Happy Saturday, friends ! Also Happy HPUD for anyone who's forgotten it ๐
Here's my weekly update.... https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@alonicus/saturday-savers-2025-progress-report-week-9
To comment on some of the posts above (yes, I did go and read them ๐)...
@bozz post on comments was spot on. I think a lot of Hivers don't realise how much more they can get out of the ecosystem if they engage more. But the note that it's not a job, it's a hobby really struck home. So often we're told to treat it like a job if we want to earn good money on Hive, but my view is I've got one of those already, Hive is just a hobby with side-earnings as an additional benefit.
The two posts on V4V are fabulous because they show how HBD is slowly gaining use cases out in the "real world". I'm not sure how (or even if) V4V relates to Distriator (one of my other favourite Hive projects), but both are doing great work brining Hive to a wider audience. The only thing that makes me a bit sad is that it's all relating to face-to-face transactions. With HBD having fast transaction times and no fees, the right user-friendly solution could be a real winner for e-commerce sites wanting to take crypto payments.
Also, Apis Bee.... I love it ! 'Nuff said ๐

It's really easy to burn out if you try to treat it as a job and you already have one of those. Some people are able to manage it well and I commend them.

Yes, lots to learn, glad you're enjoying Apis!
