Well the $GLD token is on the hive-engine and I make sure to keep buy and sell orders available for those who use the platform but usually use ecency, hive-keychain, or tribaldex to actually exchange the coin (better rates for small amounts). I totally understand why #hivelearners wants people to be able to use hive-engine as it is important but more for speculation if you ask me.

Side note... feel free to tag me (or add me on Discord) if you have questions about Hive. I'm not an authorized trainer but I do know a fair bit about the platform :D
