Thank you for your very extensive answer!

I have been on the blockchain for more than nine years, though my main focus has always been the content I post and the people I interact with. The tokens and everything around that has been just mildly interesting to me, as I always kept wondering: "Does this whatever really require its own currency?"

But along the way I have been playing around with coins on HiveEngine, staking them for various communities - until they went bust, or paired them with another token in one of the many pools - in the application that also stopped existing not long ago.

As for HPUD, hehehe, I still need to join the ranks of "everyone" who powers up 10 HIVE on the first doy of each month. I've done that with LEO for a good while. As I was earning LEO each month, there was enough new LEO to stake, and so I kept it up proudly... until it stopped being a thing. That I even posted about, feel free to research it.

Currently I share the sentiment with other Hivers, that things aren't like they used to be, but at least we are not going anywhere. Consequently, I am much less excitable about new projects, but appreciate things that do work. Having my 3.7 ATX sitting around in my wallet is not better than so many other tokens, so I may as well put it into a pool. The one with SWAP.HIVE seems to be okay.

Otherwise, what I really appreciate about your reply is the link to the HiveTools site. That looks immensely useful, which I have not gotten to know yet. But entering the pool was easy enough with it.
