I turned 34 last week and before last month if you asked me about block chain, 2nd layer tokens or liquidity pools, I’d just stare at you blankly and say - Ah! Sounds too complicated! It’s not for me.
But last month, Discord finally took me on a journey into the world of cryptocurrency and to say this ride has been incredible would be an understatement and a large (za) portion of that credit goes to the HIVE PIZZA community.
So whats Pizza?
Pizza is a 2nd layer token of the Hive blockchain that can be used to do a bunch of things
And for people who don’t know what a blockchain is, it’s a system that records transactions made in cryptocurrency that are maintained across several computers that are linked in a peer-to-peer network.
So Pizza is a token built using Hive. That’s why it’s called Hive Pizza, simple right?
I learned this with the help of the community there btw, which I think is the true asset of the Pizza server.
My first real interaction happened when I participated in an event called “Last Man Standing” - It was about a bunch of people joining the voice channel in discord where it is locked after a certain time and everyone has to be active. If you go AFK or get disconnected for whatever reason, you lose.
One of the members who covers almost all the events that happen at the PIZZA server @blitzzzz has covered it below where you can read about how fun, interactive, and entertaining it was. (Read it, the end will surprise you. Promise!)

This was the event where I first spoke to Beard - The Creator of Hive Pizza himself.
He explained to me what was the objective of Pizza - It is to be used as an onboarding step into the HIVE ecosystem - which offers so many brilliant things - where you can earn HIVE and so many of its other tokens like Oneup, PIZZA and many others, just for doing and posting about your favorite things.
Check out all the lounges below in the server where you can hang out and talk about whatever you are interested in.
Everything in the PIZZA Server is built around how to empower the community.
There are giveaways, events, awesome airdrops, fun contests and the conversation is non-stop.
And if you want to ask anything, and I mean anything at all, everyone here will ensure your questions, queries are answered till you are satisfied.
Like beard himself help setup my account when I said I have no idea what Hive is.
@thebeardflex then helped me secure it and then told me how I can earn Hive by just writing posts.
And he did it with such patience and ease, I was immediately convinced that I have joined somewhere truly special.
You can even earn money from buying Pizza and staking it or joining into liquidity pools where you can combine 2 tokens to earn at an APR of above 110%.
Here’s an article by @dibblers.dabs which gives you an idea about how to do exactly that in a super simple manner

Once I started exploring all this, I got to know how HIVE functions and it’s an incredible piece of technology that I feel you have to experience to understand the power and more importantly the simplicity of it.
And did I tell you that HIVE and PIZZA don’t have a gas fee to make transfers once you start earning it?
This is because it functions on a circular ecosystem where if you post content on the different websites like Peakd.com and ecency.com, you get paid in Hive which you can use to improve your Hive Power which ensures your Resource Credits are available when you need it to upvote and comment on others posts.
Here you can even reward other creators by using commands like !PIZZA and they’ll get a slice which is autostaked :) And the best part is that the reward comes out of a community pool which means you don’t have to spend to reward someone, Hive takes care of that too :)
And the more of these pizza tokens are staked, the higher your role grows in the pizza server
I’m at the Senior Driver Level – But you can grow even upto 100K Pizza – The Grand Baroney
I earned mine by just being active and participating in contests etc. At the pizza server, it’s possible.
You can even buy your favorite PC games using pizza at the Pizza store. I mean i can just go on and on about how much there is to do and we're just getting started. There are so many more exciting things to come too :)
So, yeah! if you’re looking for a place where you can learn about crypto and earn it, talk to a bunch of like-minded and genuinely fun people, participate in exciting events like poker, movie night and community gaming sessions and even make a lifelong friend like I did, wassup @efastromberg94, then you’ll love being at Hive Pizza
