Ahh ok so HBD is supposed to be a stable coin...
I asked about HBD the other day... I actually asked the same thing twice then, without knowing hehehe
It's much clearer now, thanks

But HBD isn't fulfilling it's purpose . It has been there since forever and I don't think it was at 1$ for more than 2 days lol . People sometimes feel happy if HBD reaches 1.5$ or more but they don't know it's bad for the whole concept of stable coin.

Yea and HBD has been at $1.5 for over a day already. It might be of been fine around $1.10-$1.20 but its like nothing can push it back down.

Yeah, it's at $1.44 right now. When it started pumping, I recall thinking back on the old blockchain site: "Isn't this supposed to be around a buck?" I thought it was.

Lol I wasn't on the old block chain but I honestly don't mind a pump now and then as long as prices correct in a timely manner. But HBD hasn't been anywhere near $1 lately so I feel like its doing the job of a stablecoin. As much as I don't mind a huge pump in HBD to exchange out for some cheap HIVE, it's kind of ridiculous if prices are unable to correct properly.

Well SBD is insane when compared to HBD , we can see it often go upto 5-6$ and some steemit people lose their mind and praise it like it is BTC but they don't actually know what SBD is and what is its purpose .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Lol yes . Only those who don't understand the concept of HBD will be happy to see it at that price .
I wish we can somehow fix it so that it remains around 1$ itself , it will help Hive indirectly because people like to deal with Stable coins .

Yup seems like people are interested in HBD more than hive . I don't know why HBD price pumps , it should be lesser than 1$ ideally unless people love the 3% interest it provides.

Yea the original HBD stabilization fund set it to drop the price of HBD until it was $1 or less. If HBD is less than $1 then you are getting it for a bargain. However if its above, then the peg isn't doing its job because there are less things to help HBD when its overpriced. I though adding interest would help stabilize HBD but it didn't.

As content creators, I think we want to see it do better to maybe $4 or $5.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well yeah content creators will be happy but it is not good for Hive since HBD is supposed to be at 1$ .

No it hasnt fulfilled its promise.
We are seeing some selling to help affect the price downward and also changes in the tokenomics at the chain levels are being discussed.
Blocktrades put out a post about it.
If you didn't see it, here it is:

Yeah I checked it out , I don't think it is the ideal way because as Hive price increases they will need more and more payouts from the post I guess to buy Hive and sell HBD to bring it down to a dollar.

Is a stable HBD a necessity for liquidity pools if Hive ever decides to go that route?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I don't think it is. We see it fluctuating on recent times. Look at SBD doing a ride to $7 and more. We may likely see HBD hit $4 soon.

I think it was there or almost there for a few hours a month or two ago. I don't mind if it gets up there as I will be exchanging all my HBD into HIVE.

The key word is suppose to be. It has failed.
That is why there are now efforts underway to get that operating as intended. We will see the effect they have.

Hopefully they help to actually make it stable
