๐Ÿ“Š Hive Power & HBD Savings vs. Day Trading: Day 3 โ€“ August 9, 2025

in LeoFinance โ€ข 2 months ago

Welcome back to Day 3 of my ๐Ÿ’ฐ Hive Blockchain Investment Experiment, where Iโ€™m comparing two approaches:

๐Ÿ Savings Strategy โ€“ Convert Hive into Hive Power (for curation rewards) and hold HBD in savings (earning interest). The steady, passive route.

โšก Trading Strategy โ€“ Actively trade Hive and HBD to capture short-term moves. The fast-paced, flexible route.

The goal: find out which strategy wins over timeโ€”steady growth or active flexibility

๐Ÿ“ˆ Todayโ€™s Market Prices

๐Ÿ HIVE: $0.2254
๐Ÿ’ต HBD: $1.008 (above peg)
