Despite not creating the announcement post for the show, we did manage to run one last HumpDay (pardon, Wednesday馃檪)... I had a bad migraine on Tuesday and I was unable to create the announcement post, but in the end, we had a nice turnout and a very deep discussion on different topics! As it was the last Wednesday of the month, we had the "freestyle" version of the #HHHLIVE show, where the participants picked up the topic... As you can see from the title, we had a few big ones!

It is turning into a tradition that we begin the show with a smaller audience, and get up the steam as time passes by... We were only 4 in the first minutes, but shortly, when others joined, we were around 10 participants! Not bad for a show without the announcement post! Btw. there is no recording for this one, so if you want to participate in the live discussion, you will have to join us the next time!
At the beginning of the show, I had small issues with my microphone as I changed the setup this time... Using my Bluetooth earbuds was more convenient for this "relaxed" format of the show, but I forgot to change my microphone to a desktop mic... Luckily, someone spotted the voice difference and the problem was solved! As a topic-breaker, I asked others how they liked the last show, where we had a special guest as it was in an "interview" format... I was pleased to hear that people liked it which means that we should do them more often! If you would like to have someone special as a guest (or you want to be a special guest!), please let me know in the comment section...
As we were talking about the last show, we dived into the talk about the Polish community, and some HiveFest memories, where 
The next huge topic was ValuePlan... As it is a very huge one, we were jumping on and off talking about it... People shared their views, good and bad things... What could be improved, and similar... There were shared a few links during the show, so if you are interested in that topic, you can check them out too...

As I said, we were moving through topics back and forth, but sharing some great information during that time... For example, 
I have no idea how we went back to funding apps and how to incentivize people to be more responsible with received funds from DHF, or ValuePlan... It is obvious that more reports about spending and transparency are needed... But on the other side, the biggest incentive should be to do things that will benefit the chain and the HIVE token... In the end, most of us are HivePower holders and we want the best for the token... I suppose that receiving funds as a "gift" and earning money by work are two different things... Those who earn money with their work, appreciate it more and act more responsibly...
That was probably another door that opened a new discussion about funding apps and projects... Does it make sense to fund certain apps forever, or it would be better to fund new apps and help them out in developing new ideas... The "hot potato" was thrown at 
Then we dived into some of the games on HIVE... Splinterlands was a perfect example of a self-sustainable game for a long time, but in the end, they had to be "saved" by the DHF... On the other side, we have some other games, such as GolemOverlord which is doing a great job, or 
Another big topic was Hive-Engine tokens, how to manage tokens, how H-E works, what are the pros and cons of tokens on it... As 
We had a talk about token liquidity, printing/minting tokens, burning tokens... About the balance around liquidity, scalability talk, and of course, a business plan that every token owner should have before launching one!
At the end of the show, we had another big topic... Content value! How to measure it, and more importantly, how to monetize the content... There were some comments on how HIVE content is garbage and useless, how it doesn't have value at all... I strongly disagree with that... Do you think that FB or IG content is more valuable? Or endless discussion on X without any point or conclusion? I don't think so... HIVE has a problem with monetizing the content and we have to find the solution for that... Maybe if we find it, it could be a turning point in making the HIVE economy much stronger than it is.
Peakd's experiment with ads is a first step that will bring some "feedback" data... Maybe invest more work in SEO of HIVE frontends? What do you think? How can we monetize our content?
We had 10 people in the show (including myself). I would like to thank, 
Thank you, guys and girls, once again! As a sign of appreciation, I will send some LEN tokens to all participants of the live show! You can pair them with LENM tokens, add liquidity to the diesel pool, and earn rewards! If you want to learn more about the project behind it, check out the
To encourage more people to come on the mic, I have sent an additional 100 Ecency POINTS to people who shared their thoughts in voice with us (this time we had 3 participants in voice)! So POINTS are going to
