Follow Friday: Summit or other
The News
Happy Friday! I know the $HIVE price is not much to cheer about lately. It may drop back below 20c for the first time in a while. The eternal problem is giving people reasons to invest. Some will say we are not ready for the mainstream, but after nine years we ought to be. There are still millions who can handle dealing with keys etc. There are lots of crypto fans and other geeks out there. They should be the first wave and then we need more of the creative people who can attract an audience of content consumers. Of course everyone can earn here, but people also want an alternative to the big platforms that seem to get more hostile. Hive is imperfect, but we have more freedom here. $LEO has peaked for now, but they seem to have more plans.
The Hive Summit is happening right now in Aachen, Germany. I hope to see lots of reports from there. I would like to go next year.
The Hive Snaps mobile app has a proposal to fund more development. You can support that to help them out. I am using the app and it already works well. Their mascot @snapie posts updates.
@louis88 has created a script that shows in peakd if people are posting on the other chains. I wonder why they would, but we can each make up our own minds about that.
Friday Follows
- We ought to be encouraging other blockchains to use Hive as post do not have their own blogging platforms. We alreaimage.pngdy have @dashpay and @thedessertlinux is part of that community.
- I met poet @raj808 in Liverpool a while back. He is marking eight years on here.
- @ebass interviewed the Hive borehole man @mcsamm this week
- @makerhacks posts about various coding techniques and also about retro computing.
- Runners and other active people should check out @strava2hive from @run.vince.run for an easy way to make posts from activities. Of course you still need to be interesting.
The End
I will skip the Dog House this week to avoid dwelling on negative issues. I find much to lift my spirits on Hive even with its faults. There will be a few people who make themselves unpopular with their actions, but in this small community that will stand out. We do need to deal with real abuse, but I see little to be gained from infighting and feuds. Those will put others off. Hive is supposed to be about freedom and people should be free to do dumb things.
Hive five!

$HIVE price hasn't been where we want it to be for a long time; however, I would like to stay optimistic about the future.
It's always been difficult to get the vast majority of people to see the potential of hive. I suppose the negative effects of the early crypto projects is still in many people's minds?
The #spendhbd project seems to be attracting a lot of attention in many countries around the world.
I don't know much about it but it seems to be functioning as a means of exchange? People are buying hbd to spend on groceries etc. I.e. Cashback?
Crypto is seen very negatively in some quarters, but we know Hive can counter some of their arguments, e.g. energy use.
I think it's great if people can spend their crypto directly. That may not be so easy in some countries. I don't really know about the economics of that project.
!BEER
It seems to work well in countries with flimsy economies with unstable local currencies based on these existing use cases.
!BEER
Yes you are right. In the bad times we need to stick together. I shall be more positive from now on.
join us on Snaps Blanchy!!
What’s snaps buddy?
Everyday, on both accounts.
I think the new script that shows the activity on other chains is really cool. People can use it how they wish and make their own decisions based on that.
Why would anyone invest in Hive when they get all their work downvoted to zero every 7 days ?
Everyone I ever invited to Hive has quit. I am the only one who stuck around … after 8 years of blogging … OG from Steemit.com in 2017 …
How many people get zeroed? Very few I bet. Yes, I know some, but it seems to be often down to personal differences. As I keep saying Hive is tiny and people will disagree. It's the wild west, but better than most alternatives. We all know Steemit got corrupted.
Everyone I ever invited to Hive got Zeroed out on Day 7. So they all quit.
It’s the Buildawhale / MarkyMark Downvote Blacklist
Everything anybody posts gets downvoted to zero no matter what anybody posts…
Who is doing the downvoting? Hivewatchers sometimes errs, but usually it's because people are plagiarizing.
It is mostly Buildawhale, theMarkymark, Blocktrades (Via Delegation to The MarkyMark) , Solominer, GoGreenBuddy and many others who don't like Actifit, Splinterlands, Bitcoin and Dogs ???
I have had over $10,000 in downvotes over the past 3 years. I’m keeping track
I have issues with marky, but he tends to leave me alone. He can't stop you posting.
Well we know what some think of that. Some will bear a grudge.
I also post on Instagram, X, Facebook and YouTube . Maybe they have a problem with that too.
I’m an Artist, Musician and Film maker. I post everywhere
Not just Hive.
They told me I needed to sell all my Steem and Blurt and only post on Hive.
I did that and they kept on downvoting me .
Please stop making a fool of yourself we all know who is behind this so please tell him to stop 🛑

Not enough people seem interested in censorship resistance yet despite crackdowns on free speech in many countries, corporate abuse of users, and the like. I may swap some HBD to Hive as prices fall though. I'm here for the long term possibilities, not the spot price.
Thank you @steevc so much for the shoutout, the words of support, and for using the app! 💙

I think the problem is the creation and presence of diversified apps, for different purposes, based on the blockchain. This would increase the use of blockchain itself. There are too many apps that allow us to do only one thing, hook up to the blockchain and allow us to post, to make our blog. But not all users are bloggers. Not all users feel the need to write down their thoughts. It is not the bearers even the fraction of cents that they can earn (potentially). It's all based solely on the blog and microblog. We need apps of other kinds, distributed on the stores.
We need to not be relying on one app/dapp for the primary uses of Hive, so that diversity is good. If people don't want to blog they can play games or trade to earn. Some are spending their crypto and getting cashback. Hive can't do everything, but it can be an option for many.
An internet browser like Brave (Bat token)? A pedometer app with prizes and tournaments for rewards? An app to learn languages, with prizes for passing levels? An app for crosswords and puzzles, with prizes for completing games and tournaments?
No browser that I know of except for the one in Keychain. @Actifit and @Strava2Hive let you log activities. Kryptogamers for puzzles.
Thank you so very much @steevc for the mention and genuine support towards my podcast show. I really do appreciate it 🙏

I saw footage from the seminar, and it looks beautiful in Germany. Thanks for showing Hive to the world.
