Pizza backed by HBD was affected by HBD price

Recently there was a great contest from @geekgirl to buy some pizzas with Hive Dollars (HBD) and I was lucky to win 7.5 HBD which was equivalent to 15 dollars here - the budget I had proposed to buy a Indi Chicken Tikka Large from Dominos . The idea to buy stuffs with HIVE / HBD is definitely encouraging, because that gives the impression, how you can use crypto in day to day life. HBD was 2$ then, and I thought, I would pay the extra amount.

Unfortunately, the market price of HBD tumbled since then - reflecting how the volatility affects usage of crypto.And when my kids asked to order the pizza, I requested them to manage with the budget based on current price so that they can learn a bit of financial management. And after exploring various options, both the kids differed on their orders. My daughter is a die hard fan of pizza, so she went ahead with her regular favorite - Deluxe Veggie and Garlic Breadsticks. And then my son preferred to go ahead with Sub chicken big from Subway.

Like every time, there was some fighting for the Garlic Breadsticks and after some time, they got to a deal, but they were very happy to enjoy the HIVE / HBD Certified pizza. May be they would have got more with the HBD price at 2$, but now I understand why @smooth is trying to make HBD price as stable at 1$. If it always remains at that price, then any funding would not affect, and probably I could have got 15 HBD, but at more cost from @geekgirl budget.
