HIVE THRIVE— Show #56 —Guest: @edicted

Hive Thrive: Our Hour for Hive Community

📅 Tuesday, 19th May @ 6 PM UTC
📍 Live on Discord in the Voice General Channel
🎙 Hosts: @buttcoins and @meno
🌟 Guest: @edicted

Hive is full of builders, traders, doomers, optimists, system-breakers, and people trying to figure out where this whole experiment is heading next. Hive Thrive is our weekly community hour where we bring people on from across the ecosystem to explore ideas, projects, concerns, opportunities, and sometimes a few uncomfortable truths along the way.

This week we welcome back @edicted. Long-time Hivean, market observer, freedom-maximalist, and someone who has consistently focused on the bigger structural questions around crypto, ownership, exchanges, decentralization, and financial sovereignty. Recently he has been diving deep into Hive liquidity issues, HBD conversion mechanics, MAGI/Altera, Bitcoin cycle analysis, and how AI may eventually collide with Web3 systems in ways most people are not fully prepared for.

This week we will dive into:

• Hive’s growing exchange and liquidity problem
• MAGI / Altera and whether it changes anything
• HBD conversions and hidden market opportunities
• Bitcoin cycles and where we may actually be headed
• AI forcing new economic models online
• Freedom vs convenience in crypto
• Whether Hive is truly decentralized
• Emotional trading and surviving multiple market cycles
• Old-school Hive perspectives vs current Hive reality
• Probably a few rabbit holes nobody planned for

Join us live and jump into the conversation with the community. Whether you are deep into Hive already or just trying to understand why people are still here after all these years, there is always something worth exploring.
