Hey! Hey! It's Friday! I expect a lot of people are off work today for the Easter holidays, so have fun.
The News
There is plenty happening with Hive lately. Although it has dipped a bit the HIVE price is pretty much matching what it was in the early days and it is back in the top 200 crypto on @coingecko.
The HBD price is a bit out of control and is having some effects on the proposal system, but there effords to sort that out. With such a low market cap it is easily moved.
I hope the latest Hive Power Up Day boosted a few accounts, but I can understand it is more expensive to do so now. Cheap HIVE is nice when you are buying, but when the price goes up it encourages more people to be active.
Hive got some coverage recently on The Capital Press in an interview with some of the development team. It has been lacking in news stories out there, so this is welcome. It can be difficult to find them due to the generic name.
Friday Follows
Here are some people to check out this week:
- ongoing issues@gaottantacinque posted about with abuse that is going on to upvote spam posts and comments. You can help out with manual downvotes or delegate to @keys-defender. There is a script on that post to automate downvotes.
- @bigcatcomics is a comics fan who just joined Hive.
- @run.kirsty.run and @run.vince.run did an Ironman triathlon. It was a first for Kirsty and a great achievement. They are in New Zealand where such events are possible now. They also plan to get married soon!
- @butherfly87 is another new person on Hive who is into crypto. Please make them welcome.
- Also new here is @sippycup540 who is into Linux, comics and gaming.
The Doghouse
There are various debates about the validity of self-voting on Hive. I do not do it, but I think it is acceptable in moderation. If most of your voting is going to yourself then it could be classed as abuse. One such case is Mintdice who vote up all their own comments to over a dollar. They might say that this is due to lack of votes from others, but do they deserve rewards if they cannot find an audience?
The higher HIVE price can lead to more abuse and we need to be vigilant to prevent it getting out of control. Hive benefits from having quality content that is supported by the community. Use your up and down votes to get rewards where they are deserved.
The End
Thanks for reading. Feel free to do your own #FollowFriday post and let me know about it. Together we can build the Hive community.
Hive five!
I am curious if some people will start tslking about over Easter as the same in Christmas and the crypto boosts.
Easter will be cold here, it wont be anything flashy I guess.
(I see you posted from ecency. I just using it as an experiment. Are you happy with it as your frontend?)
Looking to be cool here. Could be snow next week!
I use ecency to mix things up a bit. I posted with the desktop app, but use the mobile one on my phone, so I get their points to boost the odd post.
!ENGAGE 20
I am now using ecency through their normal browser at ecency.com
would you say that the desktop app is more convenient?
I'm not sure there is much in it except the app is not showing my points balance. I had to go on the web site to boost my post. I need to check if there has been a new version. I use peakd for general desktop.
I see now already that the notifications dont automatically refresh which in peakd I am very fond of hahaha..
I will use a bit of everything I guess. I do like the point system indeed getting point for everything hat you already normally do. So that is good
ENGAGEtokens.I've just followed @butherfly87. You can't ignore someone who wants to get rich from crypto.

Added him to the list I think he belongs in. I wonder what other accounts he has.
Great to see Hive moving up towards a more deserved position, hope it is something stable and not as of speculating folks somewhere in the world only.
