What a great day to wake up in the morning, on a Monday and see your HBD interest ready to be claimed. A month has passed since the 20% APR was upvoted by the witnesses and now it is more than appealing to put that into the Savings account for the hefty return that is provided. Up until now, I was gathering my HBD but the previous APR of 12% didn't give me high hopes of accumulating fast an important sum. But with 20% APR now that makes it much better and I predict that more people will change their habits on Hive blockchain from converting HBD to HIVE and keeping the HBD and maybe also reverse the exchanges in order to accumulate more HBD.

So today I was able to Claim the Interest generated over the course of a month and it totaled 18.547 HBD pushing my HBD in Savings to 1,216.442. As I was required to manually claim the interest, I think that a good feature would be if we could opt-in to auto claim it. Combine that with the fact that it goes straight to HBD Savings and that makes it an auto compounding mechanic that simply keeps ongoing and builds up, even if you are not around to manual claim it. Would get pretty close to current DeFi compounding features from the crypto space.

With the new 20% APR on Savings I have upped my goal to reach 10,000 HBD by end of the year. At the moment I am standing at 12.16% of this goal and I know it is a big challenge to achieve it, but if you don't dare to dream big you will achieve nothing. In order to reach this goal besides the interest that will keep on accumulating each month and the HBD rewards that I will be earning from content creation and curation, I will need to find new sources to pour into the HBD Savings account. I have identified some such sources as being from blockchain games (mostly on Hive), Liquidity Provider earnings (from TribalDex - Diesel Pools) and might also convert some of the Hive earnings to HBD as well.

I have 8 months remaining until the end of the year and that is a big undertaking to reach 10,000 HBD, but let's see if I can make it or not. I wonder if you set any goals for the HBD stablecoin from your portfolio and will be glad to hear your thoughts about it.
