I was in my office yesterday when someone came around to do some stuff. However, I noticed that he intermittently opened a chart on his phone and was looking keenly. Since I was a bit distant, I wouldn't know if it was a forex or crypto market chart. So after a while, he wanted to leave, so out of curiosity, I asked him if he trades the forex market or cryptocurrency. He smiled and said that he trades both the cryptocurrency and the foreign exchange market. I was happy that he opened up to me even as a stranger that I was. In that case, I wanted to know how long he's been trading and his experiences so far.
As usual, he opened up to me on his journey trading forex and cryptocurrencies. In the course of our discussion, he mentioned four coins he recommends for me to buy and keep because they have the potential to add value in the future. As he was saying all of this, I acted as a complete novice to get more information. Moreover, I insisted on how he gets to know that those coins will add value in the future. He responded that based on the market structure and what lots of people are saying about it. That was surprising to me. After some minutes of discussion, I realised that he does not actually know more about the cryptocurrency market.
Therefore, I decided to ask him if he knows anything about #hive and #HBD. He was lost; he said he had never come across anything like it. I was happy because it was an avenue for me to talk to him about the Hive blockchain. “Please tell me more about it” he said. “Hive blockchain is a Web3 platform where users earn #hive and #hbd as native coins by engaging in the community,” I said. I noticed that he was lost. “Break it down a little” he insisted.
“What happened in Hive is that you make a digital coin called hive and hbd when you create content of any kind”
“What is hbd”? he interrupted
“HBD means hive-backed dollar”, I responded politely.
“Thank you very much” he appreciated. “Before we continue, I'd love to know more about the HBD and what makes it different from other cryptocurrencies”, he insisted.
“There are whole lots of differences between Hbd and other coins in the market, like I said earlier”, I continued “, hbd is a native coin of the Hive blockchain. It is a stable coin that is pegged at $1. It's not like other coins that keep rising and falling, giving heartbreak to users. So the market forces and gimmicks of the big boys do not in any way affect hbd. Nobody can influence it since it is not owned or controlled by any individuals or organisations”. While saying this, I noticed that he was nodding his head, meaning that he was grasping what I was saying. “Also”, I continued, “it doesn't require KYC or any protocol to be able to own it like other crypto platforms. “You can't be serious,” he said. He told me how he lost a huge amount of coins because he couldn't pass a KYC
“Can I ask you a question?” I requested
“Go ahead,” he said.
“Okay” “have you paid for any goods or services using any coin before?”
He lifted up his brows and looked at me in surprise. “With HBD you can buy anything from a shop that accepts it,” I told him. He wanted to exclaim, but I told him to calm down, that people are watching us. I had to give him the address of some stores in my area that accept hbd as a means of payment.
I wanted to add more when he interrupted me and asked about transaction fees. I told him that there are no transaction fees whatsoever whenever you want to make transfers or swap to other coins.
I was about to leave when I remembered that hbd can be traded on major exchanges like #upbit. “Remember also that you can earn about 15% APR for staking your hbd”
“That's amazing,” he said. This is quite different from other coins that I know” he added. “So how do I get started?”
“It's simple”, I said. That's how I put him through and he left my office happy.
