I have engaged in marketing for HIVE!! That's right, I full on paid USD money to advertise for HIVE and its story, in context, to a room full of nerds and dudes named Ben on the No Agenda podcast.
By donating $333.33 USD, I became an executive producer of NO AGENDA EPISODE 1321: "Doctored Evidence". In doing this, I also got them to read my note on the show!
Referring to a topic on their very last show, that Chinese interests were behind the 'new' social media platform Clubhouse, I took the opportunity to tell the boys about the geopolitical occurrence which happened to us over the last year.
Here is the text of my note, or go to 2 hours and 5 minutes and 40 seconds to hear John C. Dvorak reading it.
Dear John and Adam.
Your discussions of social media are very important, and your mention of 'clubhouse' with agora/chinese interests on the last show led me to donate.
I was heavily involved in a social media blockchain called STEEM. Early last year, the US based blockchain was 'taken over' by Chinese interests, led by Justin Sun of TRON. This was a DPoS attack (delegated proof of stake) along a known vector, and a very large segment of the community engaged in a hardfork to circumvent the Chinese Attack vector (which was $$$ money $$$).
There was a lot of scandal, but is very relevant GeoPolitically. Here is a link to read more for the show notes: cointelegraph. com/news/steem-community-resists-takeover-hard-fork-launches-hive-network
This 1 year old social media blockchain is called HIVE, can be viewed on peakd. com (and a dozen other domains), and could be used to immutably store the text 'archives' for No Agenda Social, if you so wish. I have plenty of tokens to make this happen, if someone wants to contact me I am @ecoinstant on No Agenda Social.
I was so pleasantly surprised to hear Adam jump in with a good word about HIVE, as he is good friends with @brianoflondon - Adam Curry went so far as to reveal that HIVE will be featured in PODCASTING 2.0!!!!
To me this is huge news, and as far as I know, the very first time HIVE was even mentioned on a platform as big as this, and it was in the context of 'this is going to help us revolutionize the industry'. Adam Curry is working basically full time now on making Podcasting 2.0 protocol, and I too believe in a protocol based future.
Today, HIVE is pumping like mad.
Coincidence? I think not!
Now go check out the No Agenda show and further cross pollinate these communities!

Fantastic work! I hadn't got to your donation yet because I've been coding solidly building the Hive version of Value 4 Value. You are going to LOVE IT.
This is a direct link to your donation segement on @podfriend which is one of the great new Podcasting 2.0 apps right now.
Check out this episode: 1321: "Doctored Evidence", from the podcast No Agenda
You should also be in the No Agenda Producers community.
I had heard your notes on the show before, thank you for your courage!

Great work!
I was going to let you know that @brianoflondon is very involved in podcasting and close to Dvorak and Curry, but I can see he has already commented.
Normally I would have heard his donation earlier today but I've been coding into the night so I only just got to it in the show.
Adam kindly acknowledged my work on the show.
What a great overall segment for HIVE!
That's awesome, dude! Silly question, though, I thought Justin was Korean, not Chinese? Wasn't it the Korean community on Steem who backed him because he tried saying that anyone being against him was just racism against Koreans? Or are you referring to it as Chinese influence because of the Binance part?
It is my understanding that he is a Chinese Billionaire. The Korean community was an influential voting block between Justin Sun as 'HKdev' and the heavily western slate of 'top witnesses'. In the end, the Koreans did try to mediate, but it was a difficult situation and not everyone was on their best behavior.
CZ of Binance is another Chinese Billionaire in this tale!
It is my firm belief that the two sides of this and other polarized issues can be overcome through federated protocols such as 'Fediverse', Podcasting 2.0, and of course things like HIVE!
Ohhhhhhhhhh I totally did not know that. My bad! Thanks for the clarity.
Definitely Chinese. Lot of Koreans were involved in the hostile takeover on JS's side however.
Now I'm not sure if I saw someone else saying he was Korean or just saw so many in the community fighting his side and assumed like an idiot. I should have checked!
I am very glad to hear about this. I for one am planning on becoming acquainted with this podcast now. Moreover, if it's a good fit there are one or two topics for which I'd consider making a similar contribution.
Well played!
Listening now...
Wow, thank you so much!
All time high in terms of trading volume against USDT on Binance!

That's good work, man. Thanks for taking advantage of this opportunity and putting your own funds on the line. I try to help out and evangelize where I can, but I'm not that great at it. Thanks for spreading the word. It helps me spread the word better too. People are more likely to listen to a shill if two people from different points of view are talking about it.

Exactly - because someone had gone before, it was well received! He even said on the show 'You are the second person to mention this to me!'.
ITM! And thanks for keep upvoting my content!
Happy to know there are some fellow producers roaming around here and i remember hearing your donation note when Adam was reading it on the show!
I mainly use my 3speak channel to rebuild my Weather Modification Observation Diary, which Youtube deleted without warning in April 2019 when i was about to reach 3000 subscribers. Started looking into other platforms but the alternatives where still only starting to form. Then ran into some heavy trolling issues on here and stepped away from Hive cause i didn't want to deal with all the 'tin-foil hat' insults from moronic accounts and deluded guardians of hive truth.
(Any idea what is wrong with this spaminator acount?
It still keeps voting down everything i upload on 3speak.)
But now that Hive is gaining in value i thought to upload the rest of my archive of videos and see where things will go in the next months to come.
wow that's huge news congrats man! So there are huge changes that this pump came out of your effort entirely!

Well, who knows if someone else helped or not 😅
You are doing great work man! This was an amazing idea and shows what just the slightest of spending on marketing could do for Hive as a whole. The fact you chose to do this through No Agenda just shows that you're good people all the better. Please accept my 33 SBI donation as a token of my appreciation for what you did here.
For everyone else if you're looking for a breakdown of today's interesting times then I strongly recommend the @no-agenda podcast. John and Adam put on an extremely entertaining show that shares opinions you won't always get elsewhere. They rely on value for value to fund their show through donations like @ecoinstant's to ensure they're not beholden to advertisers. You can also join the No Agenda Producers community here on Hive that is graciously run by Sir @brianoflondon to be even more tied into the show.
This is absolutely amazing!
Thank you so much for this! I feel like I should have waited a little before trading most of my liquid HIVE for LEO (in preparation for for __________ and governance airdrops).
Thanks for the shoutout, I came via your post.

Hello, good afternoon friend, I'm @marshallmustang, I'm sorry but I'm in a bad situation, I have debts and lack of food, I know that my drawings helped you a lot and I appreciate the help you gave me, and I would like to resume work if you allow me, I need to buy the materials and some food but I will not leave you bad with the work, since you know that my art is good and that I need your support.
I love it, this is the way!
