Hey there!
I am constantly pondering what kind of crypto assets to keep. Clearly, the best coins right now are Bitcoin, Ether, and Hive. But I see a lot of Hivers reports that accumulate HBD. It's also a great option, especially because of the 20% APR. I myself exchange my HBD right away for Hive, especially at the rate I'm at right now. Today I want to close out this issue for myself by writing out my thoughts to see how comfortable I see the situation for myself. Perhaps I'll see comments under this post to adjust my thoughts below. Here we go!
Bitcoin, Ether, Hive.
For me, it's more like Hive, Ether, Bitcoin. Exactly in that order. And not because I spend time here, reading, curating and writing. It's just because of the potential. I still believe that we can show the same wave of growth as Ether did in its day. That is, making 10 X's on Hive is more likely to me than doing the same on Ether at this time. It's the same with Bitcoin. It's also funny to buy Satoshi and Ether for a couple of bucks, although I have those thoughts as well. But for now I'll wait.
Hive and HBD
Like I said, HBD is very attractive with its 20% APR. And also the possibility to buy any assets (not only tokens) when bull market starts. But who knows when it will start? Plus, when it does, will there be a realization that it's not too late to buy? And what to buy.
Second thought, if you hold Hive now, even for two years, the probability of doubling the amount is very high. That's +100% at a Hive price of $1. We've been there before, and I think everyone knows for sure we'll be there again. And HBD will only give you +40% over 2 years. Yes it's more stable, but 2x less, exaggerating all the nuances. Maybe that's why HBD is not as popular outside our chain, even offering great terms. Crypto-enthusiasts keep their assets in different coins, but rarely is it 50% in Stablecoin. I think for them, Bitcoin is stablecoin right now. 😜
Hive
Having traded on the Hive-Engine all the time, playing multiple games and using liquidity pools, it's hard for me to underestimate Hive. I'm up to my ears in it. And the lack of commissions and simple, understandable mechanisms make it comfortable for me to use. In my mind, Hive is still $1, even though it's not. So essentially, I'm overestimating its value at this point. Or is the whole world undervaluing it? I think the latter.
I really understand on the other hand people who don't go deep into crypto and keep HBD, getting their steady interest. Everything is clear here, 1 HBD = $1, you don't need to do a lot of calculations, you don't need to follow the news, no matter where Bitcoin goes. Frees up time to create interesting products on Hive and offline. I'm just a different kind of person and like to dig deeper and deeper to understand more and more. So that's not my path.
Cross it out at the end
I didn't really come up with anything new in these thoughts again. That's exactly how I saw it all in my head. All that's left to add is that there's the thought of urgent money that might be needed. Or thoughts of a protracted bear market that will bury all hope for the future of crypto.
But I already really need some real money, and I've got a job. I'm ready to wait for the next bull market, it seems, for the rest of my life. If that's what it takes. After all, right now I'm doing something I love every day, and it will be hard to disappoint me even if everything collapses. I'll just keep doing it in a different world, with different tools.
The past is behind me, the future is not guaranteed, only today remains. So why not build every day something that will stay with you forever? And that's your skills, mindset and peace of mind. So it may be different for everyone, Hive, HBD or whatever. It's important to understand why and what happens if the unbelievable happens. In any direction of markets, the world or personal life. For me, it's Hive, meditation in motion, gratitude for each day! Irreducible things that move me forward now and will eventually...
Hive On, guys! Hive ON!
