Hive and HBD are a great hedge against inflation!
8 to 10 % inflation in Europe
We haven't seen this kind of inflation in Europe since the eighties, and that is a very long time. But it was bound to happen, only it didn't happen because of the excessive money printing, but due to rapid rising oil and gas prices. And that is actually the worst part of it, at least for the central banks. Raising interest rates, won't do a damn thing to the prices of oil and gas, they will stay so high as long as the conflict in Ukraine and the economic measures aren't solved, AND the supply chain issues world wide are off the table. That will take at least a year in my opinion. So this inflation is here to stay for a while longer. Especially now that the US Dollar is becoming so strong against the EURO, this makes oil even more expensive for Europe.
The stock market has fallen about 25 % since November last year, Bitcoin has lost 70 % of its value since November last year. And interest rates on bonds are still way to low, to be earning money on bonds. So what is left?
Hive, the perfect hedge
There are some options, like commodities, but there is a risk to it, once the supply chain issues get better, commodities could go down pretty nasty. The only thing that is left in my opinion, is some Altcoins, and in my opinion especially Hive. You get 20 % interest rate on you Hive Backed Dollar savings. You get daily rewards for posting, you get almost 3 % APR just for staking your Hive into Hive Power, and the best of all, you get around 8 to 10 % rewards per year for curating posts of others. Add to that your rewards from your own posts and you have a real hedge against inflation.
A platform that returns at least 11 % per year, just for staking and voting alone, I haven't seen anything like this all over the investment world. In my very humble opinion Hive is a perfect hedge against inflation. And we haven't even talked about the upwards potential of Hive's price. Which is way higher than the downwards risk.
Add all this, and you have your perfect mix to counter these demanding times. Profit from it, I would say to all of you.
Sincerely,

The recession is here, and Hive ultimately is just a cryptocurrency (risk asset). I’m bullish on HIVE in the long run, but we could see unprecedented selling pressure coming from the macro in the short term.

I don’t see why we should expect so much selling pressure… I think the bottom is behind us!
You could be right. But, I’m just pessimistic as the bearish macro will likely crash the market again, especially the imminent rate hike this month and early September.

Richard Heart predicts $11000 bottom for Bitcoin and Robert Kiyosaki $1000, Richard is usually right!

I think the next rate hike is already priced in, that’s how markets work, unless they hike 75 percentage points again, I see no reading why the market would react
Personally I dont bet on investing in Hive, Hive has basically been sideways for 6 years (former steem)... while HEX did 10000X in 2 years.

And how I wish the majority of us who don't explore the technicalities of the accumulation and holding of hive were to encounter this post.
The possibilities that come with being a part of this community are huge. I am currently fighting inflation on this end by using hive to feed my brood.

I am not sure how much of a hedge Hive has been but HBD did outstanding.
Over time, as we development more uses cases for HBD and build value for both, it could serve as an even more powerful hedge.

Just curation rewards alone are enough to counter the current inflation… I am keeping the price of Hive purposely out of the picture
Well 5555 HEX stakes pay out 38% (plus HEX is bound to go up another 10000X), that and HEDRON I believe are the best investments.
LasseCash pools pay around 50% APY currently and at a time where I am building new tokens denominated in LASSECASH, which will support the price. (https://www.lassecash.com/@lasseehlers/related-tokens-to-lassecash ). I think LasseCash has a lot more upside potential than Hive, but a bit more risk. A small amount invested in LasseCash right now can 10X the price, just think about that perspective.
I read that the commodity prices are going down again, so for the most part the inflation could be going down to "normal" levels soon, isnt it mostly industries that are affected by oil and gas? I believe we see lower prices at the supermarkets again soon and thats the most important for me :)
(but as anarchocapitalist, I never was an expert on markets connected to fiat money)

I think Hive is a great option and I do think the curation/author rewards plus the 20% from HBD is amazing. Compounding your earnings is great and Hive continues to develop so it has a great future.

Why we should keep HBD when the market is at the bottom?
