# Back to the updates # As of my last update ### Purchases from CRO investments which totalled: **423.26** HIVE purchased since January $43.99 CAD value Average purchase price $0.1039 per HIVE ### From my Crypto.com VISA card 1172.01 HIVE $118.58 CAD value Average purchase price of $0.1011 per Hive **1595.27** Hive purchased since January

# But what have I added recently? Well, There were actually a whole bunch of CRO rewards waiting for me when I checked this month from a bunch of weeks accumulating. **636.309** CRO to be exact of which **141.162** were from investment rewards (taxable) Normally I would convert all those CRO to Swap.Hive and then to HIVE but this week? I'm still working on getting the GLD community up and running so the conversion was: 636.309 CRO --> 713.839 Swap.Hive --> 4210 GLD * 934 GLD to @cro.gld * 3275 GLD to @crovisa.gld and that allowed @merchantsguild to add 42.10 HBD to the bot which takes care of GLD redemptions at their par value of 100:1

### Money brought into the Hive ecosystem? That brings the amount from CRO investments up to : * $56.88 And from the CRO Visa up to : * $117.53 CAD

# Less money sitting in the liquidity pool
Now last post I had mentioned bringing money into a liquidity pool for GLD redemptions. It seemed like a good idea at the time. A way to bring in LTC to get GLD and vice versa. However, once there was the hive-engine hack it made me rethink if I really wanted to keep all that swap.ltc there to support GLD when it could be hacked. That's why I am moving away from the liquidity pool to a redemption for HIVE/HBD bot. In that way GLD is (hopefully) as strong as HBD and GLS as strong as HIVE. Theoretically at least. But if you are curious... Here is a page from the website documenting the vault and all the GLD stored and the GLD issued and available. ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/cro.gld/23tRzSai7Gq4s8AqnLkbWx4VVRgmmZ1Hevs1fGEfoeGiHN7ArMur9wWpjxwWrx7QyyQaE.png) If you are curious about how things get exchanged please checkout the website : https://hivegld.netlify.app/ and take a look around. It has been fully functional when I have checked it out. The documentation is weak and I still have to smooth out some rough edges but transfers work. As for the next batch of money I bring in? It will be used to buy EDSI tokens to help backup the GLS token. It is kind of a round about way to buy HIVE but I still think it is supporting the HIVE, EDSI, and GLD community so I'm happy with the pivot. Of course after the hive-engine hack I'm also looking to diversify into the magi network and quite possibly create my own bitcoin wallet so I can keep some crypto off the net in cold storage. Unfortunately that's a task I'm holding off on for a little while longer. Other things are taking priority

# A few weeks without vacation
For right now I'm back at home. Back into a regular routine Back with my regular computers and laptops Which means I can finally work on getting the GLD website up and running 100%. The first portion: Getting the banking taken care of is pretty much done. The second portion: Getting the rewards layer automated is up next. The third portion: Getting the gaming system working? Well, that's going to take some time. But now that I'm back home? I can finally focus on getting it all done, and seeing how much value I can bring into HIVE and CRO from simply having a Crypto.com VISA card :)

# Thanks for reading And that's all until next months update :)
