Welcome back to the bus, folks, & enjoy the show!

We were experiencing some technical difficulties: apologies in advance for the poor quality on my mic for the first half of the show

DHF Proposal, HBD Stabilizer, and Hive Hub

The team discussed the recent successful funding of the DHF proposal, a dynamic hive proposal that receives funds as long as the proposal is active and the fixed cumulative vote exceeds the return proposal. Azircon clarified the function of the return proposal as a threshold and explained the source and function of the DHF fund, which is dynamic and replenished with each Hive block. He also introduced the HBD Stabilizer Proposal, which regulates the relationship between Hive and HBD, the stable coin pegged at a dollar. The discussion concluded with a walkthrough of the Hive Hub Dev/Proposals interface and how to transfer HBD to the savings bucket.

Hive Platform and Splinterlands Growth

Fatjimmy and Azircon discussed the benefits of using Hive, a blogging platform, for earning passive income. They explained how the platform offers an automatic 15% interest on savings and how the upvote feature determines the amount of Hive a user receives. They also discussed the potential of using the blog generation feature in the Splinterlands game to earn additional income and the recent substantial funding for Splinterlands. Lastly, they touched on the growth of their Hive wallets, the importance of thinking about crypto in terms of its value, and the strategy for delegating proxy votes.

Building a Successful Presence on Hive

Azircon and Fatjimmy discussed the importance of consistency and networking for building a successful presence on the Hive platform. They emphasized the value of regularly posting content and engaging with other users' content through commenting and voting. They also highlighted the uniqueness and value of personal blogging on Hive, encouraging others to share their authentic and personal experiences. The group also discussed the inspiration that can be drawn from the medium, with The mentioning their renewed interest in photography. Azircon offered his support to anyone needing assistance with their blogging.

Hive Power, Splinterlands, and Community Dynamics

Azircon explained the concept of Hive Power, emphasizing its importance in growing through consistent activity, buying and selling SPS and Hive, and staking Hive for voting power. Fatjimmy showed interest in the platform, comparing it to social media platforms and discussing the challenges of promoting a decentralized platform. They also discussed the stake weighted voting system and the dynamics within the Splinterlands community, highlighting the infighting and divisiveness caused by differing opinions on proposals. Azircon proposed an alternative collective idea to leverage the investment already present in the Splinterland game, encouraging players to also invest in the Hive ecosystem for mutual growth.

Hive Engagement, Splinterlands, and Promotion

Azircon and Fatjimmy discussed the importance of engagement on the Hive platform and the strategy of commenting on posts to increase visibility. They also anticipated an upcoming proposal that they hoped would increase engagement and adoption. The relationship between Hive and Splinterlands was highlighted, with both platforms benefiting from mutual promotion. They acknowledged the challenges of promoting a decentralized platform like Hive but emphasized the potential of Splinterlands as a showcase for Hive's capabilities.

Cryptocurrency Market and Hive Investment

Azircon and Fatjimmy discussed the current state of the cryptocurrency market, with Azircon noting that they were not in a bull market and highlighting the potential for increased attention on Hive and other community-driven projects. Azircon announced his purchase of 1 million SPS tokens, and emphasized the importance of holding DEC tokens to receive a 30% discount. The team also discussed the upcoming changes to the promotional card system, the schedule for the Rebellion project, and the potential for new players to make significant investments.
