Life is full of ups and downs, and our show also has ups and downs... 😃 After a fantastic show with Detlev last week, we had an "ordinary" show where we discussed certain topics connected to our Hive journey... Last week we had almost 20 participants, while this week we had half of that... You can't win every time... 😃 But, despite that, we had a lot of fun, and got off topic many times during the show, but still, I think that we had a valuable discussion... I learned something new, so I'm happy... 😃

Maybe the topic was a bit too hard (as someone said in the comment section that it's an "elephant in the room") and not everyone wants to discuss it, but the #HHHLive show is perfect for those things... We talked about heavy stuff in the past and we will in the future... It would be nice to reach the stage where the show is a starting point for some big discussions about the HIVE in general! We can't ignore the elephant as we will stay without the space for breathing... 🙂

As the participants were shy and quiet, most of the time I was talking, but luckily, it was busy in the chat channel, so I didn't talk to myself... 🙂 I began the show with my thoughts about expectations and how they evolve during our journey on HIVE (but also in our stages of life)... Sometimes we lower them, sometimes we have higher...

The only person who came in voice this time was our new/regular participant, @relf87! He shared his story of how he came to Hive through Splinterlands and how his expectations changed during his blockchain journey... From a timid Splinterland player, he began to create content, consumed tons of the content when we were in the C19 phase, and all that changed his view and expectations from HIVE!

During his talk, he mentioned the question that raised a big debate a year (or two) ago, What would happen if there was no curation and author rewards on HIVE? Of course, we had to discuss it and share our views regarding that...

Later on, @mypathtofire opened Pandora's box regarding Web2 and Web3, so we went in that direction too... (too many offtopic this time, but that gave a nice engagement! 😃) I shared my story when I was deep in Web2 with owning websites and trying to monetize them through Google Adsense... It was different before, but it got much tougher and I would say, more fierce in the Web2 world... Before, you could make it with an average website and we had many fish in the ocean, but today... If you want to make it in the Web2 world, you have to bring millions and millions of visits, fill those pockets of advertisers, and maybe then, you will get your small cut... But, even then, you have to remind yourself that you are not the owner of your content and you can be shut down at any moment!

Close to the end of the show, we switch the topic to Hive-Engine tokens and our expectations regarding them! People shared their favorite tokens in the chat and we talked about them... It was nice to read news about some tokens that I didn't know, and that's why it is great to exchange info with each other!

Don't forget to check out the show recording below!

We had 10 participants (including myself) in the show this week!!! Thanks for participating, @foxkoit, @melinda010100, @misticogama, @mypathtofire, @nabu.doconosor2, @palomap3, @relf87, @trexane, and @travoved! Thank you guys and girls for the awesome time!

As usual, we had an after-show which wasn't recorded and the atmosphere got even looser... We covered a lot of other stuff and did a small AUA (ask us anything) session... 😃 If you want to participate in these, you gotta attend the show live! 😃

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, only @relf87 came on the microphone to share his thoughts, while others did it in the chat channel... So, this week, Ecency POINTS are going to @relf87!

Special thanks goes to @melinda010100 and @good-karma for providing the space for the event!

Thank you for your time,
