There are many reasons to hold HIVE. First, there's the voting power for curation. Second, there's the governance power for voting on witnesses and proposals. Third, there are the resource credits needed to transact. And fourth, and probably most important, there is the profit potential on upwards price movement.
I mean, 20% on HBD is great and all, and I definitely think people should take advantage of it with some portion of their portfolios. But there is no comparison between making 20% owning HBD and making (hopefully) 1000% or more by holding Hive. If you think HIVE is going to break out and go to $2, $5, $10 or more like I do, then the vast majority of what you have should stay in HIVE. And since it's not likely to just scream to $10, your best bet is powering it up so you can make the extra curation dollars and the almost 3% interest on your HP holdings.
