I've come to realize aot of people around here aren't only motivated by financial rewards and that's a good thing.
In the message about the new badge it said you will soon be able to give it to others. I assume that means if I transfer hive to vesting but at your account...you get the badge and maybe I get something, too?
I don't think most of the existing tokens will be avaliable or desirable to trade, but maybe they will make some that would make semse to trade...or points based on badges. Monthly author would be a weird one to award someone else. I'm not sure what his road map or end game is, but this is one of the more interesting projects on Hive...and no proposal required.
That would be cool. I was wondering about whether I can gift someone PHUD - which I have since found out means "pussy" in Hindi :D
For the individual account badges it makes no sense, but perhaps there could be some badges that are awarded by a third party. For example, if there was a badge that could be given by a select few who qualify on some metric, would people want it?
