Yeah, I have seen a bit of grumbling on the 20% interest on HBD savings. It is a very generous reward for what is quite a safe investment, and I think it takes quite a lot to keep HBD pegged to the dollar and increasing at 20%!
Theoretically a more volatile investment like HIVE should pay off more in the long run because it is risky, but it has yet to be seen if the average increase in the HIVE price will be better than 20% in the long run.
We should be tempted more towards staking HP, because that's when our vote starts to count and we give back to the community. However, even when I curate a lot, the rewards would struggle to reach about 10% of my HP per year... and so I would have to hope that the HIVE/HP increase over time can make up the difference - I guess we haven't seen that yet, but maybe we're just about to?
That's the problem - if I can get 20% from HBD savings, that's better than most risky investments in the real world... so I could easily settle for that and never become a powerful curator giving back to the community by staking HP...
