RE: The HBD Balance In Savings Keeps On Growing | More Than One Million Paid In Interest | A Look At The Data In HBD Savings

in LeoFinance2 years ago

I've been trying to decide whether to support the current rate and noticed that you have set it at 15%

I don't know whether you set it at 20% before, but I'd be interested to hear what the rationale is for 15 instead of 20.

Sort:  

I set it at 20% and advocated for others to do the same when UST was paying 20%. I felt it was important to be competitive in the DeFi space at least on a temporary promotional basis even though everyone should recognize that 20% is not sustainable indefinitely if there is too much demand (we're able to afford it on a small total saving balance as long as uptake remains low due to hardly anyone knowing about it).

Once UST collapsed, it was no longer necessary to pay 20% to be competitive. IMO 15% is still a very attractive return, better than just about everything if not everything else, and saves us a bit of expense on interest. But the 5% difference is not large, so I haven't really pushed for a reduction. The 15% is just my opinion.

Thank you for your explanation.

I agree, 15% is still a competitive rate, and I have mentioned elsewhere that I think between 12% and 15% is something I would be more comfortable with supporting.

Just some context:

As a larger HP holder, these are my personal thoughts.
