Today seems to be a good opportunity to convert your steem to hive

So I had my last chunk of steem powered down and transferred to bittrex and was waiting for an opportunity to convert to hive. And finally today, I got equivalent hive or a little more actually. I had opened the sell order and it got filled earlier. And just few mins back, my hive order got filled.

If you can see, I sold 1942 steem and got 1946 hive. And this actually contains steem from two other people who was not very confident on how to convert their steem to hive. So I had spoken to them sometimes back, when I started power down and had asked them to power down as well. And I even told them to change their hive keys and then share the steem keys with me ( Just to be sure, I do not abuse their funds). They had confidence on me, but I still did not want to take a risk, so insisted they change their keys and only after that, give me the steem keys.

Now I will transfer the hive to their account and getting equivalent amount of hive makes my job easy. Though they are not very active on hive now, I still expect them to come back. I will persuade them to delegate their hive power to some curation accounts and earn some passive accounts. That way, at least they will earn something instead of nothing.

If you have steem, then I think, today is a very good opportunity to convert them. And by the way, I was also able to help @face2face by delegating some hive power to him. I was not aware of all these leasing stuffs, but then we discussed over twitter and I was able to fulfill his request. Of course this is a new way of earning for me, but I was not worried about delegating earlier. So something new learnt today.
