Hello Everyone,

Happy Easter - we have beautiful weather in England for the holiday weekend, brilliant sunshine and so warm. Do you have any plans for the Spring festival?

We have a couple of Easter giveaways this week:

HBD Giveaway - Will HBD interest change your savings plans?

Everyone must know the news that the interest on HBD has increased to 20%, right?
Are you excited? Will it change your savings plans? If not, why not? Leave us a comment below with your views for a chance to win HBD.

SPI Giveaway - Funny Money

Last week, @bearmol, long-time member of Saturday Savers Club, made a post with some jokes about money. You can read it here.

This was my favourite:

The Collaborators
What did one penny say to the other?
"Let's get together and make some cents."

Do you know any jokes about money? Tell us in the comments below for a chance to win SPI.

LARYNX - Have You Claimed Your Airdrop?

The LARYNX airdrop continues for the next ten months - remember to claim each month. Check how to do it in this post. You can do this automatically using Hivesigner. Are you holding or selling your LARYNX? Tell us your plans in the comments below.

Build your EDS Stack - Changes to EDSM purchases

There have been a few technical problems with automated payments for EDSM so these have have stopped for now. You can still buy EDSM in the market, there are just over 100 left listed now.

EDS and EDSM Queries

The quickest way to get any queries about payments resolved is to post a message in the #eddie-earner channel of the SPinvest discord: https://discord.gg/njDb8Gnh and tag @silverstackeruk. Most problems that happen are technical bugs and are quickly resolved once we know about them. Housekeeping for @eddie-earner, EDS and EDSM is usually done on Monday UTC.

365 Day Savings Challenge

It's Week 16 on our savings plan and we've added and powered up 7.21 HIVE to @susie-savings wallet - we're up to 56.71 HIVE already plus curation rewards! 🤑

Everyone went into the WheelofNames and we have two winners: @nathen007 and @phoenixwren - hurrah! check your wallets.

I am very happy about the increase of HBD interest! Since I'm putting in as much as I can anyway into savings, it doesn't really change my plans, but maybe it means I can reach my goal for the keyboard sooner and then keep saving past that.
Money joke!
If I had a dollar for every existential crisis I've had, it wouldn't matter because money is a social construct and everything is meaningless.

Yes, the increase really works well for everyone and especially if you were already saving! It would be great to build your emergency fund (or your next savings goal), too.

Haha, I like that money joke, bittersweet for when you have no money 😂

I'm happy also on the increase of HBD interst. I added an additional amount to my weekly savings. Plan to do this as I get more HBD. Hope you can get that keyboard soon. Please show us the unveil!

Take care.

Increase of HBD interest is good. It's a way to attract attention onto the new ecosystem I was reading just a few hours ago, on how Hive ecosystem can create a pool of BTC to back HBD interests.
It's a great initiative and I feel that Hive Blog has great potential to attract many more users, many more capitals and many more projects to be integrated here.

It's just a few months I write here, and my target is take part into PUD and UM every months, with constant publications, trying to make my profile getting hit from more and more readers (and hopefully curators too).
So besides all, I feel that I simply keep pushing, interacting with interesting people, networking and creating opportunities. The development of my Hive profile will simply be a consequence.

Thanks for this post! I found it very Stimulating!

The increase in HBD rates is really a huge thing. You know, the rates are actually better than those of banks and financially institutions. At this rate, it might really start to be a game changer for the finance industry!

I was quite happy to see the savings interest rate go up and I put an extra 50 HBD into my savings. Adding in some extra funds into there won't hurt.

The HBD APR is a huge deal for Hive, and can bring lots of new users and investors to the blockchain. I personally won't be using it as I prefer to convert all my HBD into Hive, as I'm wanting to invest more and more on Hive itself :P

HBD has changed my savings plan some. Adding to my HBD holdings in savings is a no brainer at 20% interest you cannot beat it. I have put index on the back burner for now and will be getting more HBD instead. I hope to have a about 70 something HBD now and want to get a few hundred more which I think for me is a good goal.

As for my savings I have been buying SPI tokens CL tokens and EDS tokens when folks are selling for cheap which for some reason they still do (great for me)

I have claimed the 2 LARYNX airdrops so far and will as long as you keep that notice up
in your weekly posts (the only way I remember) and for now I am just letting them sit and after the air drop is over I will decide what to do with them.

Hope all are having a great Easter weekend.

