When the platform started (under shteemit) there was an idea to peg some of the rewards to the USD.
Maybe at the time it was reasonable.
But we must not fall in love with legacy.
A good product should focus on value to the users.
And a good developer deletes more code then they write.
Again maybe in 2016 it was hard to explain crypto and the SBD seemed a good idea to attract users. But today the Hive token stand for itself.
Think of how much energy we spend (product, dev and users) on the HBD -
Conversion, keep it stabilized, explain to users, savings.
It is all subjects to bugs and speculations.
That might be good for a pure finance product but it only complicates the Hive product and not only it doesn't bring any value, imo it erodes the UX.
Also with the Hive-Engine and tribes, if people want a pegged token they can have it. This is a domain for more crypto finance defi people to use.
So I am asking the important people here in the dev community, please consider and think, do we really need HBD?
Think what you can do with all this void after you remove all the HBD related code.
