Altcoin Season: Yes, or No? New Hive Curation Tool, Crypto Adoption, etc. .:. Recap of Hive Humpday Hangout SE #16 (July 2, 2025)

After the 3-week break, the #HHHLive show came back online, to the Ecency Discord last Wednesday! Around a dozen Hivians came to the show to hang out and to have fun... We had the "freestyle" show format this week, and we went through many topics... I have tried to keep it in the HIVE niche, but we did move off-topic a few times... hehehehehe...

As these "special edition" shows aren't recorded, I will try to share with you at least a glimpse of the topics that we discussed... Not many things happened in the cryptosphere, but despite that, participants were open for fun, and many talks went in a joking direction... Which is fine... We had some short discussions, some long discussions, and in the end, the show was almost 2 hours long! 😱

Let me run through the topics... As I like to play some music before the show, the first topic was about DJ-ing and mix tapes... @felixxx and @jza shared their preferences about it, and later in the show, these two guys were sharing the mic with me most of the time...

The second, obvious topic was hot weather... We had an early summer heat wave in Spain, and it's very hard to focus or do anything without the A/C... We shared some stories of how to "survive" these times, and struggles that our pets have too, in this heat...

Will there be altcoin season this year? That was the next topic that we touched... Lately, Bitcoin is taking all the highlight and gives no space to altcoins to shine... If that continues, the altcoin season is in serious question... Also, the participants of the show agreed that we could view crypto another way around... It's not that crypto is going up, it's more that fiat is melting!

All that led to another important topic... Are the products and services cheaper than they were in the past? Do we have inflation or deflation? Do products have better quality today than they did in the past? I wrote a post about real estate two days ago, and it was partly inspired by the talk in the #HHHLive show!

Along with the chat in voice, we had a parallel chat in the written channel in Discord about HP printers... There were some misunderstandings (on purpose, joking) about HP printers as some of them thought there were HivePower printers... 😂

I have no idea how we moved into the SmartTV discussion from there, but we did... 😂 DO they make sense or not, Stremio platform, IPTV service platforms, hotel TVs, and similar stuff...

But, we did have a talk about HIVE again... @friendlymoose was kind to share the new curation tool that was developed thanks to his efforts and donations... You can check the tool here: https://thecrazygm.com/hivetools/pct, and if you have some requests or ideas, feel free to send them to @friendlymoose! It's not a tool that ONLY curators can use, it is a search/filtering tool that anyone can use...

In the announcement post, @davideownzall had a question for the audience.

What you want to achieve with hive?

I did forward the question to participants, but as we were in the "funny mood", most answers didn't have a serious note... (sorry about that) @jza mentioned how his idea was to blog about his personal stuff and to have it written in the blockchain forever... No worries about renewing a domain name, hosting, updating scripts, etc With HIVE, it's much easier to do it...

I shared my view on this question and how my answer changed through time... At the beginning, I had an idea of earning money with HIVE, and maybe living from that, but nowadays, my goal is to have fun, to make friends, and to help out others by sharing my life experience... Sometimes, it can help...

Closer to the end of the show, we talked about crypto adoption, exchanging HBD to other stablecoins, e-commerce, and the possibility that we are all wrong regarding crypto... Maybe we are living in a bubble and crypto isn't that "great" as we think?

I have probably skipped some topics as we were jumping from one to another fast... All in all, we had an interesting show with many dynamics... When there is no one topic, this happens a lot... 😃

These Special Edition shows are not recorded, so if you want to participate in the live discussion, I would strongly recommend joining the future shows! This was just a short recap of things we discussed, but the whole discussion was much broader!

We had 11 participants (including myself)... Thanks, @daddydog, @duskobgd, @felixxx, @godfish, @friendlymoose, @jza, @melinda010100, @palomap3, @relf87, and @travoved! Thanks, everyone, for participating!!!

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 on the mic with us (this time, we had 3 participants in voice)! So POINTS are going to @godfish, @jza, and @felixxx!

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

Thank you for your time.

Was again a fun time to participate and although some conversations were heated, I enjoyed that we are working on having better tools.

As an update I did asked @vaultec about it on X and got an answer.

Good to hear that from Vaultec! I hope the swap will be available soon! It should help a lot with liquidity on and off HIVE...

Oh wow, I appreciate the dynamic on jumping across different topics as part of the discussion. Some of them are quite relatable as I do ponder about them. I think the approach of viewing crypto the other way round, as in fiat melting as opposed to crypto token rising because of some added value, is really spot on. Because when you see it that way, you also ask yourself what are you going to sell into when you cash out on profits in crypto? I guess better to hold more of this digital currencies, despite their volatility, than hold fiat.

Like someone else said in the post about real estate... The home prices went up in fiat, but they actually dropped in BTC!

And that's a great question... Where to cash out? To fiat? lol... In some way, I don't care too much about the cycles anymore... When I need cash, I exchange some crypto, but I will probably never sell all my crypto...

0.00000000 BEE

Same here too for me more or less. Betting more on crypto and only cashing out periodically and for necessities. Hopefully, the secular uptrend with crypto continues well into the future :)

A personal blog without the hassle of site taken down, domain and such is actually a good idea

0.00012022 BEE

I agree! Recently, when I was doing my post about things I did in the past, I had a lot of problems finding something as all the data was taken off...

0.00000019 BEE

It sounds like a productive show. That is quite a few different topics and I think the one that I was most interested in was the alt season one.

As nobody knows the answer, we were just speculating... I suppose we will know the answer in the next few months...

I was outside on time, but it sounds interesting. 😎

It looks like many people decided to be outside in these hot summer days! I'm doing the same at that time, the rest of the days... 😃

I think there will be an altcoin season this year and I hope Hive is one of them.

I know that everyone wants to jump on the "will be be altcoin season" discussion. It's probably one of the trendiest. I didn't have the opportunity to hop on the show, some of my latest commitments keeps me occupied for over 10 hours a day, but I should hope on subsequent shows
