did SBD hold its value significantly better than Steem?
yep, and I am a little proud of how well it worked.w
sold ~5k STEEM for SBD
bought ~7k STEEM back for those SBD, just a few hours later.
... could buy back 6k HIVE for the airdropped HBD, but I agree: HIVE price is going to drop significantly mid term.
Wow congratulations! Never even occurred to me TBH!
I'm with you on buying Hive, patience is the key there.
I'm just trading Steem for BTC and holding that - or rather trading in and out of LTC as that fluctuates, and a couple of thousand Hive, I figure that's going to go up and down, up and down before it settles.
I don't mind if I get stuck with a few thousand Hive on the way down, it's a hedge in case BTC (and then everything else) pumps like crazy, in which case there might be speculation on Hive.
I think most people buying in now are expecting a medium term speculative pump.
