I've been slowly growing my stack of $HP and $HBD over these past few months. I haven't sold any Hive out of the ecosystem since I started consistently writing articles and actifit reports back in April 2024.
Last month I decided to commit to trading all the extra SPS earned on my two alt accounts into HIVE to power up on my main account. As long as I stay active on Hive, then I can get the value out of my HP stash by manually writing and curating articles on Hive as I see fit.
I've been keeping half of my Hive rewards as $HBD and using the new Hive Keychain function to automatically stake/save the HBD once it is claimed. It is nice to see Splinterlands and Hive making a focused effort to work together on promotion, DHF initiatives, and growing the user base on our Web3 decentralized platform.
