NO Powering Up on HivePUD & NO Rewards for March

in LeoFinancelast year (edited)

It's the first day of the month, a day that is dedicated to powering up HIVE each month. But this time, we decided there would be NO powering up and NO rewards for March!

Still, ...

Today is gonna be a good day


Did we get you?!?

Of course, it's a joke! 😄
It's April 1st, Fool's Day, and we couldn't resist acting accordingly and playing foolish just a little bit. 😎 🙈
We hope that we didn't shock you too much for too long!?! 😀

So, as the image above says, Today is gonna be a good day!

We prepared earlier and brought in some fresh funds to power up our account again for another 100 HP.

The snapshot of token holders was taken on March 31st, 2023, at midnight (UTC), and the rewards for March were sent out just before publishing this post.
The amounts of shared rewards for March are shown in the table below for each token holder according to its respective token holding.

Sent Rewards for March 2023




.
Enjoy the rest of the day, and don't get caught! Remember, it's Fool's Day! 😉 But a well-intentioned good joke for a good laugh is always fun and healthy!

One twelfth of Power Up Days will fall on April Fools Day each year.

Quite frankly, I decided to stop powering up my HIVE. I now transfer any scant earnings I have into HBD savings. HBD gives guaranteed passive income at 20% interest!

HP is just speculative. Since the system guarantees HBD with HIVE, I figure that HBD will continue to be the better bet until haircut season is on.

!LOLZ

... HBD will continue to be the better bet until haircut season is on.

We will probably agree with you entirely if that last part doesn't concern us, as when it happens and, i.e., HBD drops from the current $1 to $0.75, it would be, in a second, a permanent loss for many.

What we mean by that is the following.
Let's say one invested $1,000 in HBD. After a year, it would be $1,200. If the haircut rule gets implemented the following day at the above-mentioned price ($0.75), those 1,200 HBD would be $900, which is a 10% loss on initial investment (of $1,000).

If the haircut rule gets implemented after two years, that $ 1,000 (with compounding interest) would be 1,440 HBD x $0.75 = $1,080, which would be a total profit of only 8% after two yeas period of "frozen funds" on the initial investment (of $1,000).

On the other hand, as you said, the HIVE price is way more volatile and unpredictable.

Therefore, we think that both paths are somewhat of a gamble, and on both of which one should be prepared for all sorts of outcomes (from worst to best) and as well nimble, quick, and ready to adapt to rapid changes that might occur.

!PIZZA

HBD compounds every 30 days. The interest from HBD is actually a bit higher than you stated.

Another interesting aspect of HBD is that whenever the price of HIVE drops significantly, many players convert their HBD to HIVE.

In the last two market dips people converted over a million HBD into HIVE. I suspect that, if we saw the price of HIVE fall below $0.2, we could see 3 to 4 million HBD converted to HIVE. This would decrease the market cap of HBD and increase that of HIVE.

Ausbit says the haircut will happen if HIVE drops to $0.0783.

But, if people converted their HBD to HIVE, then the HBD/HIVE ratio would change and the haircut probably wouldn't kick in until the price dropped below $0.05.

!PIZZA

Yes, you are right! We know that HBD compounds every 30 days, but we did just a quick, rough math.

There is also a very good post published about a week ago that explains a pretty detailed (even going through history examples) what you just said. So currently, there is no panic that an HBD haircut will happen soon and overnight.

Despite that, and from our project perspective, we are, at the moment, somewhat forced to focus primarily on our HP, as otherwise, we wouldn't have the "fuel" to support the publishers. And that's our main goal (especially, although not solely, having in mind newer Hive members).
Besides that, if we all abandon HIVE (and HP) and move our funds to HBD, the blockchain might lose its primary purpose or maybe even some sort of its functionality.

On the other hand, we also don't want to put all our eggs in just one basket. Therefore, we are trying to "juggle" by distributing our investments in different promising projects as on-chain (including HBD) the same off-chain, and balance them all together as best we can and know.

Apart from all of that, thank you very much for all the inputs that you shared here, as we find it valuable food for thought.

!ALIVE | !CTP

otherwise, we wouldn't have the "fuel" to support the publishers.

I am not happy about the high interest on HBD because it seems to draw resources from the other projects in the ecosystem.

I powered up enough HP to be a dolphin. I feel devastated by the steady decrease of the tribal coins on HE.

As for panicking. People evolved from herd animals. People are sparked by movement.

Neither of the last two dips were deep enough to justify a panic, but the fact is that, in the last two market dips, we saw people convert about 10% of the HBD to HIVE. The movement sparked the sell off.

Oddly our biggest problem would happen if market capitalization of HBD increased rapidly over several months without notice.

I am happy that you are focused on your project and hot HBD.

!WINE

I feel devastated by the steady decrease of the tribal coins on HE.

There are a couple of HE tokens that we have monitored for some time, and unfortunately, we have to agree with you on this one.
But there is one HE tribal token that stands out and slowly moves in a different direction than the other majority. We are talking about the ALIVE token.
Here are some numbers from our data collection.

ALIVE token Bid Price from January to April 2023


...in the last two market dips, we saw people convert about 10% of the HBD to HIVE.

We believe, in some future market rise(s), the vast majority of the same people would convert it back from HIVE to HBD.


And last but not least, thank you for understanding our position and recognizing the intention! 😊

This interaction thread is very interesting and informative.
I was not aware HBD haircut existed. Thank you for sparking this conversation and sharing valuable information @yintercept and @vocup 👍😊

Thanks for the reply.

I know that there is a haircut. I am not sure what the haircut will do.

I just know that it exists.

Currently, the haircut kicks in at 30%. I intend to dump my HBD if ever the marcap of HBD rose to 15% of HIVE. I might dump at 10%.

Interestingly, the fact that many HBD holders will dump HBD as it approaches 30% reduces the chance that we will hit it.

Prior to the last dip, the HBD marcap was approaching 7.5%. People converted over a million HBD and the marcap dropped. it is now 5.7%
