In the sake of transparency, and as we approach mid-year, here's something of a "quarterly report." The intent here is to offer sort of a state-of-the-LUV synopsis.
LUV was started on a bit of a whim. On Valentine's Day, February 14, there was a lot of love talk. Imagine that. For some reason I combined that with Hive-Engine tokens, looked at how to make a token, noted I was "working on a project" with this buzz which unveiled the 10-second hand-drawn logo, then started LUV two days later.
From day 1 goal was to share love on Hive, hence, the name, "LUVshares." That goal has been somewhat formalized into a mission statement: The goal of LUVshares is to spread love around the Hive blockchain.

| Wallets able to use the LUVbot (to share LUV) | 613 | These are wallets with at least 10 LUV. |

LUV shared via the LUVbot. The sudden June drop was due to API issues/changes.

LUV has come a long way in its infancy.
At this point, new LUV is only released into the market by Hive users sharing LUV via the LUVbot. This is what was described as the "Proof-of-Love" "mining" algorithm. This is different in that your efforts don't reward you, but your efforts rewards others.
Looking to the future, I return to the past. They say the best predictor of future performance is past performance. Particularly, I look to LUV's goal: to spread love on Hive. So, the number one goal in the future is to maintain the ability for Hive users to share LUV via the LUVbot.
I've considered the option of staking, but cannot convince myself that staking a token shares love with others. Of course, there are benefits to staking, but I'm not sure that sharing love with others is one of them. You never say never, so perhaps things will change my mind on this in the future, but not now. My goal is to stubbornly stick to the plan.
I'm happy that I started LUV and I'm thankful that it seems to largely have been well-received. I think LUV is serving a useful purpose for Hive and hope that it continues to serve a role for positivity going forward.
