When Hive Dollars (HBD)?
A valid question we keep asking is when Binance would list the oldest algo-stable coin minted on the Hive blockchain. The Hive Backed Dollar (HBD) is a stablecoin that is resident on the base layer of the Hive blockchain. It is categorized as an algorithmic stablecoin in that it does not keep a reserve like many other tokens in this category. Instead, each HBD is can be converted into $1 worth of HIVE.
Saving HBD pays 20% APY, the highest ever obtainable for cryptocurrencies in its category. Unlike other stablecoins, HBD can be earned through social activities and this provides a level playing ground for everyone who ever wants to have a stablecoin in his/her portfolio.
Many say we've not had enough marketing but I think, we're just lagging with adding more use cases for our precious Hive Dollars. The ecommerce industry is still very open for more integration of stablecoins. Thanks to Sucre Venezuela that has shown the possibility of utilizing HBD in day to day commercial activities.
I am certain that ignoring HBD would not be for long. Can't wait to see HBD listed on top exchanges like Binance.
