Other than pairing with SWAP.HIVE as the first or second diesel pool for a new H-E token having become rather cliché?😁 I believe that Hive account@yintercept made a good point in a reply to one of the previous posts:

My hope is that a "Learn to Code" tribe would discuss developing #hive-engine programs. In that case, a BEE:BYTE pair might be in order.

I am hoping to be sufficient in creating first layer Hive smart contracts within a year or so (and posting about what I learn here on Hive account@learn2code) and then move on to second layer smart contracts. BEE is the token of hive-engine (the token name is "Hive Engine Token"), for example, the airdrop contract requires BEE as payment for it to use a CSV or TXT file.

Therefore, as an aspiring hive-engine smart contract creator I want to abide by Ferengi Rule of Acquisition #33, “It never hurts to suck up to the boss.”😁
