I've always been puzzled someone hasn't set up a Gift-card business where you can pay with Hive or HBD. Sort of like Gyft , but where you pay with Hive instead of bitcoin. I understand their business model

If the problem is expensive energy, cutting interest rates won't help (unless business needs loans to develop new sources of energy/find gas fields).

Does a readuction in money printing benefit crypto or hurt it?

I noticed a commentrewarder upvote on the top level post that uses this service. Is this automatic or manually done?

I would go with your gut - if you are feeling uneasy, there is usually a good reason for it. It also wouldn't hurt to diversify. (There is a big German community on Blurt).

I think what happened is that when the Hive price hit a low of 16 cents, a lot of people said "Bargain!" and withdrew HBD from savings to buy Hive. So of course less interest got paid out.

This sounds similar to the old dustsweeper project to reward comments. Can you merge your program with the dustsweeper one so that there is more oomph to the comment rewards? Or perhaps get dustsweeper

Do we know which alt-coins Paypal is going to allow people to buy?

Perhaps the liquidity only looks good because they're not allowing deposits and withdrawals? Once people can deposit and sell, those buy orders might vanish...

But surely "easy money" is good for bitcoin?

But real estate agents will find it hard to get business.

Some people are saying the rate cut was too big and will stoke inflation again, and the bond market seems to agree with that theory. If inflation turns upwards, both gold and bitcoin should do well as

There's an old saying: lotteries are a tax on people who can't do maths and don't realise the probability of winning is miniscule. I think investing is the easiest way to become wealthy. You need a bit

It doesn't sound as if you think this interest rate cut will help bitcoin...

So, does this mean more banking failures?

Will the interest rate cuts have an effect on crypto?

The thing about HBD is that it's pegged to the dollar, whereas Hive isnt. Only a month ago Hive was 20 cents, now it's 16 cents. That's a drop of 20%. So you need to make 20% on the curation just to break

The counterparty to every seller is a buyer... I mean, this is how price discovery happens. If you want to stop all selling you also have to stop all buying. How much does hive.fund dump in the market

I'm pretty sure you've written in the past about how you wished you had cashed out in 2021 when the Hive price was decent, and paid off your mortgage. Suppose you'd done that. You'd have a higher net worth

Look at this comment thread: They cashed out to pay the mortgage and started getting downvoted. And then in the thread the downvoter says, "I'll stop downvoting if you power back up everything you
