Weekly HSBI and Multiple Token Giveaway, Week 77!
It's hard to believe it's already Sunday, where did the week go? Fortunately, here in the US we have a long weekend since tomorrow is Labor Day. It's a celebrations of the American workers and is celebrated the first Monday of September every year. Since it's a national holiday most of us will have the day off. I always appreciate a day off even if my schedule isn't all that horribly busy anyway these days!
Onto the giveaway for this week. This is week 77 of this little project that started as a small way for me to give back to the Hive community who has been so kind to me over the years. I hope it also serves to help all of you further grow you accounts here and move your way up the ranks towards becoming whales yourselves! I'm not there yet, I'm only a dolphin, but I am working my way up too!
I recall the first couple of weeks I did this giveaway I only had five or six people entering. I really thought after a couple months I would end up calling it quits, but it's grown and grown. This week we had 56 names on the Wheel of Names, really not too bad. I believe the record is 73! First off I need to send out some gratitude to the supporters of this giveaway who add to the prizes that I offer!
First off I want to send my gratitude to @alohaed and @beelzael for being kind enough to sponsor some HSBI prizes for the winners of the regular spins number two through five. And @melinda010100 is kind enough to throw in an HSBI unit to the winner of the ARCHON tokens in Spin 6! Thank you everyone for all of 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 all of these projects pretty heavily, just a disclaimer!
Questions about DUO or PIMP feel free to contact me.
PIMP is an awesome token created by a very cool cat @enginewitty . It's backed by physical silver and BTC, no other second layer token can boast that!
For more information on CCD tokens, they are the currency from @cryptocompany created by @powerpaul . Check out the website: https://cryptocompany.ceo/

Now for the summary of last week's responses about !
Japan
sg.style.yahoo.com
The most popular pick for a dream vacation by far was Japan. I wouldn't mind going there myself, but I haven't made it there yet. It's may look small on the map but it's a big country. In the south they have tropical islands to forests in the north. It looks like a beautiful place! Thanks for recommending such a great place for a dream vacation to:
@cumanauta , @servelle , @ekavieka @henruc @memess , @olaf.gui , @jorgebgt and @lanzjoseg
Maldives

What a beautiful island vacation destination! This was the second most picked destination. Most of my personal island living was in the Caribbean, so this would be a whole new experience. I'll have to add this one to the bucket list of places to visit! I can only imagine how great the beaches and reefs are, it must be a great place to go diving! Thanks for recommending such a nice place to:
@middle-earthling , @davideownzall and @blitzzzz
Machu Picchu
57hours.com
Machu Picchu was a popular pick as well. This high mountain destination in Peru is something for everyone to experience at least once. It's an amazing place to visit! It's 7,970 feet (2,430 meters) in elevation and was build around 1,450 AD. It must have been amazingly difficult to build the city at that elevation and hauling all the stones up the mountain! Thanks for this great choice by:
Hawaii
nationalgeographic.com
Another popular pick was Hawaii. Ironically, in all my years of island living and hopping I've never made it to Hawaii. It's a beautiful chain of island in the Pacific Ocean and a part of the US. There is fantastic diving and more beaches than you can count Definitely a great vacation destination! Thanks for this pick to:
@rosauradels and @hatdogsensei
Virgin Gorda
glasshousebvi.com
Okay, I'll admit it. None of you chose Virgin Gorda, but it's one of my favorite islands on the planet. Located in the British Virgin Islands it's home to the famous baths National Park. It's an amazing area of pristine pools of warm and shallow waters to explore. It alone makes the trip worth while! All of the Virgin Islands are beautiful, the next best is St. Johns where 2/3 of the island is a park where no building can be done. It's beautiful! That is my personal pick, I don't throw them in very often, but why not today?
For the sake of time the rest I will have to do in list form. I would love to talk about all of them, but this post is already way too long! I did put some of my favorites in bold!

Now for this weeks entry questions:
What is your favorite form of exercise?
The Giveaway
I will be giving out one prize of five (5) HSBI. Second and Third prizes will be 1 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, fifth and sixth 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 you favorite form of exercise?
HSBI
If you are unfamiliar with the prize you can learn more here:
https://ecency.com/post/@steembasicincome/hive-sbi
Or check out my recent post:
https://labs.inleo.io/@thebighigg/hsbi-what-are-they-my-experience-and-a-starter-guide
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 over and over it is theoretically possible for the same person to win all of prizes! Although I have yet to see it happen, maybe this week?

One week from today which will be Sunday September 7, 2025 at 8 A.M. California Pacific Time.

Oooh, I'm so excited about my prize 🤗🤗...
Well, my favorite form of exercise is walking. Long walks are complete workouts that, besides achieving muscle toning and working as cardio exercises, also help to clear the mind and to reflect.
I'm glad you liked winning! I prefer walking now too, much easier on the joints and relaxing!

