Follow Friday: More green than black

in #hive2 years ago

The News

The big news is that $HIVE has hit new highs this week. Earlier today it was worth over one billion dollars.

Dr Evil

No, I said ONE BILLION!

This graph is getting more interesting as Hive breaks away from the chain it forked from. Hive has the community and the development. I will not surprised if the price drops a bit, but we could find a new base level.

Prices

You can learn more about the history of Hive from this video where @starkerz talks to Charlie Shrem. Does Charlie have an account here?

Friday Followings

  • @dickturpin has been posting stories of when he was a taxi driver. I would expect a few wild tales around that, but he has a way with words.
  • I post my runs to the @exhaust dapp, but they are having some issues with people trying to abuse it to get votes. Rewards need to be earned and posting fake activities should be discouraged.
  • Iranian rapper @sooud has joined Hive via his friend @davidfar. I love that Hive gives us an insight into other cultures.
  • @the-bitcoin-dood introducted me to this blockchain, but we only recently talked to each other when we met at @hivefest. He also did a #FollowFriday post last week.
  • We are into the final week of #NaPodPoMo where the challenge is to post a postcast for every day of this month. I have kept up so far. @epodcaster started this challenge some years ago and has been using it this year to talk about what Hive offers.

These people will get a share of the post rewards.

The Podcast

I recorded a short podcast with my reaction to the improved $HIVE price.

The Doghouse

We see all sorts of abuse of Hive. You may have received a small wallet transfer from @earn.hive who ask you to vote for their witness. I cannot see that they are doing anything for Hive. I think they avoid posting to deny us the chance to downvote them for this wallet spam. It seems some people fall for the promise of rewards for their vote, but it is frowned upon for witnesses to pay people like this. There are plenty of good witnesses who need your support. You can see who I vote for if you scroll down this page. You can set me as voting proxy if you like. I try to use all thirty of my votes on people who do good work.

The End

These are exciting times for Hive and we should use this opportunity to tell more people about it. Hive is about opportunities.

Hive five!

Sort:  

I occasionally get hbd and hive from the reward app?
I have no idea what it is or why I'm getting these rewards?
There are so many dapps and tokens it's almost impossible to keep up with what is happening.

Nice to see Hive finally getting some recognition that is not tied to the price of Bitcoin. 😋👍

I get various rewards for no obvious reason. I'll take it anyway. It's crazy to see what my account is worth now. We are into serious money territory, but I still don't plan to cash out yet. Will just see if I really need it some time.

!BEER

I've got no plans to cash out anytime soon. I'm working on a dapp that I think might be useful and could lead to mass adoption?
Thanks for the beer Steve 😋👍


Hey @molometer, here is a little bit of BEER from @steevc for you. Enjoy it!

Hey Steve, been a while. Looks like there's a buzz around the Hive now - see you've been supporting some of the new music producers on here like @tdctunes so thanks for that. Been seeing his vids pop up.

Hope everything is good with you and you're still running!

It's an exciting time and I'm having fun. I was at parkrun this morning that was fun. Hope you are well.

!BEER

Good man! I'm tempted to get back in to the running in the new year. I'm good mate, swapped running for tennis these last few months and have enjoyed getting back in to the "swing" of things 🎾

Running through the winter can be tough, but I really feel I need to get outside. parkrun is an incentive for doing it. I may even run on Christmas day.

Lol, yeah, playing tennis is tough when it's outdoors as well but I know how you feel about getting outside, you got to give yourself Xmas day off though, treat yourself haha! Hopefully when I move house, I'll be a lot closer to our local park run here and so I won't have an excuse... in theory!

Yep - @steevc has been super supportive and (in my opinion) a model of what it means to be a good player on Hive that I am trying to follow! Have a great weekend @nickyhavey!

!PIZZA

As long as you keep your content original, you'll be flying mate! Have a good one too, stay safe with the storm out there hey!

Storm seemed to mostly miss London - hope you're all good!

Here's to flying and Hive!

!PIZZA

Yeah thankfully we weren't too badly affected! Had some snow this morning but will be a toasty 12C tomorrow (Tuesday) so getting the t-shirt and shorts out for sure 😆

Yep warmer today - I'd best get back to doing things for my challenge to extend summer!

!PIZZA !ALIVE !BEER

@nickyhavey! You Are Alive so I just staked 0.1 $ALIVE to your account on behalf of @tdctunes. (1/10)

The tip has been paid for by the We Are Alive Tribe through the earnings on @alive.chat, feel free to swing by our daily chat any time you want.


Hey @nickyhavey, here is a little bit of BEER from @steevc for you. Enjoy it!

Learn how to earn FREE BEER each day by staking your BEER.

I think it's reasonable to take a little profit at this nice price point. Especially so I can show to my wife that this comic & Hive endeavor of the past few years is not the waste of time she thinks it is! 😉

That said, there is a core position amount that I don't plan on selling, and I would caution anyone against cashing everything out at this point (or just in general, really).

I'm not against people taking a profit. I have done so in the past, but am not desperate right now. For some it can make a real difference to their lives.

It was a bit interesting to see the price jump up like that. It looks like things have fallen back down again. Something about a new variant of covid? Who really knows. They will try to pin everything on anything.

The price is still well over $2. Not sure what COVID has to do with it. Who says it's a factor? Who is 'they'?

Mainstream media. I don't necessarily believe it, but I have had several stories come across my feed from a couple different sources pointing to that. I have a feeling this is just a small consolidation before we start churning up again to the end of the year.

There were so many ambiguities in your last comment I was not sure what you were talking about. I would not expect 'mainstream media' (as opposed to random people online?) to be reporting on the HIVE price. I would not lump all journalists in the same pot anyway. I pick the sources I trust based on past performance.

Crazy times indeed - at least the first time I've experienced something like this since I've been on Hive. Trying to get my head round the implications still.

I've never noticed anything from earn.hive but I know now not to take any notice of it - thanks for the heads up as always!

Have a great weekend @steevc!

!PIZZA !BEER

It adds to the fun :) If you are not powering down it makes little difference apart from increasing the value of your vote, but it can get more people interested.

!BEER

I've noticed some other knock on effects too - for example a lot of 2nd later tokens are cheaper than normal and it seems like a good time to buy Rising Star cards - presumably from people selling so they can sell some Hive and take a bit of profit.

I wonder if we'll get an influx of new people on Hive from this - let's see..

!PIZZA

We may well see more activity as people try to profit from it. That can cause some spam.

Ok interesting. That made me just realised I literally see no spam at all since I subscribed to a white/black list. Even before that it was highly rare.

Have a great day Steeve!

Hive actually has a pretty low rate of spam for now. Considering people will be desperate for votes you might expect more, but we shall see how it goes.

Thanks for the #FollowFriday !LUV and for joining the podcast marathon that is #NaPodPoMo.😃

Only four days to go!

a nice mix of interesting people to follow and hive news as always. Thanks @steevc

You are most welcome. It's fun doing these.

I'm wondering what made Hive jump. That will help us know if it is going to stay up or drift back down. I'm with you I expect it to drop back down, but looking for a new base. !LOLZ

I don't think the flounder I caught today was very happy with me.
He kept looking at me kinda sideways.

@steevc, I sent you an $LOLZ on behalf of @captaincryptic
Use the !LOL or !LOLZ command to share a joke and an $LOLZ. (1/6)

The markets can be very fickle, so we shall just have to see. I still think it's important to promote Hive and encourage the newbies.
