**What is #SpendHBD?**

#SpendHBD is a project within the Hive Blockchain ecosystem that promotes the use of the cryptocurrency HBD (Hive Dollars), an algorithmic stablecoin backed by the cryptocurrency Hive (HIVE). Its primary objective is to maintain a stable value linked to the US dollar (USD) through market mechanisms and conversion used within the Hive Blockchain. It's commonly used for transactions and can be earned as rewards by creating posts within the Hive Blog.

#SpendHBD focuses on incentivizing users to spend their Hive Dollars on various activities and services within the Hive community and beyond.

**Where does #SpendHBD originate from?**

Spend HBD emerges as a response to the need to promote the active use of Hive Dollars, not just as a store of value but as an everyday currency. The initiative aligns with the goals of the Hive blockchain to create a robust ecosystem where cryptocurrencies have practical and tangible applications. The idea is to encourage the circulation of Hive Dollars to strengthen its adoption and utility.

**How does #SpendHBD work?**

#SpendHBD operates by promoting various activities and contests that require the use of Hive Dollars. For example, users can participate in community-organized contests where they can win Hive Dollar prizes by spending this currency on specific services or products. Additionally, there are platforms and businesses within Hive that accept Hive Dollars as a form of payment, facilitating its use and circulation. 

Suppose you blog about your spending of Hive Dollars, particularly capturing the moment that the spend happens, via scanning a QR code from either V4V.app or Hive Keychain Store point of sales invoice generators and post to the #spendHBD tag on Hive. In that case, you are likely to earn upvotes that often exceed the amount of your purchases!
