I kind of understand what you just explained. And I agree. It is easier to gradually reduce the HBD APR than to reduce it by 20 or 30% at once.
Basically, I have been staking HBD so far because it is the only one that has maintained a $1 value. Hive is not maintaining its value but is falling. I can live with a lower APR, but at the end of the day, the question always arises - will all this be enough, or will it just prolong the agony?
