I don't know you personaly , but i've always see you in the spotlight on hive fests videos as a driving force for Hive.
I have no clue how many hours of work you have done , but i do wonder where would Hive have been without your energy and charisma.

Asking for a TIP because that is what it is to me after so many years of working your ass off and not getting paid in any way , seems only fair to me , that you get some kind of reward for all the work you have done.

Other people might assume that all those trips were paid for by Hive , but they forget it's not a company.
And hiring an external party that would have done the things you did would have cost way more then the 90k HBD you are asking for.

So no matter the status of the hive price i think you deserve to be compensated in a way like this.
