Beautiful friday to you my people.
How are you all doing today? Last week, we discussed about Asuu Strike. We focused our discussions on the Academic Staff union of universities in Nigeria. How difficult it is studying in a Nigerian federal university. I enjoyed reading the comments and i feel happy every time i think of how much bond this engagement has helped us create.
Thank you all for sharing your lovely opinions.

Topic Of Discussion - Hive's Second Birthday/SPK Network.
Yay! The Hive Blockchain is 2 years old. It's two years since the hard fork from steemit. Two years since true decentralization started. In such a short time, there has been alot of decentralized applications, and many more are on their way.
Personally I have written about how much Hive means to me on several occasions. It's such a privilege to be here at this point in time.
So today till Sunday, we would be discussing about Hive. Let's talk about our Hive Goals. The ones we've completed and the new ones we've set. Alongside the Hive discussions, I want us to share our knowledge about one of the outstanding network built on the Hive Blockchain; The @spknetwork!
They would be hosting a celebration for Hive's second birthday on Sunday. You can join in for the live event on Sunday 16:00 UTC (5pm Nigerian time). There will be lot of giveaways and explanations on how the network runs.
Wait! I'd tell you a little about the Spknetwork and share the party venue with you. I'm sure some people would give more insights in the comments section.
The SPK Network is a decentralized Web 3.0 protocol that rewards value creators and infrastructure providers appropriately and autonomously by distributing reward tokens in such a way that every user, creator, and platform, will be able to earn rewards on a level playing field.
The 3speak video application runs on the Spk network.
You can read the SPK NETWORK LIGHT PAPER
A snapshot of your hive balances has been taken on the 6th of January this year and everyone with a hive balance on that day would be able to claim the new LARYNX MINER TOKEN!
To find out what LARYNX MINER TOKEN is and how to claim it, endeavour not to miss the birthday party!

I'm really grateful today new be initiated for letting us write about hive goal back then..
So far I ve able to power up over 900 but then..1000 was the target..
I had to pwer down for some diversification opportunities I saw and then continued my runs. I m sure soon we LL get there and surpass it.
As for 3speak, and the SPK network.. I m grateful they existed o, man for just dey play guitar until YouTube for nothing oo.. lol.
Hive is a place I find expression for everything I really want to express. Learning and earning never felt better.
Oh my, he was close to 1000HP 🥺 Someone was closed to my dream HP. Beautiful. You are doing well. Glad to know you are diversifying too.
And I am happy for you because Hive helps you find your expressive self and I agree, the learning over here feels better. 💞
That's the beauty.. it took some discipline tho.
Learnt so much, made a lot of misttakes, got a lot of questions.
I m glad he entire community always helps to guide and answer questions..
I completely understand. And I admire your ability to stay discipline. Without taking your eyes off the goals, and of course the price. Well done.
You are do well yourself too.
Thanks ❤️
😆 I was also on YouTube, thank God for hive oh
So really, I am older than HIVE and I see lots of the capability. I think I need to be more serious with my life.... Thats by the way.😁
Actually, I may not be one who has set goals for HIVE. In fact, I guess, it is because of the newbies initiative that I am now learning how to set and achieve goals not only on HIVE but in our day-to-day lives.
I have some unwritten goals, of which are to engage every day - previously I did not set a number to it but I now set it to at least 15 posts per day. In fact, every day I come online there are certain people I have the ritual of checking their blogs every day and engaging them; including communities. Just before this week started, I set a goal to post for 7 days at a stretch, although I had some posts I delayed to this week but somehow starting from the last Monday I have just 3 posts - I know I am halfway short of that! But I believe as I go on, I'd be more goal-oriented!!
Lol. He said he is older than Hive yet look at the Hive's capabilities. It's funny you know. But that shouldn't scare you.
You might be older than Hive but this is a system and a platform that if you take it seriously will help discover you have the capacity to do a lot of things.
You have to believe me. I have been here long enough to see the proof for myself. These days, I wonder just how I moved from someone who couldn't come up with posts for certain days of the week to making posts everyday.
You will find that Hive let's you be who you were, but, it adds a bit of icing on the cake of your talents, skills, and passion. Take it seriously dude.
Honestly, I still wonder how people do post everyday - quality ones. I think with all these advices I am close to becoming better.
Thanks mama @iskafan
You are welcome darling. 💞
True and at them same time you need to be committed to your goals , it a different thing to set and another thing to follow up that way you'd see yourself achieving your goals
Really, there are just two different worlds one needs to hold in. Thank you very much, @ijohnsen
You are welcome champ.
