BRO NEWSPAPER | ISSUE 14 | 2022

We try to keep you informed of tribes in which we have invested with Brofund, so that you as a BRO-Holder have also invested indirectly in those projects. Because of this it can happen that you see some tribes often, and others not at all. This has nothing to do with the tribe itself, or that these tribes are not active. It only has to do with the fact that we have not (yet) invested in it. Since @raymondspeaks is always on the lookout for projects on Hive-Engine that he wants to support, this can change from week to week.

^{We have decided not to include more than 3 projects per week in the Bro Newspaper. This makes it easier for you to read, and you don't get an abundance of information. And if I were you, I would pay close attention to those three projects, because that could become very interesting in a short time. For now, let's just say that your time and attention could pay for itself!}

Hello BROs!

The 14th newspaper already. And the first quarter of this year is already over. according to experts, we are on the brink of another bull run, and I can start again. In any case, there was certainly some bullish news to report for one of Hive's biggest projects last week.

Now that we said that ... Let's dive in this weeks;

TRIBE & PROJECT NEWS

SPLINTERLANDS

Big News! And not just any news, but really big news!

Just to throw out the big news right away. Last week @splinterlands announced that SPS can now be traded on one of the largest exchanges in the world. Yes, now I have your attention, huh?

You read it right. Splinterlands SPS has been listed at Crypto.com. That is of course great news! And that's not all news.

If you already had an account with Crypto.com it might be a bit sour, but if you didn't already have an account then I have more news for you. Splinterlands is hosting a major marketing campaign in honor of their listing there, and anyone who opens an account NOW on Crypto.com has a chance to win extra SPS. The total package of SPS that Splinterlands has allocated for this marketing campaign has a value of no less than $500,000.

If you haven't warmed up by now, I don't know what will.

And just for your information. At Crypto.com you can find many more benefits. Including the well-known Metal Card, a prepaid debit card, which you can use to pay for your groceries, for example. And then also get a cashback in the native token of Crypto.com (CRO).

Check the website to see what Crypto.com has to offer.

In any case, bullish for SPS, and Splinterlands!

For the second tribe this week, You and I need to become a bit "Nerdy". And with that, of course, it becomes clear to everyone that I'm talking here about;

CTP / LISTNERDS

@blainjones and @jongolson are developing something amazing here. It is a project that is still in full swing, but it is a great tool to attract more engagement to your blog, for example. However, that's just one of the options you can think of with Listnerds. It is advisable to dive into all the possibilities that CTP / Listnerds has for you. IT IS WELL WORTH IT

But I didn't want to discuss the possibilities today. Today I wanted to talk about the new developments. As of this week, all "Nerds" have gained a reputation. And this reputation can help you vote. Suppose you have just become a "Nerd", and you have no, or only a small CTP stake, then you do not have many votes to hand out. Then this reputation can help you decide which emails deserve your sparing votes. The higher the reputation, the more value the "Nerd" in question contributes to CTP/Listnerds... and often to Hive as well. That's just one way the newly acquired reputation on Listnerds can be helpful.

Then there's that second new feature that deserves to be mentioned. And that second new feature is called "CHANCES". If you now decide that you want to buy Listnerds from Hive-Engine. (And let me tell you a secret, staking Listnerds IN Listnerds is very lucrative), then the new feature gives you a chance to double your purchase! Cool right?

There are a few more things going on behind the scenes. And if you click on the link above, you'll hear @blainjones, @jongolson and the lovely lady @elianaicgomes discuss all this.

Have fun watching the video!

The third thing I want to tell you about today is our own;

THE MANCAVE

It's no coincidence that I saved this for last. It has everything to do with the announcements that @raymondspeaks made in discord earlier this week.

No Aprils fool, but having BRO will earn you more BRO since April 1th. How? Very simple, by not giving out LEO dividends. Instead of giving out LEO dividends, the LEO will be collected for one week. At the end of the week Ray will buy back BRO with the collected LEO. And all the BRO that has been bought with that, will be sent out to BRO holders! GREAT news isn't it? I can talk about more advantages of this construction, but I guess you can all see that for yourself. One of the side effects from this could be an increasing BRO value! But wait, there was more ...

Ray also has invested 1000 dollars of his own money for the BROs in an offchain wallet!

What? Hey, that's cool!

Yeah, that's definitely very cool. But much better is that if everything goes according to plan, this 1000 dollars in a year's time will be good for a very nice daily income for the BROs.

And now comes the reason why I saved this for last, I need to talk briefly about this investment.

