I suppose that many people who have been on HIVE for some time heard many times that consistency is the key of growth on this platform... We all heard it, we all know it, but are we really living it? Are we consistent with engaging on (and off) the platform? That's another pair of shoes... It's easy to say, but not that easy to do it...
Especially when hard times are coming, you see fewer and fewer active people, fewer comments, less content, and less engagement... On the other side, when the HIVE price begins to go up, we have "returning" Hivians, coming back to the platform, creating content, and trying to re-build their accounts, until the next price dump... when they will probably leave again... Both cases are an obvious example of inconsistency, and wrong understanding of building wealth, building relations, and building in general... The strongest bonds are always created in difficult times, and in the same way, crypto accumulations are the most effective if it is done when the prices are low...

It is very easy to explain how it works here on HIVE... There is a reward pool in HIVE that is being distributed through curation (upvotes) to Hivians who create content... No matter if it is a bull market, or a bear market this pool is the SAME SIZE... So, if there are fewer people on the platform (few content, comments), people are getting more rewards... It doesn't look like that in those moments, as you see the USD value under your posts, but you do get more HIVE!!! In the bull market is the opposite, more content, more authors, the same reward pool is split among more authors, and the "cut" is smaller... Again, you have the illusion that you earn more as the USD value is bigger, but in reality, you receive fewer HIVE tokens... That's why it's important to accumulate in the bear market!
Of course, you should build in the bull market too... You have having bigger audience, you can create more connections and relations, and that's always a great bonus! So, all in all, it is important to be CONSISTENT and build, regardless of the bull or the bear markets!!!
Darn, I created a post inside the post as that was a long introduction part! Back to the show that we had on Wednesday! The topic seems like an easy one, but it is very wide and we covered multiple aspects in the show...
In the beginning, I went through a couple of comments that you guys left on my announcement post as they were insightful, from people who unfortunately didn't manage to get to the show... One of the comments that I didn't mention in the show was by 
Speaking of daily posting, I shared my experience from the past when I was daily posting on HIVE for months... That way of pushing hard content creation has good sides, but also it has some bad sides... Losing creativity, doing things "mechanically", creating content for the sake of the content, and not for others, etc.
It was great to get some of you guys in voice... For example, 
After him, we had 
It is not about the number (of comments)... it is about the value!
So, we had a very productive show where we covered multiple topics like leaving meaningful comments, meetups, appreciation, etc.
This time we had a smaller group of participants, but I like to call it a CORE group... It was busy in the chat section too and I was lagging with checking out the comments during the show! Including myself, we had 9 participants who were more-less with us from the beginning to the end of the show! That's always nice to see! Thank you, 
As usual, we had an after-show session which was a lot of fun as many others joined the voice discussion!! I had an awesome time and it was nice to see that others had too!!!
EDIT: Oh, one important thing... In the after-show, we brought up the idea of having more guests in future shows, and one of the requests was to have
