indeed, that does appear to be the case, @benthomaswwd. This situation could be resolved, but it continues to worsen.

Well, there is a difference between backing and being pegged to the value of another asset, with one requiring the backing assets to exist for circulating asset supplies, while the other does not require backing, but rather a means of maintaining value parity with the source asset. Also, backing an asset with a fiat currency, which is based on debt, is not a good idea. HBD maintains its peg to the US dollar simply by @hbdstabilizer buying or selling HIVE and HBD on the internal market. If the fiat value of HBD goes above $1, then it sells HBD, and if it goes under $1, it buys HBD.

Regarding taxes, the vast majority are unlawful, and governments have no right collect, or to enforce the collection of them. Government should have nothing to do with our personal finances.

Yes, I believe that you're right, Ben, setting things up the way that we are will be well worth the extra time.

On the possibility of Hive failing, I really, really, really don't want that to happen, but if it does, we will regroup and rebuild somewhere else.

Rat-lung worm is common here, and is usually contracted by eating fruits of greens that came in contact with snails or slugs. I've had it twice in my 7+ years living here.

Have a beautiful Saturday, brother. 😁🙏💚✨🤙
