RE: Is 20% APR for HBD too much ? (vote for what you think should be the new apr)

in dPoll10 months ago

Yes, I notice that if you search the accounts with the biggest value... Very few seem to be saving HBD and making much use of the 20% interest rate, which I find strange.

20% is a large number... If you could save 5 times your annual living expense, you could live off HBD interest alone. This is a huge number, but for some people it might be the equivalent of selling your house and renting instead, and putting the value of your sold house into saved HBD to just live off (if you trusted the 20% to be that safe in the long term)... So yes it is a big number for a safe and stable investment instead of a risky one?

too much hbd stake = hive price drop thats why hive whale don't stake a lot of hbd, since hbd create new hive if no one want the new hive hbd won't worth anything

Thank you for all your replies and helping me learn!

I wonder if there are other things/levers that could be changed besides HBD interest rate that might help... Our default payout for posts is 50% staked HP and 50% liquid HBD - could changing that ratio help?

Yes 75% HP/ 25% HBD could help i think
