Another amazing post @yaziris!
As you saw firsthand earlier today, I’m learning here haha! I’ve been really confused on the distinction between HBD and Hive merit wise, and I still don’t fully understand of course… but this post helped define some gray areas for me! As Hivians who have been here a long time always tell me, I will read this again in a day…and then again!
I can say that my faith in this platform is very deep already- in my (9?10?) days here I’ve been inspired by many to try and write HTML, to share in curation groups, to be genuine and open in my expression. No social media could compare to what we have here, a dynamic group of creators who love to help each other! The craziest part is even if you are selfish, there’s not much point in it here, it’s not gonna get you an extra slice of the pie from what I can see. This is a ground breaking undertaking in so many ways that pull new users like me in to find a home here!
I’ve thanked you a lot today, but I find myself needing to once more- this post is INSPIRING! I think we will all moon together personally, but if we don’t I know that we will have a great time anyhow!
The easiest way to think about it is as if HBD are US dollars which you can "deposit" to get a "fixed" interest rate on them. While Hive are stock shares in this "company" called Hive. Locking up shares (AKA powering up Hive) generates some extra shares, and gives you more say on how rewards will be distributed, and how the "company" functions.
With that out of the way, if said "company" grows and thrives, its shares become more valuable, and we all benefit from that! 😎
So, basically, we all are working towards the same goal.
But in the end, it's a personal choice on how invested one likes to be, and how comfortable they are with risk taking.
Yes indeed. You'll find this as one of the best advices. Just be yourself! 😉
Pretty sure you will. The people on Hive are mostly amazing, you'll get to meet many, and make awesome friendships. We do have a saying in The Terminal; "Came for the crypto, stayed for the community".
Last but not least, I wish you the best in your journey @grindan. Feel free to reach out if/when you need help or have any questions. You know where to find me! 🙃
