Whenever I have Hive Dollars, I usually convert to Hive using @blocktrades.
Thanks @blocktrades for providing such good instant service.
I have been using @tipu to give out tips very often recently so it is great to be able to give out hive.
By giving hive, receiver can always use it to power up but it depends on the receiver.
Looking at the price of Hive, it does look like the movement of it is higher than HBD so I personally would think that Hive can have a future good price.
Whenever I tip via tipu or peakd, 1% would be automatically sent to null. This may just promote the price of Hive more and the value of our upvote may possibly increase but I may be wrong.
Most of my transactions on Hive engine are using Hive too so there are many more uses for Hive in my personal opinion.
How about you? Do you prefer Hive or HBD?
