RE: Will Hive Power Become Deflationary?

in LeoFinance3 years ago

I might be misunderstanding the situation, but I would have thought that Hive sold wouldn't be included in these statistics, since that Hive still exists (just on a different wallet or exchange). I thought we were saying that less Hive existed everywhere at the end of the year.

Sort:  

If you sell on hive engine, it's being converted to hbd, which would make it disappear -as opposed to doing it on an exchange

I think!... I'm just a dumb nerd definitely not a techie Blockchain guru

So if you bought ten hive at ten cents for a dollar and sold all at 1.00 ... Then you made 9 dollars and burned\converted to hbd. Now u have 10hbd. If price goes to 2$, now you can only buy 5 hive with that ten

I don't think that's correct.
I could totally be wrong, but I think Hive-Engine just connects buyers and sellers. So if you sell Hive on Hive-Engine, it's not being converted to HBD, it's being sold to another person who wants to buy Hive.

Ok, yes, that makes sense too- just exchanging hive for hbd, so it's not really going anywhere.. Perhaps it's when people convert it I was thinking of-i still think it has to do with the increase in value somewhere
