Just when you thought you knew everything about #CometWeek...
You find out that there's a Surprise Mission right!?
Want me to tell you all about it?!
Ok!
I will...
But you gotta promise me you'll read this right to the very end of this section of the #CometWeek White Paper.
This has an important message to it!
I'm serious. It really does and I think you'll see why I think so too...
But you gotta stick with me here Ok?
Your Hive Story Is My Hive Story
You see... It can get pretty easy to forget that there is a whole world out there outside of Hive... I mean we all had to come from someplace though right!?
But that's the thing...
Hive is quickly becoming an epicenter from some pretty amazing stuff and if you wanted to... you could easily spend all your online time right here on Hive right?!
I know I could! And actually I did!
For the first 3 years I was on the blockchain I practically forgot all about Facebook (Thank god!), Twitter (What's the point?!), and Youtube (Why bother right?!) I was 100% focused on making Hive the go to destination!
But then I met this guy, @NathanMars! And that's when I realized how important it was to tell other people about what we are doing here on our Blockchain!
That's when I started to think like a Hive Owner!
That's when I finally understood that If we didn't take the promotion and community 1st marketing of Hive seriously... Hive wouldn't be a foundation worth to building on. You seriously need people to make anything worthwhile!
Well... I really wanted Hive to be that digital destination. A busy buzz of digital activity based on state of the art blockchain technology that people were actually using and excited about!
I had spent the last 2 years building out my fitness entrepreneurial ideas. I believed in Hive 100%! Enough to sell off my very tangible fitness studio and sink all of that capital (and more!) into jumpstarting my business here on Hive!
But what good would it do if there was no one to come and experience it?
I have been in business for over 10+ years now and if there's anything I know... Being willing to do whatever it takes to succeed has got to be your MO if you want to succeed.
As well... I knew that if you want to stay in business you have got to stay sharp. You can't keep your business your best kept secret... You have got to tell everyone about your venture if it is to succeed.
It's common sense!
That's how owners think. And my vision for how Hive was going to digitize my fitness business was evolving rapidly. I no longer looked at Hive as a 5 year investment play... I could see Hive's potential. No. This was actually turning into a 20 year plan!
So thinking like an owner I threw myself into the gaps on the social2.0's Twitter (mainly), Fitbit (some), and Youtube (a little)... All the places I didn't want to be. And I did it only for the purpose of promoting the Hive Blockchain!
Having this focus actually made it more fun and meaningful to be on those other social media sites. The mission was to tell people about Hive. I wasn't really trying to build an audience on any of those dysfunctional platforms for any other reason.
It was good... It felt great in fact! Because it was a whole new way to win!
And that was the problem before!
On those other social platforms, winning wasn't winning at all. It was an absolute BS turd wrapped in cheap gift paper. It really did feel like an absolute meaningless waste of time being on those social2.0's!
You mean you want me to spend endless time obsessing about what people who don't care think... and then you want me to spend all my extra time and brain juice creating content for free and then it's not even mine? And then you want to curate my friends and family... even my emotional state... and oh yeah! All my security passwords as well! Yeah! Right!? You have got to be kidding me and on C.R.A.Z.Y. pills!... How convoluted has the world gotten anyways!? Is anything sincere, authentic, and real anymore?! WTH right?!
Good bye and good riddance and I get it!
But all that BS came into focus as soon as I made Hive my Home!
All the endless fidgeting on my smart phone all of a sudden had a purpose!
It made sense!
And then it dawned on me...
I wanted other wonderful, deserving, searching people just like me to enjoy the Hive experience in the same way I do/did!
So I, like I said, I got busy!
And that's what this surprise mission is all about!
I want you to experience that same joy all over again but through another person just like you did when you discovered Hive for the very first time! (Remember those virgin eyes!? 😉 Remember what you were thinking?! 😲)
So bring someone new to the blockchain and help them get started here!
Be the one who goes out of your way...
Tell someone (anyone!) about your Home on the Hive!
Here's How! 👇
Step 1️⃣
- Find someone else's content, (a written post, audio recording, video, NFT art, photograph, music, game whatever it may be) here on the blockchain.
Step 2️⃣
- Make sure that it is older than the 7 day payout period though ok! It's time for us to stop our obsession with the bleeding edge! There's some real evergreen material here on the Hive Blockchain! We are sitting on a diamond mine you guys!!! 💎
Step 3️⃣
- Vouch for someone else here on the Hive Blockchain and do so publicly by Tweeting about the content they have created. Be sure to also include a link back to the post here on Hive. (Of course right!? lol!)
Step 4️⃣
- Come back to the official @Comet.Ranker #CometWeek post here on Hive and tell us about it! This is the sort of good energy EVERYONE LOVES!!!
And here's the thing...
When you promote yourself, it really only gets you so far. BUT when you go out of your way to bring someone else UP... That does wayyyyyyy more that you might imagine!
I call this doing a #DoubleUP!
Lending your word to someone else's is a way to boost BOTH of your credibility and rapport and is far more effective than attempting to tell everyone how great you are... THAT is also going to come back as Good Wil 😉 and reflect well on what we are all doing here on the Hive Blockchain!
So is this going to earn me "Comet Points"?
Maybe that's what your thinking right?
Maybe not...
But that's not the point at all!
The point is... and always will be...
To drive this home to all you all!
What we need to win here on Hive is a highly explosive mixture of both Social Capital AND Financial Capital... With an emphasis on SOCIAL CAPITAL! 💥
This is what we really need more of on Hive!
And I tell you...
If we get this right... We never really know how deep those pockets are! 🤑
When your compounding Good Wil, trust, rapport, friendliness, care, and positivity **you wouldn't believe how much financial capital suddenly freesUP "out of nowhere"!
Social environments that are friendly, healthy, and vibrant... those are the winning ones!
Why do I say all of this?
Because I seriously think that this could make a real difference!
It could and it can!
And it all starts with a shift in how we collectively think and what we prioritize!
It's time to get back to why this blockchain exists in the first place!
Blockchain is built to empower people!
Hive grants super powers!
And how we treat our own...
Well it does matter!
Because you never really know who is watching! 👽👩🚀

