The News

The Bitcoiners are getting excited as it closes in on $100k. I have some regret that I did not buy in when it was cheap, but that is not worth worrying about. I care more about $HIVE that is still sleeping and around 500th in the charts. I agree with what @revisesociology wrote about most coins being crap. All these 'memecoins' seem pointless and just designed to make money for a few people when they go viral.

The gap to the 'legacy crapcoin' closed a little, but things have settled down for now.

I am not sure what exciting Hive news I missed this week, but I will look out for the weekly post from @gadrian who finds some nice nuggets.

Friday Follows

• I mentioned the Hive biker last week and he got more attention with a podium finish. Thanks to @hivetalkproject for the update.
• Hive musician @yidneth won an award for a film soundtrack she created.
• I mentioned a new album by drummer @giampaolo19 recently and it is out now. It is really good, so please let him know what you think. You can listen online. We need more top musicians on Hive.

Those mentioned get a share of the post rewards and so does @commentrewarder so that good comments can earn more. I have said it before, but if you are trying to support others on Hive then the beneficiaries feature is a direct way to do it. You may earn a little less, but spreading the rewards helps keep people engaged.

The Dog House

This one is not so much about those who abuse Hive, but features a tool by @oflyhigh that can show who does not want to see your posts. It seems 51 people muted me.

A certain account has ten times as many mutes. Can you guess who it could be?

The End

The crypto markets could get even more interesting with the US regime change. No doubt Musk will be trolling people from his platform for extremists. I would hope more people will be leaving it and that some come to Hive. If you know anyone who is looking for a new home then give them some guidance. They can use other platforms too of course, but I am avoiding those run by corporations as they tend to disappoint me eventually. They tend to be guided by money rather than ideals.

Have a great weekend and Hive five!
