The end of the year is fast approaching and many of us who have small businesses are struggling to get into the black. 2021 has been a pretty bad year for my wife and I with our side business, not to mention my day job. I'm sure there are many more in the same if not worse situation. We had a good spike in sales this summer, but it has dropped back off to lockdown levels. You know who isn't hurting though? Amazon, Walmart, the super companies that are able to buy their marketshare.
With that in mind, I was thinking maybe HIVE users could help out the small business owners who use HIVE? So I just created the HiveSmallBusiness community to promote your goods and services, #HiveSmallBusiness. I hope this can bring us all a bit of much needed revenue and support.
I have some extra HBD built up in my wallet thanks to HIVE voters. I don't mind paying for things with HBD and I don't mind accepting HBD or HIVE for items I sell on Etsy. In fact, if possible it would be good to use SBD or HIVE to pay for things to keep the value in-house and increase activity on HIVE.
Speaking of Etsy, while our main shop is in Japan, our US based shop is on Etsy. https://www.etsy.com/shop/Rt395Minerals
I can give HIVE users 10% off with the code "hive10".

I understand gems and minerals aren't for most people, but perhaps as a Christmas gift?
Let's help out each other this season instead of giving the super corporations our hard earned money which they then use to game the system against small businesses.
