I'd like to see this same comparison done vs the HBD savings because the price of LEO and HIVE move so drastically.. had a person invested 10K USD into LBI and 10K USD into HBD which would hold more value. I remember LEO being well over $1 where as it's now around 20 cents. So although you may have gained more LEO you actually lost money? Those are great returns if the price of LEO remains the same or does better. But when it tanks... so does your net worth. HBD on the other hand has little variance in price so you increase your value every month.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Yeah totally get where you are coming from. In terms of dollars, LBI is down.
but...
LBI was set up to use LEO as the base currency and increase in LEO value. On the flip side, if LEO were to go back to $1, the LBI token price would decrease.
Im never gonna do an HBD comparison because LBI is not valued in $'s and i dont wanna be...
If you're investing in LEO, LBI is a great option to get involved passively.

I wouldn't shoot ya. Besides I already packed up the guns
That is true but LBI is priced in LEO, nothing else.
Why not compare it to the Venezuelan Bolivar or the Turkish Lira?
You can also find better returns elsewhere if you want depending upon the market.
Of course, just off the top of my head, since the 12% wasnt in hand all year with HBD, the net payout for the year was probably 7%. That is about 1/10th the return of LBI. Even if the price dropped by 4/5ths, the return still might exceed the HBD.
And your theory goes to all hell if the price of LEO takes off. HBD is great to get a consistent return and remove volatility. However, if you are going to play the time the market game, then that is one approach. However, most cannot do that successfully so the comparison holds no weight.

I'm only bringing up the point because I'm fixing to take about 5K of the money from my house sale and invest it.. obviously I want the best ROI possible..
That is a tough one. At these prices, something like HIVE might be a better options. But LEO could be good too.
HBD is a lest risky move, but not going to get the return.
Always comes down to your risk tolerance. Very little downside to the HBD though.
