I have been on Hive for 2 and half years now. It has been an awesome journey. Before I join hive, I have been on some social platforms but none is like Hive. Although I use to create content before joining hive, I can beat my chest and say, Hive is unique. Hive existence is getting to a decade soon. Today they are celebrating five years of freedom. In this past five years, hive have done so much in touching lives of people.
Recently I read a post of what Hive has done in lives of Ghanaians, opening the 16th bore holes in Ghana. I stopped and ask, what really is web3 blockchain and why is Hive going all this far. I discovered that, web3 is for human right. Where people can express their thoughts, feelings, engage with others with joy. That is exactly what hive is and is what they are doing. On this chain, I have build strong relationship with people that ordinarily, I won't talk where they are talking but today hive has giving me the opportunity to meet them.
When I'm talking about hive to people, I talk with passion because hive is not for personal gain but for building up of people of the world. Hive is not for a particular tribe, language or profession but for everyone who is ready to learn, contribute to the success of the entire ecosystem. On hive, you will meet different people,some are very good in creating awesome contents, some videos, some threads, some engagement,some are witnesses,some can trade very well, some can take good photographs, what is that you are looking for on hive that you will not.
3 days ago, I had the opportunity to explain to commissioner of LNG about hive. He immediately searched for it and coming on the first page, that is the trending page, he saw a post on worldmappin and the $ attached to it and he asked me, where is this people getting the money they are paying people. I told him that,if he has Hive power, he will add value to people's post. It was a long discussion but at the end, he asked me, how long does it take one to learn Hive and how much does it take to join Hive. When I explained, he said our youth need to more about this platform,it is so unique. Honestly, even someone who is not really active on hive will tell you, hive is good. I am super excited to celebrate Hive five years anniversary today with fellow hivers. It's time to share with us about my favorite project spendHBD.
SpendHBD
I was introduced to this project December 2024 by fokusnow who has opened the first ever web3 supermarket in Nigeria where customers are trained to join hive and earn rewards by shopping with HBD. This spendHBD project is for the people as you can find out more about it in this post . When I got the vision of this project, I went to radio station to announce it because I know that the vision is for people to better their lives through Hive. No business Man cares if his customer get cash back or not but Hive cares. Yes this spendHBD project cares. What you need to do is to convert your fiat to HBD and walk in to any listed business in your country and shop with HBD and instantly you claim reward through distrator app
Since January ,I have been shopping with HBD and get my reward. I have also help so many people to join hive through spendHBD project and they found out that, hive has all it takes for one to be happy among the living. Education, innovation, infrastructure, charity programs, all this in one platform. There has been a lot of life changing opportunity since the opening of the web3 supermarket by fokusnow. Now I can easily tell someone in Aba to go there to learn and shop with HBD because he arranged a training space inside the supermarket for customers and existing hivers. Something like this has never been done anywhere before,but through spendHBD,it is possible today that many people on Hive blockchain are seeing the project as another powerful tool to onboard many people to hive and not just that, it will help to retain people on Hive.
spendHBD project is attractive that whenever you mention it to people, they must give you attention to hear more about hive. Just this evening as I went to one of the listed business with a friend to shop, 2 ladies came in and one of them is a hiver who came to shop with HBD. I quickly asked the one who is not a hiver if she has signed up on Hive, she said know and asked why, before she said the reason,I told her that there is a project called spendHBD on hive and she said my friend has told me. In that case I told her that, it will be nice decision if she join hive soon. While I was talking to her in the supermarket, a woman who just finished shopping was listening to the discussion and she came to me and asked, what is HBD? , I quickly introduced the project to her and she was ready to sign up immediately. Unfortunately I don't have enough time to do that as it was getting late, she quickly gave me her number for more discussion tomorrow on spendHBD project. SpendHBD is a project that everyone is involved whether you know how to write or not because the only work you will do is to scan the QR code for payment and claim your reward in distrator app. Below is how the page to claim reward looks like.
You can see the reward level from 20%to 40%, we also have shop onboarder reward of 2.5% to appreciate them for their efforts in helping business owners to understand what spendHBD project is and accept HBD as means of payment in their shop. What we doing here is that, you as a hiver will shop with HBD in any listed business and go with your items. This is really awesome to see it happening in many countries now. In spendHBD project, we also have commission reward of 2.5% for you as a hiver helping people to join hive and teach them how to shop with HBD. You can see that another name for hive here is helping hands.
For this payment of HBD to be successful, the spendHBD team also added v4v.app which is digital POS. This is where each country changes their payments to their local currency. If you input your local currency, it will give you HBD equivalent. Fantastic right. All this is done through hive keychain. Everything is in hive, shopping with HBD is simple and fast, you know what, no charges,no bank,no government control. See one of my recruit coming out of JUDEL SUPERMARKET so excited on shopping with hbd for the first time.
This is a wife of one the top guys in my city, I have known her for 2 years, I am the one visiting them but because of spendHBD project, she came to my house for the first time so that I will take her to supermarket to shop. When she told me that she love the project,I was surprise. She has introduced 3 of her friends to spendHBD. Right now,she is making arrangements for me to meet her women and explain HBD to them. When I told her that she can save HBD on hive and earn dividend, she was happy for all that information. What would have attracted her to Hive if not spendHBD project because she is too busy to sit and write. Another thing about this project is that ,it will retain people on Hive because who is that person that doesn't shop weekly if not daily. It is also easy for people to recruit others too as they don't need to talk too much for the new person to understand Hive and what hive has to offer to humanity.
In conclusion, hive has no compare, even those competitors are of no match to hive. Hive has gone too far that,they can't reach hive than to learn from Hive. Hive is all in one app, all in one ecosystem,all in one blockchain. The only person who will not like hive is that person who is not ready to learn new things or improve in one quality of life or another.
Happy five years anniversary Hive.
I appreciate
