Weekly HSBI and DUO Token Giveaway, Week 69!

Looks like I'm finally getting this posted on the right day again, back to Sunday. I am feeling somewhat better today, at least so far this morning. So I decided to get this put together early in the day. It looks like this week we had some new participants, I want to wish you a warm welcome. I'm glad to see everyone is enjoying this little project still, this week we had 43 people participate. Thanks everyone!

The responses to last week's entry questions were great, and much more varied than I ever would have imagined. I threw some fun stuff in there, so enjoy my review of the answers. I started this initiative to give back to the Hive community that has treated me so well over the last couple of years. I hope it helps you all grow your accounts and create wealth.

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

Now for the summary of last week's responses, it's fun, I promise:

Car

autonews.com

guidediagramspatted.z21.web.core.windows.net

This was the all out winner this week! We had lots of varieties mentioned from just "car", convertible, electric, speedy, etc. I lumped them all together into one. First image is the very sporty all electric Tesla to fit a few of those categories. Then I included a nice Ford Pinto for the rest of you with just a car. It's a lovely shade of avocado! I'm sure some of you remember the problem with the Pinto? The gas tank was in the rear of the vehicle and on occasion when hit hard from behind it would explode. That made me think of the old movie Top Secret! starring Val Kilmer before he was a star. They made fun of the Pinto for just that defect. It's only 8 seconds but still funny as hell to watch!

Thank to @olaf.gui , @flummi97 , @melinda010100 , @silverd510 , @holdeck2 , @mytechtrail , @geneeverett , @chaosmagic23 , (electric) @borniet , @hafiz34 , @roswelborges (convertible) , and @lumpiadobo (fast) for this fun choice!

Plane

forums.x-plane.org

Who doesn't dream of having their own private jet to fly anywhere around the world whenever you want to... No airport lines, no rowdy passengers, no crowds... Sounds like a dream come true until you see what they cost, very expensive maintenance, and paying the fuel cost to travel. I may be stuck with commercial aviation, but when you need to travel long distances it's the best way to travel!

Great pick by @okarun , @ronnie10 , @henruc , @ladymisa , @ivyann , @doombot75 , and @tortangkahoy .

Train

merriam-webster.com

Okay, not quite a bullet train, but until the last fifty years these were common place in most places around the world. Train rides can be a lot of fun and usually more comfortable than a long bus ride. I've done both versions in Europe and would take the train any day. Unfortunately, I've never been able to ride a high speed train as of yet. There aren't any here in the US as of now, although they are building one here in California that is taking forever and is way over cost.

Thanks for this pick by @sylmarill , @servelle , @katriel1 , and @blitzzzz .

Motorcycle

autoevolution.com

We had three picks for motorcycle, technically four if we count @bigorna1 with his dirt bike. I've never been a motorcycle guy, mostly because I've known too many people who died riding them. But I know Harley Davidson is one of the most popular brands out there, and then there are the Indian fanatics. A few other brands sneak in there too. This one is a custom Harley, not quite a chopper but still a good looking bike. Thanks to @silvertop , @freed99 and @monsterbuster for this pick!

Walking

colourbox.com

Probably the healthiest way to get around is walking. I still like to walk when I can, but in southern California it's not very practical. Still, I am a big proponent of walking, it's great for your heart and waist line. Thanks for this pick @dd1100 , @myriam-clotilde and @alexvan .

Teleportation

This would be an awesome way to travel, no traffic or airports... A dream come true, maybe someday. Great pick by @ladyaryastark and @gwajnberg . My only concern would be what happens when something goes wrong, This scene from Spaceballs says everything:

For times sake I'll have to leave the rest in list form, all awesome choices though!

Limousine: @yusmelys

Metro: @sissim72

Bicycle: @beelzael , @dailyspam

Flying saucer: @cositav (as long as you aren't being abducted a very cool idea)

Cable car: @silversaver888 (classic San Francisco style)

Ferry: @tengolotodo

Sailboat: @florakese

Speedboat: @hatdogsensei

Spaceship: @longganisan (again, very cool as long as your not abducted by aliens)

Now for today's entry question...

What is your favorite African safari animal? The kind of animals you could see if you could afford an African safari?

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 favorite African safari animal? The kind of animals you could see if you could afford an African safari?

HSBI

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 13, 2025 at 8 A.M. California Pacific Time.
