I listened... to you and to myself: no DHF proposal, ChainCulture postponed - by @roelandp
The author announces that the DHF proposal for ChainCulture 2026 is cancelled and the event is postponed rather than canceled. They explain three reasons: avoiding reliance on DHF funding for a lean year, insufficient time to secure sponsors for Barcelona, and personal stress requiring space. The core idea of a broader Hive cultural day remains, but the event will be self-organized in the future. Work already done will be preserved for a potential return, with plans for HiveFest to be externally funded and community-driven. The next post will outline the self-organized, DHF-free vision, including city captains, a tip jar, and hive-related terminology. Gratitude is extended to supporters who provided honest input.
