I've actually been doing the same. I recently converted my HBD into Hive when it was at $0.17 and have quite a nice stake. I was mainly using Hive.vote to vote on a large number of Hivers. I still have configured hive.vote, but only from 90-100% so I don't waste my HP when I can't be active for a while.
I'm using my stake to upvote more posts, comments and indeed the new Snaps! I've already discovered some new interesting people to follow in the past two weeks!
Nice!
