks card price changes and shows some trends. I primarily created it for myself to make better trading decisions, but later I made it public for the community. Last year, I introduced my utility and supportive token, TRENDZ.
You can read more about the project here: 
Next to Splinterlands, I have some experience and investments in other HIVE projects:
E.g.
Moving completely to HIVE
At the end of last year, I decided to move all of my crypto investments to the HIVE blockchain. I didn't want to put all of it into just HIVE because of the price volatility. So I created a portfolio that seems to be more stable in the long term.
Everything discussed here is not a financial advisory, just an experience
1st step: Withdrawing everything from Binance
It was an easy step; I converted everything to USDC, then into HIVE.
My initial HIVE balance was 23,800.397 HIVE (2,169.64 USDC)
2nd step: Determining the backbone of my HIVE Portfolio
I decided to have a fixed and a flexible part of my portfolio. The fixed part consists of the following tokens:
| Token | Amount | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| HBD | 1000 | The ultimate stable coin in HIVE |
| SPS | 100,000 | The governance token of the Splinterlands ecosystem |
| DEC | 500,000 | The main transactional currency in the Splinterlands ecosystem |
The remaining HIVE tokens were converted to HIVE Power (~3,300)
3rd step: Converting tokens
At first, I converted all of my HIVE to SWAP.HIVE by using Hive Engine's Deposit function (https://hive-engine.com/). Then, I converted 20% parts to the target tokens. The whole process lasted 5 days. I didn't want to convert everything at once.
HBD
I used BeeSwap to swap SWAP.HIVE to SWAP.HBD, then Hive Engine's Withdraw function. I know that there are other services (e.g., in Keychain), but I had some bad experiences in the past with converting.
SPS
I used BeeSwap to swap SWAP.HIVE to SPS, then transferred to Splinterlands.
DEC
I used BeeSwap to swap SWAP.HIVE to DEC, then transferred to Splinterlands.
HP
I converted back the remaining SWAP.HIVE to HIVE using Hive Engine's Withdraw function. This round trip caused me some loss, but initially, I didn't plan to have HIVE. I powered up on the 1st of January, because every first day is a Hive Power Up Day 😉 (
4th step: Making tokens to work
I decided to have the tokens above, because they can make some income.
HBD
I staked the given HBD. Currently, it pays a 15% interest for a year
SPS
I staked the given SPS in Splinterlands. Currently, it pays a ~7% interest in SPS and VOUCHER tokens. I also delegated the tokens to my player account, so I don't have to rent SPS.
DEC
- I transferred 100k DEC to the SPLTrader pool (https://www.spltrader.com/)
- The remaining amount will be used for my "BECOME A MERCHANT" challenge. An article about this will come soon 😉
Hive Power
I delegated 3300 HP to the
Last step: Investing the income
I designed a flexible part for the portfolio with fixed percentages.
Every Sunday, I will check the new incomes, sell, if necessary, then split them between these items:
Initial state of the portfolio (2026-01-04)
