You know what they say... When you have a lot of fun, time is flying away! It was exactly like that in yesterday's Hive Humpday Hangout! We had a Special Edition show, which means that there was no prepared topic, script, and nothing similar... The participants in the show were leading the show's direction and we went through many different topics... I had a busy morning and a bad headache before the show, but even that has gone during the livestream!

These SE (special edition) shows aren't recorded and I try to run them every LAST Wednesday in a month, just to relax, have a nice chit-chat with regulars, and motivate folks to come and attend it live! The show was over 2 hours long which is probably the record, and whenever I was thinking that we could wrap it up, someone would join the show and start another topic! It was great to see some new faces in the show, especially after knowing these guys for years on the chain! To hear them for the first time and to have a friendly chat!
We began the show a bit cautious and shy... nothing unusual... hehehe... Sometimes the audience is tough and it's hard to keep the discussion rolling... @relf87 shared with us that he is planning a trip to Europe next year and asked a few questions regarding transportation in Italy...
As my son has finished high school and had his test exam for the University in the morning, I was curious to hear what education our participants have... In the end, the conclusion was that many of us aren't doing what we have "finished for", and life makes us pre-qualify for other professions, and that trend will probably speed up even more in the future...
You can't work all the time, so we switched the topic and checked out where people are going for vacation... 😃 Naturally, we continued with specific places and local traditions, which reminded me about the San Juan festive that was a few days ago... I have shared some of the "highlights" of it and consulted Google for more details... 😃
I have no idea how we moved into the talk about languages, but in the end, we wrapped up that topic by exploring the differences between platanos and bananas... 😂 I didn't know that they aren't the same, but it looks like I wasn't the only one to not know that...
After an hour of chatting, we had the more hectic second hour... Almost at the same time, @josediccus, @seckorama, and @travoved came to the show and brought new energy to it! We thought that it would be a speed race, but they converted the show into a marathon... 😃 It was time to bounce back the topic to HIVE! I loved it! 🙂
@seckorama came in voice, talking about his trip to Aachen Hive Meetup on Friday, and we also talked a bit about the upcoming #HiveFest, and possible routes to get to Split, Croatia! It was his first time attending the show, and it was nice to have him with us! Luckily, he was on vacation, so he could join us!
We have another "first-timer" in the show... After many requests and promises, @josediccus finally came to the show... 😃 The ball was completely in the HIVE pitch, and he was talking about engagement on different social networks, differences between before and now... We discussed the importance of live events, even these "virtual meetups" that we are having, and how they can motivate and keep the community together... There are many ways that we can improve that, and I hope that we will have more places to hang out with other Hivians...
Talking about spaces for hanging out, we lured @melinda010100 to the mic... 😃 The idea was to get some alphas from her about Ecency developments... She was hesitating to share, but we got some first-hand info and sneaked a peak into the minds of Ecency devs... 😃 Something is cooking in Ecency - Rising Star kitchen and that collaboration can make wonders... :)
For the last half hour of the show, we dived deep into hard topics... It's not easy to talk about issues and about things that could be better, but we have shared our views about DHF, witnesses, Hive whales... The community on HIVE is diversified and we have many different "profiles" of people... While it can be perceived as a weakness, it is our advantage, but only if we combine it with the most important tool of decentralization, the DIALOGUE...
The conclusion was that we need more discussions and dialogues with other Hivians, to exchange ideas, present different views, and try to understand how others are thinking... If we don't understand something, that doesn't mean that it's bad... Sometimes, it looks like we lose the connection between big and small accounts on HIVE, and that can be tricky... Big or small, everyone has their place on HIVE, and everyone can contribute to this place and make it better!
We had 17 people (including myself) in the show and I would like to thank everyone for participating in the show! Thanks, @bananaklatbarat, @bulkathos, @soyernesto, @foxkoit, @josediccus, @manclar, @melinda010100, @mypathtofire, @misticogama, @palomap3, @relf87, @seckorama, @sacra97, @seunruth, @suarlex, and @travoved!
Thank you, guys and girls, once again! As a sign of appreciation, I will send some LEN tokens to all participants of the live show! You can pair them with LENM tokens, add liquidity to the diesel pool, and earn rewards! If you want to learn more about the project behind it, check out the @liotes account or visit the Liotes website... Of course, if you are not interested in it, you can sell tokens on the Hive-Engine market...
To encourage more people to come on the mic, I have sent an additional 100 Ecency POINTS to people who shared their thoughts in voice with us (this time we had 4 participants in voice)! So POINTS are going to @seunruth, @seckorama, @josediccus, and @melinda010100!
Special thanks goes to @melinda010100 and @good-karma for providing the space for the event!
Thank you for your time,
