Clickbaity title aside, I actually noticed something. Not strange. But worthy of note.
Ever since all the cryptocurrencies tanked by 50%, Publish0x had the minimum withdrawal for BAT and Hydro doubled.
We all know this and saw it coming. Since the cryptocurrencies lost half of their value, it would require 2x their current value to return to their previous value. Hence the reason we have to get double of the previous minimum withdrawal.
However, I noticed that it has also gotten a whole lot easier to give, as well as get more BAT than usual.
I noticed that my tips were now twice the BAT as before....and so were my earnings!
A post that previously had 0.25 dollars in tips was mostly comprised of 1BAT, as well as other cryptocurrencies.
But now, a post with $0.25 in tips is now made up of almost 3 BAT, as well as other cryptocurrencies.
With BAT at half the price, this is more or less the perfect time to get more money without doing any extra work.
We all know the real value of BAT. Getting 2x for the price of one is a great deal, and one that I can't pass aside.
However, this development actually made Hydro a lot harder to withdraw. The minimum withdrawal for Hydro is around 1700HYDRO tokens, which is impossible to get in a week, or even 3.(at least for me)
I mostly hedge my Hydro in DAI(by converting it to DAI), and that practice helped me retain my hydro's actual amount. So I can buy back double of my hydro for the same price!
What do you think of this development?
