What is the simplest way to buy HBD?
I'd like to know that myself!!

Looks like you're doing pretty good! Keep up the great work!

What do you wish you had known or understood about Hive before you started?
The one thing I wish I understood (not necessarily before) when I got on hive was how to get my fiat to hive. At the time I joined (steem before hive) it was like everyone I asked gave me short, incomplete answers. They told me where to go but not how to do it. That upset be cause at that time I could have built my Hive much larger than it is now.

What's been your biggest learning since opening your account?
Well, there's a few things. How to get my fiat to hive, about delegating to help build my hive & now about liquidity pools. I'm still learning that though.

What advice would you give to someone starting out?
That depends on if they are investing or not.
For the investor - Get your hive to at least 1K HP then delegate to projects that pay you a return in hive, but only delegate 500 & keep 500 for your own power. then grow yourself through following others & posting regularly. Once daily if you can but at least 3-4 times a week. Lastly, once you build a nice portfolio of second layer tokens, get into liquidity pools. They also help to build your hive & other secondary tokens.
For those who aren't investing - be patient, it will happen! grow your connections & be active daily, curate (like) others post & comment as much as possible. Make sure to do an introductory post so people will know who you are and that your new.
For all - comment & curate as much as possible, building your connections are important. Join giveaways & play games. All these things will build you up on hive.