Thanks for the support and you're welcome! You got lucky again this week!
We do what we can when it comes to exercise, I most certainly can't do 21 mile marches like back in my Army days! lol

Thanks lots.
swimming
I'm surprised nobody chose the Galapagos Islands. That's one of the most iconic and beautiful spots on earth - and actually a a lot cheaper than most people think, if they don't need all the luxury.
As for exercise - a while ago it was running, then biking. Recently, I really enjoy going to the gym. Tomorrow I can finally go back, it's not easy to do it while Lily is here, as she doesn't enjoy the gym. And when she's with friends, I have to catch up on work. But school starts tomorrow, so I'll have 6h again each day to pursue my own endeavors.
Thanks for all the work you put into this!
!BBH
The Galapagos are such a cool place to visit! It's been years now... Having that extra time will make that gym time much easier! Thanks for the support, and I sent you some HSBI units off yesterday. It's easier doing it the day before! How's everything else going down in Ecuador?
Everything is pretty chill! School starts tomorrow, so yesterday we had a minga (collective work) where we cleaned the gardens and classrooms, and got everything ready. After that, I went to a Chili Cook off that a friend of me hosts. This time, there were 3 vegan chilis! Next time, I'm going to offer an extra award for the best vegan chili. Formerly, I never paid because I wasn't able to eat, anyway, and just drank. But this time I did, to support my friend as August was a slow month for everyone (start of classes is expensive, and people don't spend in August). And I could eat some! It was quite delicious!
That's a lot of vegan chili! I guess the vegan lifestyle has caught on down there in Ecuador as well! It's good of you to support them, back to school is tough on all parents. Especially with limited incomes!
Mostly it's younger expats who follow that lifestyle. But from time to time I meet someone local as well, who are always very happy to find a great vegan burger at my "ex" restaurant :-)
The only one I had enjoying is running 💨
congrats to the winner.

As for forms of exercise I largely prefer swimming, I mean, you can exercise AND explore a coral reef, it's just magic. Though lately most of the time I end up running 🥲.
That's the beauty of the living next to the Caribbean. I miss living in the islands!
Best regards and congratulations to the winners. My favorite exercise is sleeping and resting a lot, and sometimes I walk. Good luck, my friend.

recently the exercise im doing right now is jogging or walking.
Weightlifting. I do heavy lifting at the gym 3-4 days a week. I’ve been doing it for years now.
That's great! I do it at home now, after the COVID vaccine I developed an autoimmune muscle disease which ended my days of heavy lifting. Back in my Army days I could bench over 300!

Happy Labor Day, my friend!🤗
Hope you get a chance to enjoy a nice coffee, relaxing in the backyard!😊

My favourite form of exersinsing ?
Probably just swimming nothing extraordinary but it does the job !BBh
That's a really great initiative! It's so cool how you're giving back to the Hive community and helping others grow. Keep up the awesome work!
I love playing basketball. Especially 3x3.
Hello!
September kicks off with an interesting initiative that prompts us to reflect on times when sedentary lifestyles are multiplying, deteriorating the quality of life in our societies.
What is my favorite form of exercise?
Well, for many years, it has always been sports like baseball, soccer, and basketball. These sports, due to their anaerobic nature, contribute to having fun while exercising.
Another practice I have always embraced is Tai Chi Chuan, a martial art with an inexhaustible wealth of positive resources for health that is still underestimated in the Western world.
Congratulating the previous winners, I bid farewell for now with a big hug of light to everyone!
Fantastic! Thank you so much for the award.
Without a doubt, my favorite sport is diving. And I'm still capable of beating my kids at soccer.
Diving is a blast! I love it too!
!BBH
!PIZZA
Wonderful I could use those tokens to build up for that never-ending holiday !PIMP
Exercise? I hate exercising, but I dont mind swimming, I guess that counts...right?
As long as you don't swim like that penguin! lol
Thanks!
I play soccer, but right now that is not possible for me because of an injury.
Apart from that I like going to the gym.
I used to have British Virgin Island stamps as a kid, and you have been there! Now I can see why, and I want to go too!
Walking is my favourite, although I probably get more exercise at the gym it isn't my favourite, so yeah will plump for a good walk. Now with winter coming it does become more of an exercise battling through the wind and rain 🤣
Those hurricanes are fun to try to walk in! Been through a few over the years in the Caribbean... Winter is the best time to visit the Virgins, but also the most expensive. When I lived in Puerto Rico there were weekend specials on flights around the Caribbean for $29 round trip so I took advantage of going to the Virgin Islands frequently!
Walking on lousy days can really suck, fortunately where I live there aren't too many of those!
Yes that whole area the best time seems to be to visit is winter times. Now that was a deal of a round trip at $29!
Will be interesting as it is a 25 minute walk to the leisure centre and I haven't done in a horrid dark winter's evening yet 🤣
Doesn't sound like much fun in the cold and the dark, especially if it's windy! lol
Well I don't mind that, it is the fluffing rain that gets me..
Cold driven rain really does suck!
I am lazy. :) Does walking whilst shopping and holidaying count?
Congratulations @thebighigg! You received a personal badge!
Wait until the end of Power Up Day to find out the size of your Power-Bee.

Hmmm tough one to answer. Anything done repeatedly gets monotonous over time. I tend to like to be able to move fast while viewing the scenery, so it's rollerblading and cycling for me!
Congratulations to the winners!
I would prefer to "Walk"!

Does clicking a mouse count? If not, I choose walking 😅.
I really like to play football (soccer), do some calisthenics and that kind of exercise where you need a partner, a room and connect with each other.
My only exercise is running, it's the only thing I have time for. I run for 20 minutes
I really like calisthenics and doing squats, that's what I like.
