Newbie Post 101 Donut Wisdom for 27 May 2020

Here you are touching at the very important ingreedients of this whole journey and it might be a bit complicated at first but you will get it ;-)

• You have liquid Hive. This can be transfered without problems.
• You have Hive Power. This is liquid Hive that has been staked, also called powered up. This will be blocked as long as you haven't powered it down (which takes 13 weeks to transform in liquid Hive again). Why power up? When you power up Hive you get Hive Power. This gives weight to your account and ressource credits. You can do more stuff like posting, commenting and voting if you have these ressource credits. At the same time your upvotes carry more value if you power up.

I've created an online course about Hive to understand the basics. Maybe you can take a look: https://www.ref-hunters.ch/team/member/course/introduction-to-hive/

• Hive Dollar is a second currency on the hive blockchain that is pegged to the value of 1 USD. It will fluctuate but there are some mecanismes in the chain that try to keep the parity.

• Hive Power Delegation: When you have Hive Power you can delegate it to another account. This means that the one who gets the delegation gets more voting power and also more ressource credits but the delegator can cancell the delegation at any time.

To start I would suggest that you power up some of your liquid Hive. In your account you only have 3.5 Hive Power and you need about 20 Hive Power to have an opperational account.

When posting you can choose 50/50 -> 50% Hive Power and 50% liquid Hive or HBD or you can choose 100% Hive Power.

Hope this Helps ;-)