It almost gardening season so I will be starting my seeds indoors this week.

Have a great week all

Hello everyone. Happy Easter.

Here's my progress report for week 16:
https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@justclickindiva/week-16-taking-advantage-of-the-increased-interest-rate-on-hbd-or-2022-saturday-savers-club


I already claimed my April LARYNX Token Airdrop. I intend to hold them long term to see how the project evolves.


HDB Savings interest increase to 20%. I'm super happy about this turn of events. I already transferred an additional amount this this week into my savings.


EDSM. I discontinued my automated purchase and went directly to the market.


Congratulations to @nathen007 and @phoenixwren for your wins in the Wheel of Names for comments.


On Money Joke. My hubby and I heard this one and just brings cracks us up over exchanging money via check.

Man tells his wife to give him all his money at death. He says he's given her and everyone else what he wants them to have and desires to take the remaining with him. She makes arrangements for his burial, writes a check payable to him, then instructs the funeral director to place it in his coffin in his pocket. Puzzled the funeral director hesitates, then asks her to explain. Her response, "this is his life savings he wanted to take with him. I hope he can find a bank to cash it.


Have a good Easter weekend everyone. Take care, and stay safe.

A wonderful week filled with blessings! Amazing news about the HBD 20% savings interest, hive truly handles all my needs with crypto. In response to this, I have decided to take advantage of the new service setup by the oneup cartel, its the first bridge I am aware of for swap.hbd/hbd INFORMATION POST HBD BRIDGE. So my target is when hive is above 2 usd, I can buy 2 swap.hbd for every 1 hive, or swap against tribaldex liquidity pool, and be able to bridge that right into my savings, for low fees. The fees go down as you own more CARTEL tokens. 100 tokens, 0% fees for 50 a day.

Heres my post for the week, it has a lot of info and analysis I reccomend it for people interested in Hive and SPS!!!

The cartel allows you to swap HIVE for HBD with low exchange fees, is that correct?

no, there are 2 bridges one for Swap.hive and hive between hive engine and hive key chain.

The hbd is first im aware of, allowing you to move hbd from hive keychain into swap.hbd in hive engine, and vise versa.

What is the benefit?

how else would you acquire the hbd? the easiest way is converting hive to hbd in the hive keychain as pictured below.

4.17 hbd conversion.png

As you can see using this method, you will lose 5% of the value of your hive, and also half of the value of HBD will be held for 3.5 days and if the price of hive drops significantly for example, you would get a lot less HBD compared to if you had done the whole swap before the price fluctuation. Does that make sense?

I have achieved my savings goals for one more week and yes of course the new interest will give my savings a boost. I will not change anything, I just hope that I can buy a better coffee maker.

This week I managed to save $7.28 and I'm already at $57 really happy.

Happy easter all, enjoying the weather here in Netherlands as well. Nice weekend away with family at Zwier. Tiny house next to a harbor lots of green and delicious food. It's funny how tired you can feel just when you allow yourself to relax a bit so was much needed!

As for HBD the 20% is great but it doesn't change my plans a lot. Was already slowly building that part and when anything is gonna take of I will be looking to take a bit of profit and put that to HBD savings. I also don't expect it to stay at 20% indefinitely but who knows I'm no Nostradamus. If anything I was happy with 12% and if locking mechanisms ever become a thing with higher APR I'll gladly make use of those. Love forcing a hold and have a bit of extra security too that way!

Too bad the automated purchase for EDSM didn't work out. Might look to buy directly from market but also want to increase the hive power a bit more

thanks it was great, and a break from work soon too (next week and one after) so a lot of time to work the garden and enjoy the weather. Can't wait

And for sure, I'll happily take the 20% or anything between 5-20 actually (or more of course although I'd get real worried about the sustainability of it all.

Hello @riandeuk. I had a good Easter. I understand feeling tired when you allow yourself to relax. I was sad also the automated EDSM didn't work. However, I'm purchasing directly from the market. Hope to be able to add more soon before they're all gone.

Have a good rest of your week.

It's just some fun we have each week. The weekly giveaways were mainly funded by a couple of large votes by @ocd at the beginning of the year and that keeps us going and helps to spread the love (and distribute some excellent tokens). It's not really a contest, just everyone who comments goes into the wheel of names and two winners come out. I guess it's like a free raffle or lottery.

The support has really built up this year, lots more people are concerned about saving. We share some good tips 😍