Ray has invested this $1000 in;

DRIP COMMUNITY

No doubt there are BROs who know what DRIP is, and probably some BROs who have no idea what DRIP is. I will explain very briefly. DRIP is a project where you make an investment, you stake it, and this is your initial investment locked forever! But this is where the fun starts, because on this investment you will receive 1% daily with a maximum of 365%.

If you do nothing for 365 days, then after 1 year you can claim your 365%, and after deducting the taxes, (10% for claims and 10% for sales), you have 245% DRIP profit. Now I deliberately say DRIP profit, because of course DRIP is a crypto and the price can fluctuate!

However, there is also the possibility of COMPOUNDING. And this is where it gets interesting. Ray wants to grow the wallet of the BROs, which means that he is going to compound. And with that, the initial investment of the BROs grows daily. But with a growing initial investment, the maximum payout also grows.

To learn all the ins and outs of DRIP COMMUNITY, I would like to refer you to the DRIP website, and who knows, you might be the next Dripper! DYOR

Now back to THE MANCAVE. With this investment it is possible that the income of the BROs will grow substantially. Which is of course the intention. And this can flow back into Hive projects, and thus into your dividends. And this is just one of the possibilities. Exciting times ahead!

If you are ready and have inspiration to write some good stuff, you're more than welcome to check out;

CONTESTS & CHALLENGES

As we know all too well, sometimes it's hard to figure out what to write about. How often does it happen to you that you have no idea? I have to admit it happens to me regularly. Hmmm, maybe I just don't have a life. In any case, I have to say that I am very happy with the possibilities that Hive offers me, because there are always contests to be found! And those contests make it easy. They give me a topic to blog about, and once I've found a topic, the inspiration comes naturally. If you run into this too, don't worry. Every week I try to find a diversity of contests that you can participate in. It can also be a great way to give your portfolio a little boost, and it's often good for more engagement on your blog.

Before you participate, check the announcement blog so that you see what the rules are.

• Reflection Hunters | Photocontest
  
  

• Weekend Engagement
  
  

• Ladies of Hive Community Contest
  
  

• CineTV Weekly Contest
  
  

• Deranged Visions Photocontest
  
  

• @traciyork's HiveBloPoMo
  
  

• ALIVE engagement contest
  
  

I don't want to overflow the BRO Newspaper with contests, so if you want to find more, go ahead. There are plenty that I didn't mention here. But for us it's time to see if there's some juicy gossip to share.

DID YOU KNOW THAT;

• @Trumpman likes to make sharp and harsh comments in discord.
  But you can say what you want, he also has good ideas and thanks to him the idea to exchange the LEO dividends for BRO came about. Honor where credit is due. Although he will probably comment again with just a word. "GAY".

• I wanted to tell you last week. But that didn't go through because I had so many other things to say. The BROMANCE! We need to come back to that. The last few weeks, to my surprise, I suddenly see no signs at all that anything beautiful would bloom.
  But whether this means that there is no more BROmance going on, I doubt very much about that. It is because BOTH people have suddenly become much less active in discord in recent weeks. What that could mean I leave to your imagination!.
  
  

• Now that many of us want to become a "Nerd", thank @listnerds for this, I did a search for definitions of the word NERD. And in the Netherlands, one of the definitions of a Nerd is, "someone who is not highly developed socially, but is seen as smart and very skilled in (often technical) fields"
  Now I have to say I don't know @jimmy-adames well enough to comment on that. But from @thisismylife I'm actually quite sure that this definition doesn't apply to her at all. The smart and knowledgeable part (technically) isn't what I immediately think of when I talk to her. But her social skills are well above average developed. It seems that the name Listnerds is going to give a new definition to the word Nerds. And I'm actually very curious about the story behind the name @listnerds.
  
  

• @amirtheawesome1 did it again! This time he got stuck in a moon station, getting shot at by aliens. And if that is not enough yet ... his boobs are unsighned!
  What? Yes, that are his own words. So, it seems that we have a man on the blockchain with unsigned boobs, stuck in a moon station. Well, the world of Hive never ceases to amaze me!
  
  

• @stickupboys, who we all know from the GIFs and the music. That same Stickupboys says he has low self esteem.
  This must be a joke right! If there's anyone who, in my opinion, doesn't suffer from low self-esteem, or rather, shouldn't suffer from low self-confidence, it's Stickupboys!
  
  

I'll leave it to this for this week. Next week, new gossips!

So let's have a look at the news that is relevant to each and every one of us. And that's the;

GENERAL CRYPTO NEWS

• Terra’s (LUNA) TVL up 17% in 1 Week, Exceeding BSC and Avalanche
