The News

It is less than three weeks to @hivefest. Let me know if you are going. I really hope that numbers are up this year, but then I know a lot of Europeans would want to go. Do not worry if you think you will not know anyone as Hivers are a friendly bunch and you will be chatting over a beer in no time.

The cryptocurrency market recovered a bit this week. $HIVE could be back over 20c soon after a rough few weeks. I always say you have to play the long game and it is worth it to keep earning even when the price is low. As for the 'legacy coin', I have no idea why it retains any value.

Friday Follows

I keep telling people that Hive has a great variety of content. You should follow people who create what interests you and engage with it. Everyone loves to get feedback and Hive will not function if everyone just wants to create rather than consume. You should definitely be commenting far more than you post. Even if your vote is not worth much your opinion has value. It may also gain you some followers, so be natural and honest rather than just going for numbers.

I share people who I have found appealing to me, but you will have different interests. These are just suggestions, so be free to come up with your own.

• @sidekickmatt produces several different comics plus lots of original art.
• @hivetoday provide updates on what is going on around this blockchain.
• @madilyn02 has been interviewing some members of our community. That is a great way to get to know them.
• @run.vince.run and his wife @run.kirsty.run have been travelling to some triathlon events. Vince also runs the @strava2hive service that can convert your Strava activities into Hive posts.

The Dog House

In this segment I have written about various behaviours that I see as damaging to Hive. What do you see that annoys you?

The End

We have a long weekend in the UK and the weather is looking good, although some areas had high winds today. On Sunday my band @theriverkicks are playing at Goatfest where I will be playing the drums. Several of the band members are on Hive.

I hope your weekend is good wherever you are. We all need to get away from our screens for a bit and just enjoy life. You can always blog about it later, but it is up to you to find an audience.

Hive five!
