I almost always use the Internal Market to buy and sell Hive for Hive Dollars (HBD).
So far I tried the swapping function only once or twice (or at least only a very few times).
I am also not a Hive blockchain expert, nor a financial expert/advisor, so my post is not financial advice.
Only my personal investing decision, my personal investing approach, and my personal experience.
Everyone should do their own research before they invest any money into anything.
I wish successful investing to everyone.
Thank you for your comment. Of course, I didn't assume you're giving investment advice (not am I), I'm just really ew to everything here so I'm trying to learn as quickly as possible.
Some people are certainly able to answer your questions about how the Hive economy/market works, including the relation between the Hive and the Hive Dollars (HBD).
And probably it is already written somewhere on the Hive blockchain by someone.
Nowadays I do not use Discord, but many people on the Hive blockchain use it.
Probably it is easier to ask and receive answers for your questions there.
Yeah I don't use Discord too often myself. Would be great if all the information available here would be indexed somehow. Sometimes when I search for info about Hive I find posts that are 7 years old, so I'm not sure I can trust them.
