▶️ Watch on 3Speak

On Hive you have several passive income opportunities. Among others, you can stake Hive and get curation rewards or you can put HBD into your savings account and get monthly interests for it.

What is your choice? Do you rather power up your hive or put your HBD into savings? Or maybe you do something totally different...

I prefer to go with hive power. HBD is not bad but still HP is better because with this I can support many authors.

That's a very valid reason! I like to delegate some of my HivePower, but I try to keep a decent amount just because of curating others...

I like your way of thinking... I do exactly the same... 95% goes to "real crypto", like HIVE, and the small % to stable coins for "just in case" and for paying daily stuff... ;)

yes exactly. but a small amount of hive dollar can save you for having to sell the crypto on a bad day with bad courses when you need the money.

I currently power up 10 hive per month for Hive power up day. This helps to slowly grow my hive power which allows me to vote on various different post. Since I am still low on hive power everything is focused at that point. I am a ways from getting above the dust level of 2 cents which would make the apr more reachable in hive tokens. My main focus for tokens is currently OneUP where I can actually see it grow each week.

I'm mostly focused on HP. I'm trying to grow that to a certain level while it's still trading at a price I can actually accumulate. I do use the 50/50 on posts and any HBD I get from curation or whatever goes into savings. The goal is to ultimately be able to put enough in HBD to earn a meaningful passive income, but for now, I'm mostly focused on HP because it helps grow things through curation. Plus, I think there's a lot of price appreciation coming down the road at some point so I want to have as much as possible to take advantage of that.

Ideally, HIVE will go to $10+ and I'll be able to peel some off here and there to stash in HBD. The dream is $1M in HBD so I can collect $10k/month in interest. :-) A long way to go but...gotta have a plan, right? :-)

I agree with you here! Maybe HBD can do something similar to SBD, but the chances are low with all these stabilization things... But, it's OK like that... For me, HIVE is a real crypto and it has a huge potential... It CAN make a difference one day and I hope we will witness that...

I prefer a mixture. Since my rewards are set to 50% HP and 50% HBD, I just leave the HP staked and transfer the HBD into savings without rebalancing. In that way I get a bit of upside if Hive goes up, but I still have my HBD as a foundation if Hive goes down.

It looks like many people do that strategy, just to cover both possible "scenarios"... It's great that we have implemented that in the HIVE code!

I would do both. However, if I had to choose between the two, I would say HP is my preference because it gives you more stake in the governance and rewards pool.

I prefer a balanced approach. HP for increasing my influence on the platform and as a long term investment. HBD because it's more liquid and stable. Although currently we have two stable coins not one, since HIVE seems to move around $1 as well. Btw, HP also has interest, which is on top of curation rewards. Together I believe they are just about the same as HBD interest. But that's not so relevant, if HIVE re-becomes volatile, on the other side of 1$. Then these price movements will become the center of attention, as we know.

You are right HP has like 2.5% interests as well and we shouldn't neglegt that. I have a similar approach HBD and HP. The problem I have is that since I stake all my Hive and put all my HBD into savings, I often run out of liquid funds these days :-)

I have the same problem. Used to have much more liquidity before I started with the goals. :)

I chose to have Hive Power vs HBD due to needing the hive voting power to be able to vote for all the other H-E tokens and also the resource credits needed for the games, posting/commenting and voting that I do on the hive platform. I believe you get about the same return between about 12% hive power (2.88% + close to 9% curation rewards) vs 12% for HBD so that part is really close based on the dust votes that occur. But otherwise I lean toward Hive Power.

Owning HP has a lot of other effects that are not only financial. You can give value to posts, you have more influence, you can vote on proposals and witnesses. I believe that the first step for everybody should be to get a decent amount of HP.

Tough choice... right now HBD since HIVE is taking a dip and HBD collects 12% interest. When HIVE is rocking high, I prefer HP (vests) above everything else!!!! However... if HIVE dumps really low, it's an opportunity to sell some of that HBD and power it up to support the good folks here on HIVE - that way you're all charged up for when HIVE is rocking again!

I am taking 50-50 approach. I still need the HBD to pull out every now and then and pay for stuff IRL. If that wasn't the situation I'd go 100% PU

Since I earn on Hive from my posts, I have it set up so that I get paid 50/50, so 50% in Hive Power and 50% in HBD. I used to change all that HBD to Hive from time to time, but now I switch it to HBD saves every now and then.

Well since I'm trying to build my HivePower to a sizable amount I just take my earnings as they come. Whatever I earn I like to power up but if I earn HBD I just let it keep growing.

A while backe I attempted to add to my savings and I did 10Hvie to HBD so I could save it and only got like 2 HBD. I don't know what happened during the transaction but after that I never attempted again. maybe in the future when my HBD grows a little more, I'll try it again.

I like to earn as much as I can and in as many ways as I can too.

Thanks for your response. I am still learning a lot about Hive and everything that comes with it. It is a lot. Slowly I see some growth. I had a big curation which give me a decent amount of SPT and Oneup but not yet have gotten some large Hive upvotes, I try to use everything I have to support other channels like Liotes and other Hivers by delegating.

I place more value on my Hive Power overall... but I !LUV the HBD savings option, and I take advantage when the price is right. When #HIVE gets way above $1, I opt for the savings account. Then I convert my HBD when Hive is way below $1.

I hope I made it in time for the mission! :)

That's the right attitude! Most of people are doing it in reverse and lose time and money while building their portfolio... Sell high, buy low! :)

Precisely. Contrarian mindsets often see more clearly... when the news starts telling you that something is headed for the moon, sell it ASAP. But if they're ragging on something else-- talking about what a train wreck it is-- it would probably be a good time to buy (if everything checks out after DYOR). 🤔

So I guess the moral of the story is: being unpopular can be profitable! !LOL
