do we need it after HF25? i would say we can stop after and give it in the hands of hive stakeholders in form of a pool. would be a usecase for liquid hive :) And we know it has currently not the best usecases :D

I don't see the stabilizer as currently constructed competing for the HIVE->HBD conversions. But for <$1.05 it can do the same thing as now.

is there a 5% fee on converting on the fork?

Yes. For $1.05 of HIVE you get $1 of HBD.

plus 3 days time to converting or instant? I think it would not need both and 3 days would average out most time.

Or is there a reason i don't see? The best case would be we print a bazillion HBD and burn Hive with it. So defi platforms can use it as a stable coin.

Edit:
I ask because why should someone do it? If I can sell 1,05$ of Hive for 1,05USDT that's available on a lot of exchanges and easy to transfer. Why is HBD better in that case?

I guess the fee is a more direct money grab from speculator/pumpers than merely using it to buy HIVE would be. Which ends up benefiting Hive (stakeholders) more, I can't really say.

It takes 3.5 days to complete but the HBD is delivered immediately. To account for price fluctuation there is a overcollateralization.

HBD is delivered immediately

Very good to know :).

To the speculator/pumpers point. If it is immediately, it is cool, but 5% way too high. How should HBD compete with other stables?

if I sell 1$ in Hive, I get 1USDT for it. With Haircut I don't see much abuse potential, it's more like people would less likely sell for Tether if they can use our onchain HBD.

More liquidity in Hive/HBD. The market wants to avoid fees. I think this makes a good idea to something that manipulates itself.