Kind of disappointing that it requires Twitter to play the ARG. After all that talk of checking out from fb and twitter and being a Hive owner and I can't even participate from Hive. Weird.
It’s only weird because you have only looked at 1/10th of what #CometWeek and @Comet.Ranker are all about! 😉
Click back to the #CometWeek White Paper and then let me know what you think! 😁

Are there any good guides on increasing social capital? I see a ton of giveaway posts on HIVE, and I've been thinking about taking this route lately. Do you know of any posts I could look into?
Keep an eye right here and on @Comet.Ranker my friend! 2,000 Hive is going to be given away during #CometWeek!
As for learning about Social Capital... This is the sort of thing that's learned by watching carefully. Keen observation.
I started learning about it when I worked on a golf course over a decade+ ago... It's one of the reasons I decided to launch my fitness business over 10 years ago! I watched how the wealthy patrons did business. Then later I met my investment mentor and learned even more.
Business and investing go hand in hand with personal development. And I have found them to be excellent catalysts to learning more about the powers of social capital.
And if you are interested... A recent book I just finished reading by Guy Spier's talks A LOT about this subject.

I'm currently trying to bring in a few people from a centralized platform, but the problem is that they seriously prefer writing short messages. They don't blog. In your opinion, is there a place for people who will never want to write more than 25 to 50 words?
These people are natural commenters! We can bring them here... but we gotta emphasis how rich and rewarding the comments can be! I happen to know someone busting some moves around that idea... hahaha! 😉
lol I wonder who! The catch is they are getting up to like $5 or $10 a day for such things on the centralized platform. Paid immediately. How can we make it enticing enough for them to wait and build? Oh, and some of them depend on the money, but not all of them.
Hmmmm. Those are tough obstacles with the current price of Hive. If we want to have people take us seriously we have seriously got to do everything we can as a community to move the price of Hive above a dollar. Unfortunately that’s the truth of the matter and $1 Hive won’t happen if the social environment isn’t a friendly welcoming one. If people don’t like it here they will always put sell pressure on the price of Hive. We have got to show everyone inside and outside this blockchain why they need to HODL and why they need to believe in this community of people. That means we have got to be better in every regard if we want to win. It doesn’t take much insight and vision to see this so I hope that people start to catch on soon! If they don’t I would challenge them to dedicate and donate 3 months to promoting Hive on the social2.0’s for at least 1 hour per. Day... after doing that consistently every single day... what Hive needs next comes into clear picture pretty quickly. It’s a no brainer really.
We need to retain those new people, so it might be good to have a full crew before going all out on promoting? And at the moment hand pick our New Bees?
The point of doing the field research isn’t to impress upon people the need for marketing... but to impress upon them the need for a marketable Hive. If we work out a$$’s off to get 1 person to Hive we have already had conversations with at least 100 other people. An unfriendly Hive undermines and marginalizes all of our marketing efforts and wipes out our retention not to mention all the bad PR that comes out of it. This was my process and why I have turned my 100% attention back towards Hive. I was in the top 10 for Hive promotions for months... and it wasn’t until I realized that the goalie wasn’t in the net that I knew what I had to do if I cared at all as an owner.
Why I say that people need to try marketing Hive is not to market Hive (even though I think this is a good thing and very much needed) it’s more of an object lesson in rational realization.
We need everyone on the same page if this is going to work. This is what drives @Comet.Ranker forward.
I want a marketable Hive Blockchain and I want it ASAP! We don’t have much time and more bull market to waste.
The sooner we all realize this... the sooner we can get busy effectively selling Hive to the world.
I think that this shift in thinking can be fun and I think it’s going to happen and it’s going to happen in the comments not in the posts! Yes... we need posts. Yes we need marketing... but first we gotta get our minds right!
Hive will sell it’s self if we can do this.
I’m 100% sure of it... and that’s why as long as Hive is under $1... I’m a buyer. ☄️
Exactly, we need to focus on making Hive awesome from the inside. I do want to bring those people in, before the owner does what happened with Uptrennd. But I want to do it when they will see what's possible. But be aware that many of them literally have to use at least part of their earnings for food and basics. So some of them will add some sell pressure. But others are buyers, so maybe it balances out?
Nice! This surprise mission makes a whole lot of sense - building SOCIAL CAPITAL. I pull others up and I'm riding along as well.
When does this mission end?
#community1st! 🙂
