Just a quick update for the community at large:
Major cryptocurrency exchange Bittrex has now activated (as of 3:00pm, USA Pacific time) trading for both the HIVE-BTC and HBD-BTC trading pairs!
Which basically means our "home currency" can now be bought and sold. By extension, if you're among the many who are powering down their Steem to invest and stake in HIVE... this is about to become possible!
Personally, I like Bittrex and have been using their service for trading since 2017.
I also like Bittrex because they were one of the major exchanges that did not engage in Justin Sun's shenanigans by allowing the use of "client trust accounts" to power the so-called "sock puppet witnesses."

As of this moment, trading appears to have started, but the deposit/withdrawal gateway is not yet online. However, I can't imagine it will be very long.
If nothing else, save the links to your bookmarks!

Things are moving very quickly around here, as ongoing improvements to our new home unfold!
