With great pleasure, I announce the winners of the last Hive Punks giveaway challenge.
Your prizes have been sent to you and thank you for taking part!
I will be the first to admit, I think I have an obsession with collecting things. Many of you know that I have spent a vast amount collecting Hive Punks, I don't even keep track of how much HIVE I've spent, but that is besides the point and the actual point at the same time. When you obsess over collecting things, you rationalise your purchases to justify it all. I'm only really concerned with how much the thing in front of me costs, and whether I'm prepared to pay it at that time or not. As long as I'm not breaking the piggy bank I'm usually happy I bought the item.
Now, in real life, I have one thing which stands out when it comes to obsessively collecting. That would be shoes and sneakers. I like to tell myself that because I run so much (5 to 10 kilometers per day), I need to keep my rotation of running shoes fresh to avoid any unnecessary injury, but I think that's just an excuse to collect shoes I like the look of. It's gotten to the point where I honestly don't know how many pairs of shoes I have anymore - I sometimes rummage through my collection and find shoes I forgot that I bought. I have even bought the exact same pair twice because I forgot I bought it already.
In the gallery above, I've included a small collection of running shoes I have purchased in the past year. As you can see, I have many pairs of the exact same shoe. A difference in colourway is enough to interest me (funny how I seem to display the same behaviour collecting punks wouldn't you say?)
I suppose one consolation from being an obsessive shoe collector, is that I actually feel motivated to run more often because of the sheer number of shoes I have yet to run in. I would say that I go through a pair a month, but I probably average buying two pairs in the same time. Either I have to buy one less pair a month, or double the amount of running I do before my house turns into a shoe-dio. I think I'll just keep the dream alive and push for that noble goal of increasing my monthly mileage and eventually running a decent time in the marathon!
I'm curious though, do you guys have anything you obsessively collect?

As you know, I have been running semi regular challenges on liketu.com for the past 3 weeks to help everyone warm up to the new front-end but most importantly, have a bit of fun learning about each other. I remain committed to keeping this endeavour moving forward but a new system has been devised to better achieve our objectives in driving engagement and liketu.com utility.
In the next week, we shall be introducing a reward points system based on your activities specifically on liketu.com. Different actions will reward different amounts of points. We're going to call these points Diamonds. You can then accumulate these Diamonds to spend in our little reward shop where we'll be continuously adding stock of #hivepunks but also probably the Ragnarok NFTs as well.
Just a note : These Diamonds are like loyalty reward points which will be issued for the kinds of activity we like to see on liketu.com, they are non-transferable and can only (currently) be used to redeem items from our shop.
Later on, we'll be adding more items to the shop to let you spend your points. So far, the plans are more kinds of NFTs, Merchandise, Delegation rewards, and potential air-drops. We'll announce the new system with some screens of how it works on our
