I'm using the Keychain extension and while I sent HIVE with it a couple of days ago I don't know why this time around it didn't work - no error either. Anyways, I know times are hard, and I'm genuinely glad to hear that you're ready for rocky times.
As far as STEEM goes, I think the sooner you move it into Bitcoin, the better. HIVE can wait, just my honest opinion. Take care man, and wish you all the best!
Thank you. You, too. And thanks for the crypto advice, too. :)