Na you o.. You indirectly motivated me for thst 70 reputation..
Eiiiiiii
Very well then
It's quite surprising to know that Hive is just 2years old. For real I've always thought that Hive has been here for a long time now, wow. Two years really feels like a decade, the level of growth has been tremendous, it's been a back bone to a lot of people's lives, I wonder how it'll be in the next 10years with all the new projects coming up. Men, I'll love to still be here for years to come.
Concerning goals, I've really sucked at it, typical for a lazy dude like me. Setting goals actually puts you up to working towards achieving them. I've actually been really unable to track my growth because I haven't had anything set up to achieve.
But I'm glad to be part of the initiative for a start. I've actually been thinking about the goals I'm gonna set, I'm a little scared though, what if I'm not going to achieve them all, how would I feel, would I be moved to set more goals or would I be ready to give up??..I wouldn't know untill I try. So I'll be setting goals...I'm aiming to get to a reputation of 64 at the end of 3months and possibly reach 600HP. I'm scared but then I'm ready to work towards them..
About the apk network, I've been reading comments to try to understand how it works..I really don't know how it works and I'm really unhappy that I'll be missing out on the whole airdrop..
Great to be here after a while..I miss y'all ...and I mean that from my heart 💜
Well, I'll advise you to set your goals and work towards them, know that everything is achievable if you put your mind to it.
Don't fret okay.
Sure, advice taken, from the moment onward I'm going to work towards achieving my goals .it's very possible. .. thanks a lot dear ❤️
You are welcome, if you need help, you can always holla.
I'll take you up on that soon my dear
Setting goal comes with commitment I feel the goals help to bring in the commitment
Yeah you're right bro, the goals makes you put in the work so yeah, it cannot be neglected
Well I can understand your own point of view in setting goals, you just assumed yourself to be a lazy dude as you out mentioned and afraid to try too.
Just give it a try and make sure your goals are simple and achieveable too.
You will see how strong and powerful you're.
Men, thanks a lot for the encouragement my friend, setting goals surely would give me the power to want to do more..I'm so setting them right now
You better set goals before I knock your head 🙄😒. My knock will bring stars to your eyes, therefore, don't make me knock you 🙄😏
Its nice you joined the initiative. If you do take it seriously, it will take you seriously.... Lol... I am saying rubbish 😂😂
But I think there is a bit of sense somewhere 😃
😂😂
See this black girl o, who do you want to knock with those hands.. abeg no even try am.
Well there's a lot of sense there and I'm willing to take it quite seriously
Mad man, comot here. In your mind, you get strength 😒
😂😂😂
Calm down you're using curse words, 😏😏
Comot here ooo 😏
Would it be totally bad for me if I say I have no hive goal.
Sincerely, I had no goal when I joined, still don't ,maybe because I just didn't want to pressure myself. i Did not want to see hive like an assignment that I have to show up for but a platform where I gist and make friends and just be me but with pay from time to time😉.But I see lots of people getting goals and hitting them back to back.. kudos to you guys. Maybe I should work on setting hive goals for myself but I don't really know how or where to start from .
won't mind Some tips @iskafan @khaleesi.
Even at that I cannot over emphasise enough how much of a blessing hive has been to me these few months and it's just 2 years old that a shook. I wonder how my mental health would be right now if I didn't have hive to run to, for entertainment, information and premium gist.
My safe haven.
I am really glad to be here jare... Like super glad I found hive.
This part got me,I actually feel the same way sometimes I just come and pour out my thought
I'm glad to be here too
Oh, it's nice Hive is your safe haven. And it keeps you sane at the same time. That's lovely.
Maybe, if you did had goals, hive will be more fun. It's just that you'll always have something to look forward which I already know you do. But this time, it will be different.... I don't know how to explain it though. 🤗
Hmm ok let's see how it goes
No problem. All the best darling. 💚
We are all glad we found, no jokes it has really been a blessing.. setting a goal is always nice it will help you grow faster..like how many followers or HP do you want to earn at a particular time.
I don't think having followers matter a lot especially to me because I engage a lot with people that ain't follower too..
Maybe HP but I am not very particular about it yet
Yea true tho
You really don't have to set goals, I am trying not to do that anymore because of the pressure it puts, makes hive feel like a job.
Just keep doing you, you are already doing amazingly.
Thanks girl
You are welcome.
Well, first of all, I was looking forward to the week's engagement, I was having a boring day but thankfully I got the tag.
Now to talk about hive's second birthday.
Who would believe that hive is literally a toddler with all things it has done, not me at all.
