The News

I would not recommend looking at the crypto prices unless you on a buying spree. I do not worry too much about the $HIVE price generally. It is doing well compared with a year ago and we have healthy development going on as well as lots of new people joining up.

@splinterlands is into another phase of card sales with Chaos Legions available to anyone now. I am still buying some with what I make on the game. I see people opening thousands of packs and that must take a while. We shall see how their investment plays out in the long run, but the game seems to be booming.

I do not keep up with all that is happening on Hive, but others cover it better. I am finding the Cryptomaniacs podcast from @jongolson and @taskmaster4450 informative. They have @brianoflondon on the latest show.

Friday Followings

This is the 'meat' of #FollowFriday. We can help build the community by connecting people with others they will find interesting. I have my own preferences, but maybe you will find something good here.

• My friend @daniellemurray just joined Hive. We have been making music as @swing47 and in other settings for some time. She has a podcast at @radioliquorice.
• As I am into drumming I looked around for drummers and found @gianpaolo081. He has played with some big names and just came back to Hive after a break. I need to check out some more of his old posts.
• I just found @orestistrips from Greece who also likes his drums as well as his motorcycle.
• @katharsisdrill had some time away from Hive too, but is back again with more weird and wonderful are as well as a surreal comic.
• @mizuosemla has translated my Hive guide into Japanese

The Doghouse

No particular 'victims' this week, but I recommend this post by @adamada about the value of your reputation on Hive. We get people coming in trying to just make a quick buck by dishonest means. They will generally not get far before being spotted and their accounts may just get trashed. What goes on Hive stays there forever, so you should consider if you want to stand by what you post. If you can build a good reputation (which is not just a number) then you can do better. A good reputation can soon be lost if you misbehave and will not be easy to regain.

The End

I hope people are not too stressed out by the state of the markets. We can keep earning from the various Hive dapps anyway. Play the long game and you could do well, but we each contribute something to building up the platform. Support a small account or bring in new people. Every user counts.

Hive five!
