Hello everyone! I usually publish this on Sunday, but this week I have down with COVID round 2. Needless to say it sucks and I haven't felt up to even getting the post completed until today. Sorry for the delay, but the prizes all got sent out on Sunday.
The this morning disaster struck. My post I had started on Sunday magically vanished along with the wheel of names results. Fortunately I had sent the prized out so I found them that way. This past week there were 49 contest participant, getting close to the record of 52!
The whole purpose of the giveaway is to give back to the Hive community that has helped me grow my account over the last couple of years. It's good to see people growing their accounts, and I'm glad to be of some assistance!
As the number of participants has increased I've been adding prizes and bonus spins to make it more likely that everyone will have a chance to win. I want to take a moment to thank @alohaed and @beelzael for being kind enough to sponsor some HSBI prizes for the winners of the regular spins number two through five. I really do appreciate your support!
And as always I want to leave more information on the other tokens that are up as prizes as well so you can check them out. I'm invested in both of these projects pretty heavily, just a disclaimer!
For more information on CCD tokens, they are the currency from @cryptocompany created by @powerpaul . Check out the website: https://cryptocompany.ceo/
For more information on BBH, a project from @bradleyarrow please check out the post: https://peakd.com/@hive-112281
Last week's entry question was about your dream vacation destination, and Japan was the big winner by far.
Japan
hayesandjarvis.co.uk
Having never been to Japan I couldn't tell you much about it. The pictures have always looked beautiful and I've wanted to visit. I do know a few Hive users who live there like @dbooster and @boxcarblue . Doesn't that picture look amazing? Who wouldn't want to make that trip?
Hawaii
nextvacay.com
Hawaii has always been a popular tourist destination. Ironically, I've been pretty much everywhere in the the Caribbean, but never made it to Hawaii. I had an uncle who lived there part time and my cousin keeps wanting to move there. Maybe if he does I can go visit and crash on his couch. His wife would love that, not... One of these days I may yet make it to Hawaii too!
African Safari
love-and-i.com
Who wouldn't want to go on an African Safari and see all of the beautiful animals and the savannas. I've always dreamed of it too, but never had the chance to make this trip either. Maybe someday!
Normally I like to go through and tag everyone from the last week, however since I had to start over from scratch and I still don't feel great. Let's just move onto the contest!
https://images.ecency.com/DQmSu571fLt6wHSWqB3dXWNJBDAVFdYDfqEbHD7MMP6BgUh/image.png
Now for today's entry question...
What is your preferred mode of transportation? Do you prefer public transportation? Your car? Flying? You gets the jist!
The Giveaway
I will be giving out one prize of five (5) HSBI. Second and Third prizes will be 1.5 DUO tokens, the token I recently launched with @bulliontools and @bitcoinman . It offers those who stake sufficient tokens daily curation on quality posts, dividends, and a tipping bot. It also helps to onboard and retain new Hive members. At the end of the post there is a link to the white paper and where to purchase the tokens. Fourth prize is 100 BBH tokens. Fifth prize will be 250 CCD tokens. Sixth prize is 10 ARCHON tokens. To participate you need a reputation level of at least 25 and bots cannot win. And please one entry per person to make it fair to everyone.
I currently have sponsors who also kick in some HSBI units to the second, third, fourth, and fifth regular spin winners. None on the bonus spins. The sponsors can still enter the giveaway, however, if they happen to win on one of the spins they sponsor I will re-spin the wheel for another winner. You can't sponsor HSBI units to yourself!
If you would like to be placed on a weekly reminder list just let me know and I'll make sure you get tagged each week.

How to Enter
Every week this will change. I'm looking for engagement rather than just saying "I am in". There is no need to upvote or re-blog, although if you choose to do so I would appreciate it. This week's question is: What is your preferred mode of transportation? Do you prefer public transportation? Your car? Flying? You gets the jist

Choosing the Winners
All valid entries will be placed on the Wheel of Names and I will spin it four times. The first prize will be 5 HSBI units. The second and third prize will be 1.5 DUO tokens. Fourth prize will be 100 BBH tokens. Fifth prize will be 250 CCD tokens. Sixth prize will be 10 ARCHON tokens. And since I am spinning the same wheel four times in a row it is theoretically possible for the same person to win all four prizes! Although I have yet to see it happen, maybe this week?
Deadline
One week from today which will be Sunday July 6, 2025 at 8 A.M. California Pacific Time.

