I have been posting these reports since the beginning of interests. I haven’t heard any complaints or concerns yet. My savings are included in the list as well. I don’t see a problem. I would gladly redact names/wallets if anyone doesn’t like to be in the list.
Main reason of these posts has been to keep track of the progress in HBD adoption and choosing HBD as investment. Some find it useful.
I agree Hive wallets lack privacy features. This is the case with most open and transparent networks. I doubt anything will change in layer one. But privacy features can be built in layer 2 applications.
As you have suggested there are ways of keeping funds private, alt accounts. Not only they won’t be associated with social profiles, but may actually provide more security.
HBD interest payments are newly minted coins, additional inflation, and no coins are burnt to create them.
If you happen to know, how does one obtain a substantial amount of HBD at one time? Hive-Engine or Blocktrades? Despite being designed as a stable coin, it recently dipped about 10% or so. Could larger transactions move the price? Same goes for selling HBD if people want to exit a larger position.
I haven’t bought or sold hive/hbd in a while. I know there aren’t many options in the US anymore. To get more HBD I would buy Hive on an exchange then buy HBD in internal market or convet Hive to HBD. Converting has 5% fee though.
