There's Something Special About This Blockchain

in LeoFinance2 years ago

Ready for story time with Jongo?

So this isn't going to be how awesome Hive is for it's potential! I'm not going to write about the amazing applications being built on the blockchain. Neither will I mention the epic games that have found a home here.

This post is going to be a little different in many aspects....

I'm going to talk about Hive's greatest asset. It's people!

Let's begin with that story time I promised....

So a few years ago, we were firing up the CTP Tribe!

I knew nothing about building a Discord server but was told...If you are into crypto, you must have a Discord server. O.k., let's get one!

Things started out pretty smoothly! We had the CTP team fired up. Members of our community rolling up their sleeves to learn everything they could. And we attracted people outside of our little circle.

One of those guys was a dude from the west coast of America named @torrey.blog

You may know him under another username, and that's @hivetrending from the Hive Pizza Guild!

Torrey, from the get go, was always looking to help out. He developed a slick little app while he was hanging out in the CTP Tribe, and was always around to chat and seemed to really enjoy the community.

I'm not sure of exactly how it happened, but he met up with Beard and created the @hive.pizza guild and witness group. In case you have been living under a rock, Hive Pizza is one of the premier tipping services on chain and a hub of activity for gamers and creatives.

So before I go any further, everyone should most definitely vote @pizza.witness for Hive Witness!

O.k., now I want to get to the good stuff.....

Torrey has been super busy with Pizza but has always been around to help us at CTP whenever there's a hiccup. Recently, we've run into some personal problems within the team that has hurt our ability to stay on top of everything technical immediately.

We figure things out, but there are days when we're banging our heads against the wall.

A few weeks ago, we ran into some issues with our witness server on Hive Engine. And without wasting a second, Torrey was in touch with @elianaicgomes and they started working on a fix.

Today, we hit a hiccup again and guess who was there....Never asking for a thing. Never saying he'd charge us for the help. Just a good dude, from a solid project that I thought should get some kudos tonight!

You see, this is the kind of people that Hive attracts. Yeah sure, there are faceless and nameless people behind the scenes that like to stir up trouble, but guys like Torrey are the DNA of what Hive so special.

People like him don't ever ask to be recognized. They just want to see this entire blockchain succeed.

Thank you sir, for all the help and support over the years. You are very much appreciated!

Jon, you are spot on. The biggest asset Hive has is its people. I couldn't agree more! +1 to you my friend, and I have new people to follow thanks to the great post. :)

Awesome man, thanks for stopping by. You can't go wrong with the community on the blockchain!

I'm happy to help

Appreciated man! You saved our butts!

I have to agree @hivetrending is an incredible person!

I agree there are a lot of people on the Hive Platform willing to help out whenever needed. Most go unnoticed until they are needed. I think they more than out way those on the opposite side of the spectrum.

!PIZZA

That's the thing, most go unnoticed. Think it's good to highlight people every now and again!

Every community requires people. And people need to be there for interaction, help and progressing the chain. No chain can grow if there are less people. I feel like Hive is perfect chain for those who want to interact and grow their efforts on chain. I feel it's a good chain worth investing.

So true. If you want to engage and grow, you can do it on Hive for sure!

It's just like the old days of the Internet, pre web. The community was fantastic.

The people here are pretty awesome. I have gotten so much help from many of them over the years. It has been great. I don't understand the tipping services. I can never get the syntax right so I just gave up on them a long time ago!

ha ha ha I hear ya. It's all got to do with stake. So when you stake the token, that determines how much you give out with each tip like !CTP and !PIZZA

Community, community and community! That is the key. It is appreciated that there are people who are willing to help the community.

Agreed! Selfless acts help Hive grow!

Wow, that is amazing and there is definitely something special about Hive. It's nice to have someone there to help you and the pizza project is quite amazing. It has gone beyond what a tipping token is and they do some amazing stuff.

They really do. Such an awesome community and project for Hive!

Well, I won't say that it is a must to be on Discord if you are conversant with crypto but it will be an added advantage because there are many opportunities on Discord.

I'm not a huge fan of it, but I'm here because it's where the cool people are lol

Sometimes when you don't ask anything and bring value to an ecosystem. People will help you without fame or money in return.

That's true. I've been very lucky to have that happen to me a few times on chain!

The dedicated community is definitely what makes Hive standout for many of us. There are really good people here that want everyone to succeed and will help out whenever they can. Kudos to him!

We really do have the best people here!

The community and the people are pretty much what makes Hive, for me. It was also materially what led me to largely kiss off Farcebook.

lol I'm still trying to bring my family and friends from facebook over here!!
