It was a real struggle to catch up with these recordings as of the 3Speak issues... Their upload service is still offline, so I have decided to upload all unpublished videos on YouTube... As I queued 3 and had other shows running during the wait, I tried to split them through 2 weeks, to not overwhelm you guys... Today, I have uploaded last week's show, so we are up-to-date!!!

Created in Canva.com

Another show that we began slowly as only the "family" was there at the beginning, and just when I thought that this very important topic would be interesting enough, others joined the show and we had another memorable HHHLive episode! Don't forget to scroll down and check out the recordings... As it is on YT, if you are not too good with English, you can turn on subtitles in your native language...

The titbits method from the last recap worked very well, so I will repeat it in the future too... If you want to check more information about them, check out the recording! They are here just to give you an idea of what was discussed!

At the beginning of the show, I talked a bit about decentralization, physical and monetary decentralization (tokens and nodes)... Importance of decentralized nodes all around the world... Consensus voting for hard forks of the chain... It doesn't matter how much HivePower you have, as every witness in Top20 has the same "weight"...

After that, I listed some of the reasons why people vote for witnesses... These reasons are some of those that I got from others by reading their comments or posts on this topic... These are not rules, or anything similar, just examples... For example:

• It has a lot of skin in the game! - He will take care of its stake, be more cautious, more responsible
• The HBD APR is 20%! - That was a very huge selling point to some to vote... until the HIVE price went down significantly... APR went down, it wasn't a big drama at all... I suppose people understand that there is a time for a big APR and a lower APR...
• He/she is a main developer and he knows the best what's good or bad for the chain
• They are curating content on HIVE, they are doing something useful
• He/she is raising some important questions that nobody wants to ask... I support him!

After that, the stage was from HHHLive participants... @palomap3 was the first to break the ice in the show! She shared witnessed that she is voting for... As she is deep into the Spanish community, she supports those witnesses... She shared how she voted mostly for Top20 when she joined HIVE, and we agreed that most of us did the same! Until we met other witnesses and dived deeper into their services, views, opinions...

@buttcoins shared why, recently, he made changes in his list of voted witnesses... When he realized that he didn't know why he was voting for some people, he decided to vote for people who met, who he knows, so he has a more personal approach to witness voting...

@achim03 stated that we are voting for people who have aligned opinions like us... Also, as a witness, you should listen to the community, and what they want to see on HIVE... In the end, it is a balance between taking into account what others are thinking... Witnesses should share their (Hive witness) journey through updates... Hive Fest is a good place for doing that!

@wanderingmoon wants to have some kind of relationship, and connection with the witness to vote for it!

Closer to the end of the show, I decided to ask the opposite question... What would have to happen that you would NOT vote for some witnesses?

@buttcoins gave an example of 3Speak and current issues... Maybe that could be a good reason to unvote the witness, to "provoke" reaction, to push them to be better... Voting and unvoting don't have to be for forever, you can change votes in a day...

@jaydr came on the mic to "defend" 3Speak and their downtime... But we didn't attack them at all! 😃 Regarding voting for some witnesses, he stated that he likes to research the witnesses before giving his vote! That's the way to do it!

That was a good moment to wrap up the show...

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

We had 12 participants (including myself) in the show this week!!! Thanks for participating, @edwing357, @achim03, @bulkathos, @buttcoins, @foxkoit, @jaydr, @melinda010100, @mypathtofire, @palomap3, @sacra97, and @wanderingmoon! Thank you guys and girls for joining, sharing your views, opinions, and experience, and having fun!

Of course, we had an after-show where we continued talking about the topic! That's something that I didn't expect that we would do, after such a "slow start"! 😃

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, we had 4 participants on the mic, @palomap3, @achim03, @jaydr, @wanderingmoon, and @buttcoins! Thanks for sharing the stage with me! So, this week, Ecency POINTS are going to them!

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

Thank you for your time,
