Do have little or no knowledge about Hive tokens, such as Hive, Hive power, Hive Backed Dollar{HBD} and how to power up, you are in the right place just flow with me.
Hive is the main token of the platform, it is transferable and you can exchange it for other tokens in the blockchain. It is a liquid token.
Hive power is used to perform various action in the platform such as creating of post, upvoting, downvoting and commenting. The more Hive power you have the more activities you can perform, this is your stake in the platform.
Hive Backed Dollar{HBD} is the division of rewards you get from post, HBD is like the stable coin of the platform.
Powering up your Hive token is very important, it gives you much power in the platform and it increases your resources credit, which measures the amount of activities you can perform in percentage. It is your stake in the platform , the more your stake the more your shares.
How to acquire Hive power
- Purchasing Hive tokens from the internal market or exchange and then power up the Hive you just got.
- You can also get Hive power from post rewards. This being another way to get Hive power, it might take a while to acquire much HP,but if you are very consistent you can accumulate enough HP to get you going.
- Delegation, you can also acquire HP through delegation by other users of the platform to get you started.
