Shilling Hive in a coinmarketcap interview on fun finance friday

Hello Hello Hivians.

Every Friday I see @bozz write a cracking finance friday post, and it seems that today I have stumbled into joining in the fun!

Fridays are my side hustle days

As Mrs T is off work on a Friday, the joys of working four days a week, I tend to not do my primary work on a Friday. If I am going to work then I would much rather try to do some of my side hustles that are often talked about in @mmonline.

Today I had a couple of things lined up. And I shall talk about them in reverse order!

On the way to the leisure centre for our Friday gym, swim and sauna session, we walk past a national phone store. Every three months or so I go said phone store to perform a mystery shop on their staff, and I had arranged to do a mystery shop there this morning.

That would also give Mrs T some time to look at some charity shops.

Then we met up and went to the leisure centre.

This was the view last Friday when we had our annual Links Market down on the Esplanade.

It is Europe's longest street fair and I keep meaning to make a dedicated post to it.

So that was what we did last Friday instead of the gym or any side hustle works!

Back to today and the first item on the list.

I am a member of umpteen panels and forums and one of these contacted me last week about a possible user interview session.

These generally involve getting on a Zoom type call online, and having a chat with a researcher or product designer. They will run through what they are doing and get feedback from you as you use something or discuss feedback and what you do.

Often it is a new app and you play with it online and say your likes and dislikes. They are fun sessions and pay pretty well. I have had £150 for an hour before. Today though, was not as lucrative but it intrigued me as it was to do with crypto.

Today was to be a customer experience interview with a couple of guys from coinmarketcap.com.

The interview was only scheduled for thirty minutes and it was all about cryptocurrency, which of course you would fluffing expect as it was Coinmarketcap.

They asked what apps I used and what I look for in a crypto app. It was a product designer and a product manager, it turns out they are releasing something in May.

They asked what I do in crypto and of course I brought up Hive. As with so many people involved in crypto they had not heard of Hive.

Not to worry as I extolled our virtues to them. We got talking about AI and how I use it and which AI apps I use. I got back to Hive and explained about LeoAI and the language model being trained there.

I piqued their interest.

Not bad for someone who is so negative about Hive!

That was just the first shill of the day, as during my mystery shop at the phone store, I was asked what I use my phone.

Come in Crypto and in came Hive again!

All that yapping shilling and exercise had got me hungry, and so we stopped off for a sandwich and a steaming mug of tea at the cafe at the bus station!

Thanks so much for popping in and may you have a fluffing awesome weekend.

Thank you, they are fun to do, and yes it is fun to spread the Hive world outside of Hive.

I believe that at some point, all of us here, became publicists of this platform. I love it when people like you talk about HIVE because I know you will do amazingly. I look forward to seeing the publication of the fair and those activities at the gym soon. A big hug with Zoom

all of us here, became publicists of this platform.

You have nailed it there Nancy!

It is great to talk about Hive when the opportunity arises like it did twice yesterday!

Loving that Zoom hug!

Thanks for the shout out! You are brave. I suck at public speaking, so a panel discussion would be shear torture for me!

0.00042280 BEE

Ah panel discussions can be a bit nervy at times depending who is there, but yesterday was just two people so was all good fun.

0.00086291 BEE

That's cool!

Not bad for someone who is so negative about Hive!

Well, their perception changes based on market strategy and adoption, who knows, they may look at hive again from a positive angle, good job.

Yeah so many coins around that it is good to show the benefits of Hive.

Shall I rephrase that!
Someone who for sure is one of the most positive Hivers around!
Great that you got the opportunity, Ed, sure you did us proud💯

0.00041233 BEE

Hehe thank you Lizzie :)
I knew it was a cryto app, so was quite surprised it was with coinmarketcap.com which of course so many us know all about!

0E-8 BEE

You had quite a productive day. Dropping Hive wisdom on CoinMarketCap, getting the blood pumping, and then wrapping it up with some well earned comfort food. That’s peak fun finance Friday energy. 🥰

0.00041266 BEE

Hehe salamat, yeah it was an all round fun finance Friday!

I hope you are having a good weekend :)

0E-8 BEE

Great job man!

0.00041524 BEE

Thanks it was a great chat, and I even let them run over 6 minutes as I was talking about Hive hehe

0E-8 BEE

I wonder what's that mystery shop in the phone store😬. It was a productive day introducing and explaining about hive that you piqued their interest.😌😌

0.00041620 BEE

Oh the phone store is just you act like a customer and see what they do to you...

That was some nice work shilling Hive to the world. Maybe the people over at Coinmarketcap will pay more attention to Hive! Glad the side hustle pays and makes some extra cash, that's never a bad thing. Hopefully those interactions will lead to some new talent here in our little ecosystem. Great job!

That looked like a fun little street carnival! I would love to see your post on that!

0.00042178 BEE

It was a fun chat. They of course want us to use their products, and for us all to make money. So let's see what they come up with. Also had a good chat about old coins which even at 5 Hive now comes into that bracket.

Yeah the fair goes down all the front. It has been going since the 1500s!

0E-8 BEE

This is wonderful and interesting to learn.

0.00041401 BEE

Good presentation, man! You know how to market hive to outside world

0.00041484 BEE

I find the best way is to talk about when the opportunity arises and not push it down peoples faces!

0E-8 BEE

Who better than you to promote Hive, I'm sure more than one was motivated to learn more. A very productive day and end it with a good lunch. Mrs. T also enjoyed shopping Friday. Greetings and happy Sunday.😘

Thank you mamani it was a fun chat. Food and charity shop shopping is always a good thing for Mrs T :)
I hope you have a wonderful Sunday and week ahead.
