3.5 days plus 5% fee? isnt that much? converting is quite a risky thing since the price can move in those 3.5 days and since everyone does it it usually means that suddenly a large supply of the other would appear on the market changing the price by demand supply. hence i dont always convert the moment it seems profitable

the median price is also moving much more now in hive since we dont have any sockpuppets giving wrong median price. back in steem it was much more profitable to convert.

having a hive to hbd conversion could lower inflation of hive, so it can be beneficial to hoddlers
