Are you optimistic about Hive?
If Hive got even a portion of Bitcoin and other coins hype or optimism Hive could see some run up in price. Without understanding much of the details there seems to be some promise in what people are working on such as VSC, but I'm barely scratching the surface. I have a lot of reading to do to understand it better.
It seems obvious to me that Bitcoin will continue to perform well in our lifetime likely at continued greater returns than the s&p 500 and if I was to deploy more capital it's difficult to know if I should deviate from Bitcoin or not.
Hive due to low volume is going to be volatile and we don't know if we will get some run good or if we will fade off into irrelevance.
Purely with Hive and excluding capital gains taxes for simplicity:
If Hive got to $3 I'd have a sizeable deposit for a home especially if I move to Ireland outside of big cities.
If Hive got to $10 I could buy a 2 or 3 bed house in cash in some towns again if I moved back to Ireland.
I'm optimistic that by the end of 2027 that we could see some price movement like that.
With taxes accounted for it would still be a meaningful lift towards financial freedom.
I think HBD is a buy right now and I'll probably put $1,000 into that soon.
Even if it cost 2% to convert from fiat to from HBD and even if USD moves in the wrong way vs CAD I think if I hold for 1.5 years or more I'll make a good return in CAD.
I’m liking the 15% apr on HBD to park money, instead of in a bank account.
Yeah I think I will allocate more to HBD soon. 4% is the highest temporary interest rate I'm getting in a so called high yield savings account with a Canadian bank or credit union and it's usually only 60 or 90 days at that rate before going back to <1%.
HBD seems attractive..
Bitcoin is where it's at.
In my opinion that's the play of you want to hold Crypto long term.
Put it in a hard wallet.
Get yourself some dividend paying stocks like IBM too.
Gold is another worth holding.
Then when the time is right, get yourself on the property market. Us Irish love a bit of property and it's certainly nice to eventually own your own home, especially given the uncertainty of the AI-influenced future that is unfolding.
Hive is great and I love the community and turn up here every day, but mistakes have been made and opportunities squandered. Hopefully it can be turned around. I'm actually Hopeful that we will some day see >$1 Hive again.
Alas, that is Crystal ball gazing though and the truth is nobody knows
Also just to add, HBD savings are an excellent option in my opinion and all my Hive earnings go there now and I'm slowing amassing a chunk, at around $1.2K now