Hive is an amazing platform with so many many avenues to stand out and diversify which I have richly benefited from.
I would always say that hive legit changed my life and brought me where I am, I am sure a lot of people feel the same way.
I have made so many friends from all around the world and I wouldn't have done that without hive.
For my hive goals
I have achieved quite a lot I set; currently at a reputation of 65, I am diversifying and finding my edge in so many communities and I am also making connections on hive which is as good as it can get.
For the goals I want to achieve; I think the main one is becoming a minnow, also I want to give more so I am trying to get involved in more projects.
Lastly about the @spknetwork, as someone who has been using three speaks a lot, I can't even begin to talk about how convenient it is, I was creating content on YouTube so I should know.
Anyways before this gets too long, I am looking forward to the airdrop 😊 so I'll definitely be on twitter.
Well, it would be live on discord...don't miss the party venue lol
Where's the venue again? 😆
I thought it was twitter
The discord server! I shared it up there
I'll check it, I didn't notice it, thank you sam 😊
I saw the venue but no date 🥺
How boring has your day been? Mine has been cold too.
I have been lying down all day, haven't eaten, have showered, no power, so you can imagine.
I wish it was cold here, it's so damn hot.
Its not cold here ooo... my day is cold, I meant it is not exciting lol.
Anyway I just finished eating now
Oh 😆 be using English on me oh, it's aright, send me some food abeg
How is it possible for someone to not shower on a hot day 👀👀
I am tired woh, leave me alone.
Sorry ma, I don comot hand for your matter. 😒
Good child.
Well, who knows she could be a firebender ...🚶
Pls if you ever feel bored, am good at gossiping and can make your day.
Lighten up dearie, don't let the limitation of light and Nigerian factor make you bored
Where can I find you, telegram?
Discord, Monica-ene#6220
I'll add you up.
You're doing well.... very well actually.
Thank you so much Sam, I am trying to learn from you.
When I saw that Hive has only been 2 years old I was shocked because I have seen people celebrating 3-4 years on the blockchain 🥺
Let me go and snoop around people's wallets first 🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think most were on steem-it or something, even I was shocked.
Go and snoop oh, make your eye no blind sha.
Oh. I see. No wonder.
Lol. I am going 😅🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️
Go and tell me what you find.
Ah, its the 3-4 years for me.😂. Maybe they were its predecessor.
More free money to you (airdrop) in Jesus name 😂😂...
Me am just here to laugh and encourage the unfulfilled goals to get back to work.
Hope you don't mind, this is on a lighter mood.
Amen oh, I don't mind oh, I need all the encouragement I can get.
But wait, why do I feel attacked and maybe motivated at the sight of the unfulfilled goals??
Hey @khaleesii I must say you're right, Hive sure has been here for not too long and the impact on the lives of others have been felt a great deal.
I believe in you, being a minnow is sure not far away... you'll achieve that goal pretty soon..keep up the good work ❤️✅
Exactly, hive Is truly amazing.
Also, thank you so much, soon enough ill be there, can't wait.
You're welcome my dear
I love the fact you have the intention of giving back. But I'd advise @khaleesii when the time comes do not forget!! What is a minnow by the way? Is it like all these orca, whale etc. I have been hearing?
What time comes? Giving back isn't about money you know.
Also yeah, a minnow is part of those phrase you hear
Yes, it is more than money..True, it is.
I get that minnow now. But how are they ranked??
Check hive buzz for the ranking I think.

Omo it weekend again
Two years and the blockchain is doing well must be hard work.
My hive goal started with newbie initiative with me trying to have 70 reputations within space of three months clueless me thought it was that easy lol
You wouldn't blame would you I was a newbie then.
But then the newbie initiative did pave way and brought more commitment
I hard a goal of making 10 engagements every day and so far have been able to achieve that ever since I joined hive.
One thing about engagement is it exposes you to more opportunities and create more visibility and yes it comes with bond.
70 😆 I would have loved to see that magic happen to be honest.
Aiswer down 😂😂
😆 it was possible sha
With massive engagement and lot of upvotes.
Exactly
70?
Of course it's quite achievable, you just have to put in more work and earn more upvotes from people with higher reputation and you're good to goal. As sabi boy wey you be engagement shouldn't be a hard task but I'm impressed you've kept it up for a while now..keep going bro ❤️✅
@chincoculbert man it been a while...
Yeah that the spirit
You are just 10 rep away from 70 and I can see you getting there soon, Champ. You are a winner, remember, therefore, you've got this. Fighting!!! 😎
