The challenge is only beginning, and trade number one has been completed!
If you missed the first post here's the short version: I started with 1 HBD and I'm trading my way up, one on-chain deal at a time, toward 1,000,000 Hive Power. Crypto, NFTs, game assets etc. Every trade public, every transaction verifiable.
The Offer
@blanchy slid into the comments and offered 30 hive for my 1 HBD. But there was a catch.
The catch? I had to publicly acknowledge that I'm gay. On the blockchain. Forever. It's 2026. Being gay is cool so whatever
I promptly converted the hive I received to 1.6 HBD so I am like 60% up! Easy money baby!
Tldr. My first trade cost me nothing but a memo and my dignity. and Hive now has a permanent record of my orientation sitting in its blocks unt
The Numbers
As aforementioned, Iconverted the 30 HIVE back to HBD to keep things simple, and landed at 1.6 HBD.
That's a 60% gain on trade one. At this rate I only need.. a lot more trades. But we're moving in the right direction, and that's what matters.
The Scoreboard
| Trade | Traded away | Received | Est. value | Rewards added | Pot total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| #0 | — | 1 HBD | $1 | $0 | $1 |
| #1 | 1 HBD | 30 HIVE → 1.6 HBD | ~$1.60 | $0 | ~$1.60 |
Huge thanks to @blanchy for kicking this off in the most Hive way possible.
Trade #2 Is Open
I'm now holding 1.6 HBD. Actually it's 1.646.
What have you got? Cards, tokens, NFTs, game assets, weird one-of-one things nobody wants. Drop your offer in the comments. The best one wins, and "best" doesn't always mean most valuable. Make me a deal I can't refuse.
Let's go. 🚀
The Rules
- Starting point: 1 HBD. Nothing else.
- Crypto only: Every trade must be crypto, NFTs, tokens, in-game assets etc. All chains allowed
- One post per trade: Every trade gets its own post with transaction links so anyone can verify it.
- No outside money: I won't add funds from my own wallet or buy my way up.
- Post rewards go into the pot: This is something I couldn't decide on at first. Adding post rewards on the pot will make things less fun. But they may go a long way at the first phases. So I decided to have them stay as well.
- The finish line: 1,000,000 HP in my account.
- Donations: I don't want people to donate me free stuff or hp or whatever to build my way up since it will make things less challenging and fun. But hey! I can't force you to not donate.
