Yes, I am counting down the days to @hivefest. It looks like about 40 people have bought tickets and it may be that some are not paying in $HIVE so they do not show up in that wallet. Even with just those I have seen it will be great. Some of us may be performing live music.
Despite recent crypto chaos $HIVE is gradually creeping up whilst the 'legacy' coins stagnate. With all the ways you can earn with it I would hope more people would invest. Not everyone can afford to do that, but for those who can it ought to be attractive. If you do not have spare money you can still earn through your content. Build and be part of communities around what interests you.
On Coingecko you can show your confidence in coins. Perhaps give $HIVE and $HBD your support, for what difference it may make. You do not need to log in.
I also check the numbers for peakd visitors as it is the biggest social front end. I know Alexa has shut down, but HypeStat still seems to get numbers that do change. It is not clear where they come from now. Maybe they are just making it up. They continue to show Cuba and El Salvador as the biggest concentration of Hivers, but that seems doubtful. I am sure the various sites monitor their own statistics via Google Analytics or somesuch. Would they make that information public? I am keen to know how we are doing.
The UK has a long weekend and I have lots to do. I hope those who do get a break can make the most of it. I have been travelling recently and storing up some experiences to share on Hive. It is always good to have a backlog of potential posts. It is always worth taking a few pictures when you are out and about.
The main thing is to enjoy what you do.
Hive five!
