Sunday Weekly HSBI and DUO Token Giveaway, Week 63!

3 weeks ago

Here we are at Sunday again, that week sure went fast! I guess that means it time for another round of HSBI, DUO, BBH, CCD and UNICOIN giveaways. The list of tokens I give out just keeps getting longer which is a good thing in my opinion. I'm glad everyone is enjoying this little initiative as we move into week 63, I am sincerely surprised it has lasted this long. I'll keep it going as long as you all enjoy participating!

Typically the tokens I give out come from my own personal stack. However, this week @cryptounicorn420 gifted me five UNICOINs to use in giveaways. So thank you very much @cryptounicorn420 and her @uni-coin project. Once you have one complete token it can be exchanged for an HSBI unit, and they can be earned by delegating HP to the project or by receiving 0.0025 UNICOINs from the tip bot.

And a quick thank you to @alohaed and @beelzael for sponsoring some HSBI prizes for the second, third, fourth, and fifth place regular spin winners. Thank you so much for your support and helping others grow their Hive accounts! These two are really nice guys who both are dedicated to see Hive grow!

I'll be continuing to give out CCD tokens from @cryptocompany , I delegate some HP and earn some CCD daily. It's a great project, take some time to check it out if you have a chance. Also I'll give out some BBH tokens from the creative mind of @bradleyarrow . The tokens all come from my stack, but feel free to share some love with these projects! Both of them are great guys dedicated to see Hive grow and succeed.

This last week the entry question was about your favorite Star Trek character. I quickly found out that Star Trek isn't nearly as popular as Star Wars, oh well! Before we dive into the results I have a quick quiz question, and the first person to get it right wins one HSBI unit!

What famous producer over-ruled the company board of director's (who voted against the show) to start production of Star Trek?

Now diving into last weeks responses:

Spock

theconversation.com

It seems that Leonard Nimoy's character Spock was the overall favorite by a very large margin. Almost no one else got votes! Second in command to Captain Kirk, who could forget the half vulcan/half human Spock? Everything was about logic for him, and he sure made the show very memorable even for those who may not have been Star Trek fans. Thanks for a great choice to @beelzael , @gwajnberg , @stefano.massari , @silvertop , @okarun , @rosahermosa , @stranger27 , @bigorna1 , @blitzzzz , @ckjcn22 , @gatet , @hatdogsensei , @servelle , @sylmarill , @ladyaryastark , @lumpiadobo and @silverd510 !

Jean-Luc Picard

ew.com

Next up on the list was from the Next Generation series, the one and only Captain Picard. Patrick Stewart crafted his character well, and made him a huge star in the process. After all, he went on to become Professor X from the X-Men... This was our overall second picked character by @dewabrata , @henruc , @ladymisa , @sacra97 , @suisver and @tortangkahoy .

Captain James T. Kirk

trekipedia.com

William Shatner crafted this character well, and as was common in the period, liked to use the tactic of over-acting. Shatner of course went on to super stardom and continues to act until this day, although he is in his mid 90's. Star Trek never would have become what it did without him. Thanks for picking him @tengolotodo and @florakese !

Data

universostartrek.com

Also from Star Trek: The Next Generation we had a pick for Data. This android turned Star Fleet officer was a memorable and likable character. He was constantly trying to become more like a human. It also made actor Brent Spiner a big star as well. As far as I know who is the only Star Trek actor that subsequently went on to star as a James Bond movie villain! Thanks to @pablito.saldo for this choice.

Scotty

nypost.com

We also had a pick for good old Scotty, the ship's engineer. I always remember the line in a Scottish accent "She can't take much more Captain!" Another great pick by @mytechtrail .

Jadzia Dax

cbr.com

This character comes from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. And to be completely honest, it's one of the shows that I never really watched. Played by actress Terry Farrell, this character was a symbiosis of two beings, one a very long lived creature and it's host. That's about as much as I remember about her. A great pick by @doombot75 !

The Borg Queen

looper.com

The Borg Queen was is an interesting character that is part robot and part human. The Borg assimilate biological creatures into half robotic creatures that share one consciousness. She is an interesting creature, and a great pick by @alexvan .

And since I'm short on time the last few I won't do a full section on each. One being Q which was one of my favorites as well, this was picked by @whywhy who also liked 7of9. Then we also had Worf chosen by @cositav , and Dukat by @angeluxx .

Now for today's entry question...

If you could have any pet in the world, what would you choose? We're talking anything, go nuts with it!

The Giveaway

I will be giving out one prize of five (5) HSBI. Second and Third prizes will be 2 DUO tokens, the token I recently launched with @bulliontools and @bitcoinman . It offers those who stake sufficient tokens daily curation on quality posts, dividends, and a tipping bot. It also helps to onboard and retain new Hive members. At the end of the post there is a link to the white paper and where to purchase the tokens. Fourth prize is 100 BBH tokens. Fifth prize will be 250 CCD tokens. To participate you need a reputation level of at least 25 and bots cannot win. And please one entry per person to make it fair to everyone.

I currently have sponsors who also kick in some HSBI units to the second, third, fourth, and fifth regular spin winners. None on the bonus spins. The sponsors can still enter the giveaway, however, if they happen to win on one of the spins they sponsor I will re-spin the wheel for another winner. You can't sponsor HSBI units to yourself!

If you would like to be placed on a weekly reminder list just let me know and I'll make sure you get tagged each week.

How to Enter

Every week this will change. I'm looking for engagement rather than just saying "I am in". There is no need to upvote or re-blog, although if you choose to do so I would appreciate it. This week's question is: If you could have any pet in the world, what would you choose? We're talking anything, go nuts with it!

Choosing the Winners

All valid entries will be placed on the Wheel of Names and I will spin it four times. The first prize will be 5 HSBI units. The second and third prize will be two DUO tokens. Fourth prize will be 100 BBH tokens. Fifth prize will be 250 CCD tokens. And since I am spinning the same wheel four times in a row it is theoretically possible for the same person to win all four prizes! Although I have yet to see it happen, maybe this week?

Deadline

One week from today which will be Sunday June 1, 2025 at 8 A.M. California Pacific Time.

Now to choose last week's lucky winners!
