HBD is the backbone of the Hive economy.
HIVE being a native coin might be the default engine of it. But a stablecoin with a decent APR of 15% is the hedge against the volatility, and fluctuation and offers a healthy margin to maneuver.
As you said HBD is truly a decentralized stablecoin vis-a-vis USDT(a centralized stablecoin). In time, the crypto community will realize the importance of decentralized protocol-based stablecoins.
The internal market also is a kind of hedge against inflation to some extent.
Thank you.
