Imagine a place where people come together, not just to share ideas, but to lift each other up. That’s Hive, a buzzing blockchain community where positivity shines, even when mistakes happen. Today, I want to share a short but inspiring story about one Hive member’s big heart and how it reminds us why this community is so special.
It all started with a @Hive-Echo Call To Action, a fun way for Hivians to engage and earn rewards. The plan was simple: @Minigunner, one of the community’s enthusiastic members, was giving 10% votes to everyone who joined the CTA. This meant rewards would be split equally through @Commentrewarder, ensuring fairness for all. But late one night, after hours of excitement, exhaustion got the better of Minigunner. In a sleepy slip-up, he accidentally gave @forkyishere a whopping 100% vote on his comment. That meant Forky was set to receive all the rewards from the CTA post and trust me, it was a hefty amount!
Now, here’s where the story gets good. @forkyishere, a beloved Hivian known for spreading positivity, took to X to share his excitement about Hive, as he always does. He mentioned the massive reward he’d received from @Hive-Echo. When we commented on his post, explaining the mistake, @forkyishere didn’t hesitate. Without a second of a thought, he asked, “How can we make this right?” He wanted to ensure everyone who participated got their fair share of the rewards.
Since Minigunner is currently on vacation, we’ll need to wait a week to sort out the details and distribute the rewards properly. But Forky’s instant willingness to do the right thing speaks volumes. In a world where greed can sometimes spark negativity and division, Forky’s actions are a reminder of what makes Hive truly unique: its people.
This small moment shows the strength of our community. It’s not just about rewards or recognition but it’s about trust, kindness, and working together. A huge thank you to @forkyishere for being a true Hive hero. Stories like this prove that when we choose fairness and generosity, we build a stronger, brighter community for everyone.
50% of the rewards from this article is going to @forkyishere 😍
Let’s keep the positive vibes going, Hive!
When Hivians realize that this place isn't only about earning crypto for blogging, but much more beyond, these kinds of stories become an everyday occurrence! I suppose that we have to highlight some great people here to inspire others more, to see the real value of HIVE... Not the one with the USD number in the end...
Thanks for sharing your story... Forky is a great guy, and I was lucky to meet him at HiveFest, Split!

Thank you for spreading good vibes! And thank you for all those words. It means a lot to me. And all I hope is for our atitudes do spread across the world. Ping me when he is back from vacation, and we can fix that. (on the great side, this made me go nuts sharing about it on the web2.0, so maybe I attracted some poor souls that might have found the amount too much than usual). At least it made it to the picture! :D
Yesterday (and before that day) when on #NFTOPIA5, had listened to some people and I sensed (at least on some private conversations) that the crypto community (especially the business creators) in general is a bit "tired" of trying and not finding any momentum to create and develop something they feel excited about. Most of the time, almost thinking they have to "find schemes" to get people onboarded, excited, etc... and all that special thing that we had "in the early days" of crypto, that atitude of "what a amazing technology this thing called blockchain is" isn't visible or vividly present anymore (at least in general when looking at the people I heard). Its a bit sad, because all I see on Hive, is this magical place made of very smart people, always looking to make Hive even better every day. And that get together was a perfect place for Hive to be... I hope we do more like that. There is a LOT of people that need to find out about Hive.
On the other hand those "lost" people are also an opportunity to influence at least, because if we are able to incentivize them to check us out, we might relight those sparks again and even better, change their mentalities to instead of just "brute force raising capital" make ideas a reality on where they make sense on the long term, on Hive or with Hive.
Was quite a memory lane moment this weekend. AND if it did anything to me, was to make me more certain (even if I didn't need that) I am not wasting my time for being on this chain.
Peace! 🫡
I love Hive for many reasons, but that's a big one, and I've seen it, and been part of it myself, many times! Together we're stronger! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
