I've done this monthly for a while - bought some crypto - but I'm like you, mostly into the alts - but I am now doing exactly the same, but that's more like $!00 a month rather than a week.

BTC to save, Hive to use.

Here's a challenge for you - write a post telling us about 5 coins you can 'do' more with than Hive, other than just staking for a return.
