>Note: While these kinds of things are obvious to some, they aren't known to many. Because of this, I want to introduce bits and pieces of basics, and also some of the behaviours associated around Hive, because there are new people coming in through various gateways all of the time, and it is useful to get a grasp of the ecosystem, without having to read guides.

Agreed... its useful to have little reminders, I've been here 4 years or so, and I've learnt a hell of a lot, but I'm pretty sure I've forgotten plenty along the way!

I did vaguely remember that the proportion of the rewards changed relative to the price, so this was a pertinent reminder today, thank you.

I've seen plenty of talk about powering down to make the most of the price fluctuation, but honestly I can't be bothered to faff around with that. I try to be sensible when I buy and when I save, but I'm certainly no day trader. I think now the hive price has gone up, its better for me to save whatever HBD I can muster for now, and see if I can build that up a little ready for whenever the price dips 

(*...because the price will always dip at some point, but hey, thats me... the eternal pessimist!*)
