This post is not financial advice.
In case you missed the announcement , players can now earn free HSBI units for staking CCD.
100k staked-You can claim once a month
500k staked-You can claim twice a week
1 million staked- You can claim every day
This is phenomenal. I really hope this is sustainable long term as I think it's a fantastic feature.
Currently I am at the 500k staked level. It is going to be a bit pricy to get to 1 million. If you are wondering if I will do that the answer is yes, but not yet.
As of this post I am earning around 420 CCD through HP delegations. This is enough for me to get the max vote offered every 2 days. I want to increase that to every day. I don't quite have to double my HP delegation in order to do that. That's because of the discount system. the more I delegate (up to a limit) the higher discount I earn. I estimate I will need about 8-900 more HP delegated to earn enough tokens to use the vote service at the max offered everyday.
I don't post everyday but it's still a good goal for me because I do have multiple accounts. Also any excess CCD can be staked and that's less I have to buy.
One of my long term goals is to increase my HP anyway. This is just adding a bit more motivation. I am starting to convert some of the HBD I earn to increase my HP a little faster. I will also likely deposit some crypto from some of the other programs I use to earn to build up my HP.
I may start hyper compounding into the liquidity pools as well. Here's an example of what I mean.
Let's say I have 1000 CCD I can sell half for swap.hive (or atx )and put it into the liquidity pools. I can just pair it with swap.hive if I have it on hand too but this technique there is minimal risk of loss because 1) I earned the tokens for free by delegating. 2) I am not risking any swap.hive if I sell half the CCD and pair it. I will likely do both techniques. Sometimes I will just pair it, other times I will sell half and pair it. It all depends on how much swap.hive I have and what I feel like doing that day.
I want to try to do this once a week and slowly build up my balance in the liquidity pools.
If you want a deeper dive on how to make earnings with CCD and how to use the liquidity pools (in general but can be CCD themed) please let me know on the comments. I am planning on doing a general liquidity pool tutorial for people who have no funds. I plan to show folks how they can get started in various liquidity pools here on Hive for no out of pocket cost. It won't make you rich, but it will teach you how to leverage resources. That's the goal anyway. If that content interests you you may want to follow this account.
