Follow Friday: New year, new Hive?

The News

Welcome to the first #FollowFriday of 2024.

We start 2024 with $HIVE worth a little more than a year ago, but it has fluctuated a bit and this week everything dropped a bit. Volume has been fairly constant at around $1m per day. I know 'the other coin' trades more than that, but maybe it is people selling what they had. After all this time of practically no development 'over there' it is amazing that anyone stays. Hive is where it is at. I would encourage you to visit Coingecko each week and vote up $HIVE to keep it on 100% approval rating.

$HIVE

If you have used Bittrex then you may have had this email. As the previous one told me I only had 35c in there I had ignored it, but they say I would have to pay a 1% fee with a minimum of $20! I need to log in and close the account, but I have lost my 2-factor details and am waiting for them to re-verify me.

Email

You can see the Freechain movie made by @lordbutterfly in an online film festival. It is currently leading in the public vote.

Friday Follows

  • @frostdrop is the partner of @alonicus, who I met last year. She has posts about gardening and cooking already.
  • I found @sterlingux with my script I use with the #BritList. He has served in the army and has stories to tell.
  • @dickturpin has been here for a while, but can be erratic with his posting. He has done a few covering the Christmas period that may raise a smile.
  • @thetroublenotes are a band who have been here almost since the start and have stuck with Hive. You can find lots of great music here, so spread the word that it is a good place for musicians to be.

These folk get a share of the post rewards.

Resolve yourself

This is the traditional time to set some goals for yourself. Here are some suggestions for some you might want to achieve:

  • Introduce someone to Hive. If they join then they will need guidance to begin with. You can help them out.
  • Nurture some newbies. Look for some new people who are just starting out. We all have to start somewhere and Hive takes some getting used to. This may not earn you big rewards, but it is valuable work.
  • Buy some $HIVE. We may look back on this as a good time to buy. There is a lack of exchanges where you can buy Hive, but you can get it with your credit card via a button on the Peakd wallet page. I did that this week. If you take part in #HPUD you may win a prize.
  • Buy something with crypto. If you are earning on Hive then you may be able to bypass fiat to buy things. There are classified ads on Hivelist. Or you can buy music in @risingstargame.
  • Follow some new people. There is something for nearly every interest here. Fill your feed with what you love to make every day fun. Check out the music, comics, photography, stories and more. Support that content to encourage more of it.
  • Share your Hive successes. If Hive is working for you then post about it on other platforms. There is a lot of scepticism about crypto, so you can help to counter that.

What else can we be doing?

The End

I will be producing the #BritList tomorrow, so any further suggestions are welcome. I hope to see some people return here too.

Hive five!

What do you base that belief on? I think we can each do something to help.

Cheers Steve, Happy New Year!

I have a few $ in Bittrex and some is BTC and ETH which wont be getting moved. Reading around, the charges will come out of your holdings and when that is at 0 then nothing else will happen. That's what I'm hoping anyway!

I did wonder how they would take it. I will see if I can log in anyway to be sure. Thanks

I don't think I have gotten an email like that from Bittrex yet, so I must have gotten al of my stuff out of there like they asked me to.

Good for you. We might be hoping for more crypto options, but things seem to be going backwards right now.

If with “other coin” you refer to steem, it always amazes me that fossil is still has anyone using it. The last times I used it was to drain out funds. It feels like walking in a house inhabited for decades 😅

I don't like to use the name really. It feels 'dirty'. Of course there are some people who exiled themselves there and are not welcome here. I would be in favour of an amnesty if they are prepared to change their ways.

You may not be able to as they are shutting down some options.

Buy some $HIVE

How cool is that that I read your post and have done just that earlier? Haha
Can it take some time for them the HIVE to show? It's been some hours now that I handed over my money and nothing showing just yet.
I don't need to get worried, do I?

Mine took a little while to come through, but I think we can trust them. You can show evidence of your payment anyway. I hope it shows up soon.

I may buy some each month to build my account up some more.

I guess you can tell the OGs and the only Hivians when you mention that coin.
People who only know Hive never even think about it.
Interesting about the whole Hive price thing. Other alts pumping and dipping in daily double digits and we bob along doing our own thing.
How do you think we should promote Hive?
Looking forward to your list tomorrow.

The old chain is pretty irrelevant really, but obviously someone is propping up the price.

I think we need to raise awareness of Hive and emphasise that it overcomes some of the usual issues with crypto such as transaction fees and high energy usage.

There is so much going on with Hive. I miss things. I do these posts to make people aware of what I find.

I've been away from the platform for some time, need some catch up time :) its great to see what tech is coming down the chute with this platform, more people need to be aware of the opportunities blockchain has to offer, keep up the sharing!

I will. We can't take it for granted that people know everything that's going on.

I got an email from Bittrex as well but I don't recall anything about the 1% minimum fee. I'd better check the email again, but then I only got $1.xx in there.

Thanks for the shout out for @sterlingux whom I personally know. He's new into blogging and doesn't even use Web2, plus has a real life busy job, so I hope he will be active. I've nudged him a little but don't want to push too hard and scare him away. Onboarding people can be really difficult 😬

It seems most Hivers did not have much in there, but then we know that exchanges are risky. I don't mind losing those few cents.

We need to nurture those new users as the early days are tough. Even if they get good votes on the first post they have to persist. I think it's vital to engage with posts by others.

The new year has begun and we pray that this year will be good for all of us and when we see the candle close above 39 cents it can go up to 50 cents.

I don't think the deities will help us. We need to make Hive more valuable with our actions.

Great post as always! I didn't know Freechain had been accepted to a film festival so thrilled to hear that, and I am always on the lookout for new bands so will give @thetroublenotes a listen!

I hope you find more music to enjoy. Be sure to give them some feedback. I think that can count for more than votes.
