Your decision is excellent.
HBD savings no longer have the same appeal as before. So I think it's better to convert your HBD into HIVE and power it up, where you can earn around 11–14% APR.
The biggest advantage is that HIVE has much greater potential for price appreciation because it is currently trading at relatively low levels. This means you could earn significant capital gains, something you won't get by keeping your funds in HBD.
