Would You Try HBD Bonds Experiment? [90-Day Lock-Up Period]

avatar
(Edited)


Dalz has an ongoing test project where he is offering a guaranteed 10% interest on top of the HBD Savings APR to those who are buying into the HBD Bonds experiment. The sale period (depositing or sending of HBD to the dedicated account) started on the 15th of November and will end on the 26th of November.

Accordingly, this is the first experiment for HBD Bonds which he capped at 10k HBD. Users who are interested in joining or participating will send HBD in whole batches or numbers - hundreds (100, 200, etc) or thousands (1k, 2k, 3k etc) to @hbd.bonds.

After 90 days, they will receive the guaranteed 10% plus the HBD Savings effective interest (20% currently). So if in 3 months (90 days), the HBD Savings APR remains to be 20%, then users who participated will receive 30% in total APR.

Where does the additional 10% interest come from?

Dalz mentioned he would take it out of his own pocket. Since he is putting the HBD into Savings and nowhere else.

At the time of this writing, there are 3,600 HBD sent to the wallet and have been put into HBD Savings. Maybe people still didn't see the announcement or they did but are not willing to lock up their HBD for 3 months despite the additional APR.

Depositors can withdraw their funds earlier than 90 days by notifying Dalz and they will have them within a day, but they won't earn any interest.

What's the purpose of the experiment?

I read that he was "curious to see how this goes and whether it is viable for something like this to be built on top of HBD." I also read from the comments where he mentioned that he wants to check whether people can lock their HBD for a longer period of time without withdrawing them early.

Accordingly, this experiment was inspired by the talks of HBD Bonds where the idea is to have a longer lock-up period for HBD with higher returns as opposed to the 3.5 days that the current setup of HBD Savings is.

For more information, check the announcement post. There was an update at the bottom of the post already.

There is a note that if less than 50% of the 10k cap will be sold during the period, the experiment will be canceled and Dalz will return the funds to the depositors.

Thoughts

Some people say the 3.5-day lockup period for HBD Savings is too short and they are toying around with the concept of HBD Bonds. If I'm not mistaken, I first heard the idea from theycallmedan.

It will be interesting to see how this experiment by Dalz will go as it will probably be a good way to learn.

I sent just 100 HBD which is the only liquid I have sitting somewhere and I might withdraw my HBD Savings and add to it before the sale period ends. The husband suggested withdrawing the HBD Savings on his account too but I'm still thinking, lol! Will see.

For infotainment only.

To be honest I am not going for it and I may need the my HBD in the new year power up. Currently my only focus on power up till the end of the year. Besides I don't love to lock my assets for 3 months. It's huge time. And it the same thing started with savings HBD I am ready to ignore 20% interest also. I think 3.5 days locked in HBD is ok for me because it's made for security purpose.

Hehe. Talked too much 😅😅.

I think that's the common concern why people are not jumping into it, the thought of needing the funds.

And it's okay that you talk too much, you're free to do so, especially here on Hive where we can't be censored, !LOLZ

I love the idea of keeping HBD locked for longer, as that may provide more stability and security. And the extra APR is juicy. Not sure if I'll join, but I'll go on to read more on it. Thanks for sharing, FG!

That's good to hear. I think that's what some people think too. Others argue that since HBD is limited, we don't need to limit it further by giving it a longer lockup period.

You're welcome and best of luck.

It is lucrative but bit risky...considering it will rmajn in one hand with no more to look after.

Hmm, good point. Although Dalz seems to have a good name on chain and the amount is not so big, I think it's okay to have just one to handle it.

yes i know dalz he is well known name around the platform since long...well not to offence anyone....you never know what is there tomorrow. any project involve two or more person so that we can reach to anyone. but in this case a sole ownership is risky....also he is paying by himself and there is no way the locked amount is going to be utilised...that does not make any sense to me. mere for own profit we make some one to pay by himself

Yeah, I got your point there. We do not hold tomorrow so it is best indeed to have another one just in case.

Dalz admits that it is his loss but he is willing to do it. I presume he wants to find out something and might develop something related to HBD in the future if this experiment works out well.

That might be one reason why not many people are excited to join. It will be interesting to see how it pans out and how it yields should the experiment pushes through.

Lock HBD for a longer period?
I wonder what so many of the people who spend time on Hive mainly for earning would think. I guess having liquid funds is very important to many. I don't know much about crypto but from a very broad way of thinking I can say this.
Just my two pence worth of input.

Yes, most tend to not like the idea of locking it longer because there might be a need that arises at any given time. But for people who do not rely on their Hive earnings, it might be an enticing offer.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, mi !LADY 😍

I can try this and it makes sense to me
It is even better than saving or having a fixed deposit at the bank
I just had to compare the prices now

That's good to hear. Saving in a bank even a Time Deposit won't yield a good interest.

Those who have a good amount of money in HBD should do this experience because we all know that HPD is a more trusted platform and a trusted project, so your money is absolutely safe.

Yes. I just checked and almost 50% of the bond has been filled (4900 HBD now) and I read a few people saying they will withdraw their HBD and participate. It looks like people like the additional APR.
