As usual you have inspired me to move on something I have been wanting to do for over a year now.
I just had a discussion with the keeper of the keys. No no, not the Hive Keychain app. My @pooky-jax
We talked about Hive and it's importance to us. The plan going forward is a minimum $10 (usd) a week invest.
I will most likely do it bi-weekly at $25 unless there are mechanical issues or some other unplanned business costs. This week for example we are still shy by $300 of making the budget due to a yearly tax (Fed Gov Extortion) of a Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT) fee. $550 annually on top of the highway use taxes We pay every mile in the form of a fuel tax on every gallon used. (Double sometimes triple tax extortion here)
I will be using my bitcoin (sats) thru the v4v app that you can see in my wallet transaction a few minutes ago. I will use the sats (BTC) when our failing garbage usd fiat currency is not covering the budget like this week. Good discussion with my Pooky and she is onboard with giving back what we took (powered down) from Hive in 2021-22. Using some bitcoin if necessary only makes sense as the power downs were to dabble in crypto coins back then.
Your feedback and advice on this would be appreciated. Also is it a good practice to use the HBD converted to Hive to Power Up.?
Thanks Bro. ❤️
This is good to hear and if you can spare it, and want to do it then follow your plan. I left an image in another comment in this post of the last few days of my curation (the right side column in the image) as an example of how stake can really start to work passively just by voting on posts and comments. (I love voting on comments, more than 0.03 each time, nothing below, and usually much more. Good curation.
Anyway, when Hive is low I swap out HBD into Hive and power up and when it's not low I hang on to HBD (or get impatient and swap it for Hive). It's helped build stake and that helps with vote value and curation. It all seems straightforward to me. I never wait for the power up day thing to power up either, I do it when the Hive is in my wallet, daily mostly.
