The News
My main news is that I am going to @hivefest. Well I need to get my flight confirmed, but otherwise I am booked up. Be there if you can. I also hit a milestone on @risingstargame by crafting all the available instruments. That has taken quite a while.
The $HIVE price is recovering a little. I could have used some to pay for my trip, but I really want it to go up more before I take any out. I really wonder how the 'legacy coin' maintains any value.
InLeo has a new referral scheme. There are incentives to get people onto Hive and to stick with it.
Rising Star has some artist missions where you can get some special items for your avatar. There are some fun items you can get with their new token that you earn by doing certain other activities

I had some good feedback on my post about musicians joining Hive. Thanks to @giampaolo19, @ugochill, @nonameslefttouse, @stickupboys, @harbiter and @ravenmus1c for their insight. All are worth following (and they get a share of rewards on this post). If you enjoy music then you ought to seek out the quality music that gets posted here and support the artists so that they keep doing it. Even a small vote and a comment is worth something to them. People are getting fed up with other platforms that do not pay them and make it hard to be seen. We cannot all produce valuable content, but we can all support it whilst earning from curation.
@hive-woodpeckers is an interesting project to give opportunities to disadvantaged kids in the UK through learning a craft.
The Dog House
In some cases it can be a matter of opinion who the 'villains' are. I saw this week that a long-term Hivian was getting some downvotes for using 'AI' tools to refine the text on their posts that mostly consist of their own photos. Now they should know that some people here disapprove of such tools, but if a post is mostly original content then it should qualify for rewards. Not everyone is a great writer and may not be using their first language. Others will use tools to generate an image for their post, but in all cases people should declare where these tools were used.
It is likely that the 'AI' will improve and be harder to detect. For now it can be noticeable for being 'too perfect' and being in the 'uncanny valley' of realistic, but it is still early days for the technology. It is up to each of us to decide what to support, but I would prefer that it is real humans that do the creative acts.
The End
How are you 'bearing up' in this market slump? Does it get you down or do you see it as an opportunity? We have to play a long game with Hive, but some of us have been here for many years and feel it should be doing much better by now. We can each play a part in its success and self-interest cannot be the only driving factor.
Hive five!

Thank You for Shoutout. :)
I'm pretty sure you will have a great time in Split. It is a beautiful city. Weather too.
I'm not sure if I will manage. Starting next week, I am going on various trips and I should be back just a bit before HiveFest.
There are too many unknowns for me to be able to decide and reserve at the moment.
If things do click, then I will be seeing you soon in Croatia. :)
Rock On.!

It would be great to see you there, but it sounds like you are busy. Have fun whatever you do!

BEER.Hey thank you so much for mentioning as always 😁
Your post about original music poured some gas into my fire and now I want so much to focus more on sharing my own music and my world here.
Hive five!
I hope you can get something from talking to the others. Maybe some collaboration could come out of it.

I am already thinking about a collab between hive musicians to make some original content here 😉
But sometimes it's really hard to contact people here. The Peakd chat is almost useless and many has their twitter account linked here but I can't send them messages... Need to find a way, maybe a post on music communities? I'll try
Use post comments to make connections. There may be discord channels you can use. I'm off Twtr now anyway.

BEER.The @hive-woodpeckers project is an interesting one especially since I've recently finished a short course
That was one my HiveSQL queries found :) It was associated with a known Brit though.
I haven't let the market get me too much. If anything I am just bored and I want anything to happen.
I really appreciate and admire your work. I feel it is a necessity to shine more light on the fact that Hive can only prosper if the community 'spirit' is awakened.
I mean I love the fact that there are a lot of communities to choose from. You could always find your spot. But somehow this could be a limiting factor to build a wholesome community. With various 'government' in place it becomes difficult for the whole ecosystem to evolve further.
I am writing this here hopefully @stevec and other influential persons could looking into helping Hive evolve further on its path of a Social-Financial Community-Driven Ecosystem.
We have done a lot to come this far, so let's do some more to go further.
I'm not sure how much influence I have. I'm just a guy messing around with this stuff and I want Hive to do well. If I encourage a few people to do something then I'm happy.
Just out of curiosity, do you find Rising Star genuinely entertaining?
I do actually. There's a lot in it that makes me smile. I'm not really playing for profit anyway as it all goes back into the game. I doubt I could easily sell all my cards.
Well, that's the keen thing - playing for fun. Hive needs more games people play for fun, the play2earn concept is more gamble than fun, and likely ends as a ponzi of a kind anyways.
It's always been free to play, but people can opt to spend. Some must have spent a lot
Well, the develope(r) needs some funds to run it :)
100% opportunity! Let's see how it plays out. And congrats on all the instrument crafting, that's a huge feat!! !BEER
Hive price is gradually coming up again
The last time I checked, we’re on $0.19
We can go up more😁😁
