It's the 15th of December already, I know that's hard to believe! I went ahead and staked all of my available LEO tokens, this month the power up was 161. Not too bad and most were from earnings off of my daily posts. The nice things about staking LEO is that is gives you stake based curations, and who doesn't love a good curation?
This post would be very short if I didn't add on my weekly giveaway, and I'm at week 40 on the ten HSBI giveaway. I also give out some DUO tokens and one legendary Splinterlands card. Every week I pose a question and all you have to do is answer it and you're eligible to win. This past week the question was: "What is your favorite seafood?" Ill go over the results here and then I will share the results and this week's winners!
Shrimp
eatwell101.com
The overall winner pick for favorite seafood goes to shrimp! I have to admit I can't resist some nice shrimp on the grill, it tasted great and is so easy to make. Thanks to this week's participants picking shrimp as their favorite seafood, the list includes: @olaf.gui , @lanzjoseg , @silvertop , @hatdogsensei , @ekavieka , @sylmarill , @logen9f , @henruc .
Crab
pogrebarestaurant.com
The next most popular item is crab, I lumped them together in one category but king crab was the most popular. Crab always tastes great, and was a great choice by @scoutroc , @kungfukid , @coolmidwestguy , @lumpiadobo and @yusmelys . Thanks everyone!
Lobster
mobile-cuisine.com
Lobster is one of those foods that are just so good that it's hard to believe. Ironically, back 200 years ago prison inmates in Massachusetts complained because they were fed lobster so often. It was cheap food back then and there was so much of it that it was the cheapest food to feed prisoners. Today you don't need to go to prison to enjoy some tasty lobster! Thanks for this pick by @anderssinho and @gwajnberg .
Tuna
animalia-life.club
I've always loved tuna, it tastes great! I prefer fresh tuna steaks and especially albacore. It has started to become expensive just like everything else these days, but it's great in sushi and even a sandwich! Thanks for this pick to @whywhy and @unitmaster !
Squid
blog.suvie.com
Squid is one of those foods that people tend to love or hate. I love some good calamari, but not a big fan of it otherwise. This was a pick by @hiveborgminer and @mxm0unite , thanks for the great pick!
Trout
jelitawifiyana.blogspot.com
Last but not least, trout was the pick by @foxkat . Although technically usually a river fish it's still very good to eat! I've mostly had rainbow and cutthroat trout that I used to catch as a kid. Both are very good to eat! It's been awhile since I've gone river fishing, maybe it's time to head to the mountains come spring to catch some!
Now for today's question. What would be your ideal present for the holidays this year?
The Giveaway
I will be giving out two prizes of five (5) HSBI. Third prize will be 2 DUO tokens, the token I recently launched with @bulliontools and @bitcoinman . It offers those who stake sufficient tokens daily curation on quality posts, dividends, and a tipping bot. It also helps to onboard and retain new Hive members. At the end of the post there is a link to the white paper and where to purchase the tokens. There will also be one legendary Splinterlands card as a fourth prize. If you don't play Splinterlands just let me know and I'll send you two HSBI instead. To participate you need a reputation level of at least 25 and bots cannot win. And please one entry per person to make it fair to everyone.
If you have more questions about DUO feel free to ask, it's growth is exceeding all of our expectations!
Legendary Splinterlands card up for grabs this next week:
If you would like to be placed on a weekly reminder list just let me know and I'll make sure you get tagged each week. The list so far is rather short:

How to Enter
Every week this will change. I'm looking for engagement rather than just saying "I am in". There is no need to upvote or re-blog, although if you choose to do so I would appreciate it. This week's question is an easy one:
What would be your ideal present for the holidays this year?
HSBI
If you are unfamiliar with the prize you can learn more here:
https://ecency.com/post/@steembasicincome/hive-sbi
Or check out my recent post:
https://labs.inleo.io/@thebighigg/hsbi-what-are-they-my-experience-and-a-starter-guide
Choosing the Winners
All valid entries will be placed on the Wheel of Names and I will spin it four times. The first prize will be 5 HSBI units. The second prize will be another 5 HSBI units. And the third prize will be two DUO tokens. Fourth prize is a legendary Splinterlands card or one HSBI unit! And since I am spinning the same wheel four times in a row it is theoretically possible for the same person to win all four prizes! Although I have yet to see it happen, maybe this week?
Deadline
One week from today which will be Sunday December 22, 2024 at 8 A.M. California Pacific Time.
Now to choose last week's lucky winners!
And the first spin!
Congratulations @ronnie10 ! You won ten HSBI units!
And the second spin!
Congratulations @gwajnberg ! You won ten HSBI units!
The third spin
Congratulations @henruc ! You have won either the Djinn Oshannus Splinterlands card or two HSBI units! Just let me know what you prefer and I'll get it sent off to you!
The fourth spin

Surprise bonus spins for 2 DUO Tokens Each
Congratulations @gwajnberg and @whywhy you have both won two DUO tokens!

Thank you everyone for all of your support, it's greatly appreciated and helps me fund these fun giveaways to help people build their accounts here on Hive. Have a great Sunday!

Congratulations on your Leo stake for the 15th of December. It felt like just yesterday we entered December, can't wait for the year to end though and we can fully begin to reap the dividends of these power-ups we do in a proper bull run year.
This year has flown by... A proper bull run would be great, I've got my fingers crossed that the alts will finally kick into gear. Hive is struggling to hand onto .30 and BTC is on the climb. Hopefully Hive will get some momentum soon!
I think as always Hive is moving "late" it's frustrating how it can be though, but I think BTC has started moving again, so hopefully we will join
Thanks for the duo!! Best present for me is silver or gold !!!! To receive and to give! Q cool investment that can bring also nice art ;)

You could go the easy route ane say money, but that is boring.
Do woul instead say that the perfect christmas present for me would be a new pair of Madshus Redline DP1 cross country skiis.
Now those would be a really nice gift! I wish I could ski still, but my knees decided they were done with skiing!

A new laptop would be the best present just because mine is over 8 years old and it has been showing its age for a while.
Time for a new one, my old laptop is on it's last legs as well. I end up using the desk top one because it's much newer. I hope you get one!

Yes DUO again 🙏
My ideal gift would be a hardware wallet but I will probably have to buy it myself
I'm glad you liked it! We just need to get you up to 200 to start taking advantage of the votes and dividends! Hardware wallets are a great thing to have, I really ought to buy a new one too!

Djinn Oshannus
My ideal present for the holidays this year would be a new gaming setup. This could include a high-quality monitor, a comfortable gaming chair, and maybe some noise-canceling headphones.
I'll get him over to you! I hear you one the chair, I really need a new one too! I hope you can get the whole setup, that would be sweet!
Congratulations to all who participated and above all congratulations to all the winners,
WOW, the answer to that question is two requests, one of the gifts I want is to have a lot of health, to be healthy, because with that everything else is free, and the other gift I want is to have a lot, but a lot of economic and financial liquidity, so that in my fridge and in the fridge of my relatives there is no lack of food.
!BBH
Great gifts for sure, it you don't have your health what do you have? Financial security would be great too, the last thing you want it to go hungry!
