Yeah, CFD trading is speculative gambling on an asset spot price. 100%
What you described is exactly the functionality I'm bringing to HIVE as a sort of side addition to the lending platform. The ability to borrow against your powered up HIVE might be a life saver for some, and it effectively sidesteps the stupid 13 week powerdown liquidity problem.

The news is trash! I avoid the shit too. Too damn busy focused on my own shit to honestly come up for air and focus on whatever the talking head on TV is referring to. You must have a thing for socially handicapped nerds.. But honestly I can't complain, the praise is sometimes what you need to hear when all the other noises around are sharp and rough to the touch. :/

" I buy cryptocurrency that has a function and hold it long."

A woman that does crypto AND has fundamentals about it? I may have to challenge your hubby to a duel and whisk you off to my igloo. XD

Appreciate you popping by and saying hi. Hopefully once development slows down a bit for me I'll be able to take some time to focus on my health.. In the mean time though it's long hours.
