I think there's a number of people in lower income countries already adopting this approach on Hive.

I've long thought along similar lines, that platforms like Hive should be a great boon for people in developing countries.

There is the potential for direct peer to peer mutually beneficial development, free of the horrific injustices of the 'development industry' (e.g., The World Bank, developing the world one banquet at a time, the 'Lords of Poverty' is such an apt name ).

The problem here is that so far earning in this vein on Hive has seemed to come in the form of pretty poor quality content, often in response to someone with a few hundred Hive power running some kind of initiative and then handing out $2 upvotes.

That push-up initiative last year was a great example of that, and I've seen similar things since.

That kind of thing makes me very uncomfortable - it makes Hive look somewhere between cultish and feudal, and probably not attractive to investors.

It's something I need to think through a bit more.

I have actually started using HBD savings recently myself, I like to have a certain amount of cash liquid, and a 3 day wait is fine (otherwise I'd just spend it on the platform!), so I've got faith in that as a stable coin.

Cheers!
