Vitalik Buterin appeared on a recent episode of the Tim Ferris Podcast to discuss everything going on with Ethereum, but during the conversation he also talked about HIVE, using it as an example of how a community can fork a project when there are concerns about how the blockchain is being managed. This endorsement could have something to do with the spike in Hive price that has coincidentally taken place around the same time the interview was posted online.
Start listening just after 22 minutes. I have the selection qued up:
The discussion explores a lot of blockchain basics but is still interesting.
Unfortunately, this might not have been the best time for the site to be getting so much attention, considering that links on the website seem to be broken and are currently impossible to share on other social media websites. Other interfaces like Peakd work totally fine, but whenever I try to share a Hive link with someone, this is the notice they receive. This may not seem like a big deal, but if people are unable to share our links this can significantly impact the chances of the platform going viral in situations like this.

thanks! couldnt find this! adding this to the post!
If you listen to the podcast on Spotify, it’s takes a total of 9 minutes for the intro/adds.
here ya go, it comes up around 22 minutes on this... someone in the comments found the youtube video, for some reason it wasn't available when i looked
Probably because WW3 started about a year ago on the blockchain and it's still going on til this day.

At 22 minutes in the podcast is when he mentions steem/hive
That's very cool. I will have to check it out.
Reddit is a good place to share posts and links. There is a Hive network subreddit that allows you to share and promote your posts, and has links to Hive, PeakD, and other Hive websites.
If you hadn't heard, there was a fire at a data center and it took api.hive.blog offline.
ouch.
You say you have the video queued up at the 22 minute mark but it didn't work? Did you set it up correctly or is there a bug on our side?

Not sure ... Which bug?
It is automatically opening at the correct time when I click on the video in Peakd. The video that I posted in the comments was not qued up, but the one in the actual article should be.
Over 200 votes and no comments? I'm curious as to why hive link sharing is broke.
(Edit) At the time of posting this it was done through hive.blog which seems to be continuing to have problems which may or may not be related to the data center fire in France. I could not see any posts and then noticed the post sign read 15 even though none were visible.
The error you say other people have from links to Hive is not that it is hard to link, but rather that Hive has been down a lot lately. The frontend hive.blog was down yesterday, and part of today. Also, stemgeeks.net was also down. PeakD, LeoFinance, and Ecency were working, but very slowly. Something is wrong with one of the nodes, and it is slowing the entire thing down. Either it is hive.blog or stemgeeks.net.
Thanks for this information, I listened to the interview
Feels gud
Hive shows what is possible. Crazy right if we look at MC :D
I will have to check it out
HIVE!D
Excellent interview and great find!
Thanks for sharing a possible reason for the bump in price.
High Regards!
That would more than explain why the price went up. Hopefully the problem with failing nodes can get fixed, and Hive can go viral and become a popular website, overtaking Steemit.
