Hi Hive,
It's another beautiful day on #indiaunited community to share my opinion about this week contest prompt regarding my own take on the use of HBD on hive ecosystem. Click here to take part
I have come to understand one thing about Hive is that HBD is not just another token sitting in your wallet but it’s a tool. A flexible asset that reflects your mindset, your strategy, and ultimately your long-term vision on the hive blockchain.
It seems everyone have their different approach when it comes to their assets on the hive blockchain. Some people treat HBD like a digital savings account, carefully stacking it to earn interest over time which is very good and it's a true definition of let's your money work for you while sleeping. Others prefer to keep it liquid, using it actively for transactions, investments, or even daily needs within the ecosystem. Then there are those who constantly convert it into HIVE, chasing growth and positioning themselves for future upside.
For me, my approach to the use ofHBD has been quite clear over time as I heavily lean towards converting my HBD into HIVE.
The reason why is because I see HIVE as the engine of growth.
Each time I receive payouts, my instinct has always been to convert it into hive liquid and use use to solve real life challenges and using part of it to build my Hive Power, strengthen my stake, and increase my influence on the platform. Converting HBD to HIVE go hand in hand with that goal. It’s not just about immediate value, it’s about long-term positioning and also solving real life situations. The more HIVE I accumulate, the more I can help my life, participate, support others, and grow within the ecosystem.
That been said, I won’t overlooked the value of HBD savings as I witnessed a ridiculous amount of return people earn with through HBD savings monthly. The idea of earning passive interest is definitely attractive, but it has never been the primary focus for me. If I ever decide to commit to saving HBD, then it won’t be in small, inconsistent amounts. Because for me, I believe for HBD savings to truly make sense, then it has to be intentional and substantial.
I’m talking about building it to a level where the returns are actually meaningful, something that makes you pause and say, “Yes, this is working.” Not just small interest that feels insignificant, but something that justifies the patience without stress.
And that’s where my weekly payouts come into play. My decision to save HBD will heavily depend on consistency. If my earnings rise to a certain point where I can comfortably split between supporting myself by solving real life situations, powering up and saving, then I’ll definitely take advantage of the savings feature.
Until then, my strategy remains so simple, and which is to convert, solve real life issues, accumulate, and grow my HIVE stake.
At the end of the day, there is no single “right” way to use HBD. But it all comes down to your goals, your patience level, and how you see your future on Hive ecosystem.
For me, it’s about solving real life first and maybe, strategic saving later.
So the real question remains:
What does your HBD strategy say about you?
