Shopping Day with HBD: Introducing Newbies to SpendHBD

It wasn’t a scheduled Shokin day for our entire team, but there were a few things we needed to buy, so we decided to use HBD to make the purchases. I also took the opportunity to sign up and introduce a newbie to the SpendHBD initiative.

Let me tell you all about it!

The Excitement of Spending HBD

Here I am in the picture below, smiling and feeling so happy, because the thought of spending HBD directly at a store fills me with so much joy!

I waited for my sister, who also planned to shop today with a newbie. With her baby in tow, we headed to God’s Own Supermarket, one of our go-to places for amazing services.

There were a few others who decided to join us, @nikky01, and @jenny who came with her husband to get him signed up, and a friend who also asjed me to sign him up. In total, there were five of us, all excited to shop and showcase the ease of using HBD.

As if the day couldn’t get better, on getting ti the supermarket we ran into @fokusnow, who had brought a group of people he was introducing to the SpendHBD initiative. It’s always inspiring to see the community grow and witness new people experience the benefits of Hive firsthand.

Introducing the Newbies

Here’s the exciting part: we didn’t just shop — we also onboarded new members to Hive!

@yummycruz1 signed up @djhimalt and guided him through his first SpendHBD experience.
I signed up @dannymotors and assisted him with his purchases.

Seeing their excitement as they navigated this innovative way of spending digital currency was truly fulfilling.

The Shopping Experience

God’s Own Supermarket never disappoints. The seamless process of spending HBD here is why we always return for our shopping needs.

I made my purchase as you see in the link below:

Conclusion

Days like these remind me of the growing power of the Hive ecosystem. It’s more than just a platform — it’s a lifestyle. By onboarding new people and helping them see how they can shop with HBD, we’re not only expanding our community but also showing the real-world usability of Hive.
