Since I am always investing into the HIVE system, I never try anything out to devest. I can say that it was a little bit of work, but to clean up some left over STEEM, I used https://exchange.ionomy.com/ - I just transferred it off of Steemit into my STEEM ionomy wallet, and from there exchanged it for BTC or other.. Then just transferred it into my Coinbase wallet were I could cash out. Not sure if that would work or not for HIVE or HBD.. They do have wallets available for that on their site. Not sure.. May have to try it out when I have time... lol
We ended up getting about 5" of snow last storm, so I broke out my Toro. And your right.. very satisfying to clear it all off and out of the way :)