Ugh, I hate it when posts disappear like that. It's the worst and I seldom have the motivation to recreate my witty candor a second time! I started using hackmd.io just to be safe. It allows for markdown and it keeps stuff pretty safe in a pinch.
It was frustrating, I nearly didn't redo it because I'm still far from 100%. But I figured it's almost Sunday already. I'll have to check hackmd.io . I'm going to have to buy a new mouse too, this one is double and triple clicking. Time for a much needs new one!
Oh yeah, that is not good. It would be bad if you were doing some online shopping and bought something twice!
I just hope some day we could say "Teletransportation" but for the moment I would love moving just in helicopter 🚁 like the Petsident of my country does.
Ey! @myriam-clotilde participa pues de este sorteo, solo tenés que responder a la pregunta de ¿Cuál es tu medio de transporte preferido?
Greetings, I like to travel in a limousine, but in the meantime I use public transportation.. hehe
!UNICOIN
After visiting LA I prefer teletransportation!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You received an upvote of 100% from Precious the Silver Mermaid!
Please remember to contribute great content to the #SilverGoldStackers tag to create another Precious Gem.
My preferred mode of transportation is and has been for a very long time; dirt bikes.
getting where ever it is you go dusty and full of adrenaline. possibly also sweaty, muddy and so on.
love it ❤️
good luck everyone !
Nice !PIMP !DOOK
Awesome, I won! Thank you for the DUO.
!BBH !ALIVE
Thank you for the prizes!
I'd say car because it's the most convenient.
It's nice to win something from time to time hahaha
If I could fly myself I would choose that, but as I can't, I'll say it depends how far I will go. If it's really far, by plane, if it isn't that far, by car.
I love taking the train, because you see the landscapes around and it is actually quite comfortable ;D
!BBH
congrats to all! beautiful destinations!
Re. question of this week my favorite way to travel is by metro, whenever I can. Rome doesn't have a very extensive subway systemb unfortunately and it is usually overcrowded, but when possible, whether for short or long trips, I use it.
I avoid traffic, it's more sustainable than the bus, and I enjoy sitting and being gently rocked by the motion of the train.
Plus, I live near one of the terminal stations, so I always find a seat, and there's signal even underground: I put on my headphones, listen to music on YouTube, sit down, and read a good book.
And for half an hour, I forget the world and suddenly I'm on the other side of the city.
Hope you feel better soon, I am still at home with herpes virus.
Sending hugs 💛
My favorite is still the regular bike. Good old muscle power, combined with smart engineering, fresh air and a little bit of work out, all in one. Has its limits, as everything, but still - for the little town I live in, it's perfect.
Congrats to the winners, and thank you very much as always for hosting this!
Feel better, my friend, Covid really sucks!🙄
My favorite mode of transportation would have to be our six speed Suzuki!👍😊
You have to have a little fun in life Lol!!!😊
Generally I would prefer the car. But if the public transportation system (like train, bus, …) would be better in Germany I would definitely use them more because it is comfortable.
My preferred transportation would be walking. Safe and healthy. :)
I'm so sorry you have not been feeling well. I've missed you and hope you are back 100% very soon.
Congrats to all the Winners! @blitzzz enjoy the Archon tokens.
Road trip! By car is my favorite way to travel because I'm in control of my own agenda! Often it takes a plane to get me to my destination, but once I am there I prefer exploring in my own car.
I actually enjoy driving. It’s other people on the road that i don’t like. But I have no problem driving for hours. So truck or car is my answer.
That sucks you got it again. Feel better.
!pimp
Since learning to drive and having access to my own car, it has to be driving a car. I love the freedom. Time to start saving for the dream car…
!UNI
Me encanta caminar, y cualquier transporte que maneje otra persona.
Well I have to say car, I have probably driven every day over the last 52 years since I got my license.
I prefer the Train if possible, I feel safer

I haven't thought of this question before. But, I think airplane would be my selection for this one.
I'd lean towards flying. I value speed and efficiency, and air travel is the fastest way to cover long distances.
Hi, thank you very much for the award. I wish you better health soon.
My favorite transport is the motorcycle, I love to go out and ride it for a while and go to see other towns.
!PIZZA
Oh no!!!! My gosh... to have COVID twice!!! I guess I have been lucky. One of these days I'll get hit with it.
Well, get well, very well, okay, @thebighigg!
Well, my favorite is the cable car, especially in the evenings! Not so fast, anywhere you're seated, you get the cool breeze, especially during summer, and winters are a blast! I remember caroling the streets of San Francisco during Christmas... unforgettable!

I prefer to drive in my car. When it's far away for vacation I take an airplane. Occasionally I would take a train but it's often to loud and sometimes smelly.

My favorite transportation is my electric car, fast, smooth, pretty clean (when charged with solar)...
