I'm alright. Been off and on. Not a regular poster anymore and it's been like that for awhile. Short bursts.

There's all kinds of new stuff. PeakD has a Discord clone. LEO has a twitter clone called threads. https://leofinance.io/threads

Too much to list. It's good but you know how things get when the price is down. Still, they just had Hivefest in Mexico.

Could probably sit here all day trying to tell you what's new.

Nice to hear you're ok. At the end of the day it's the one and only thing that matters most.

Shame for newcomers that they won't have the chance to read and see some good shit regularly, but you obviously have your reasons. Daily grinding around here can be really exhausting.

So...how has this thing not taken off already since so many things are happening?

It's baffling. At the same time it's decentralized. It's up to the people. Can't just push a button and make Hive go. All you can really do is do your own thing, while others are doing theirs. Just let it all happen and hope a reasonable amount of people have the same productive work ethic all at the same time.

I've always thought it would be next to impossible to get everyone on the same page, then once there, push everything forward.

Again, decentralized. That's a new thing to this world even this many years later. Tough to grasp.

And how are you doing? I'm always happy to see old faces show up again.

Doing great buddy. Had my ups and downs like everyone but the last years life has been...let's say super, suuuuper generous with me, (add personal choices and a lot of effort in the mix of course).

Ffs, you have no idea how awesome it feels talking again with people like yourself after all these years. It's not just the talking...it's also a reminder of how everything begun, of where I used to be and where I am...a diary full of freakin memories.

Yeah I've been trying to do the same; get that blood flowing. That daily grind from back in the day wore me out. It's good to know you didn't waste that time.

Stick around. Go at your own pace. Noobs are quiet it seems and don't really mingle much, focused on their daily grind, but I'm sure you'll see a lot of familiar faces.

Explore, try out the new stuff. It's kind of nice. I'll go on threads and shit post from time to time. It's fun. One day I said, "Hi" and then upvoted everyone responding. Good times.

I might stick around. By no means via posting and all. I was thinking about buying a shit ton of Hive and curate tbh. I'll be doing my thing too (posting, my old fashioned casual way) from time to time cuz I got rusty...hmm, we shall see...

Much love man.

That's the thing I've been pushing for all these years. Easier to sit on one's ass and enjoy the perks of consuming content on the internet. Here that means you get paid. Nowhere else does that happen. More people would enjoy that aspect, if they only understood how cool it is to put it simply.

Sit and casual post all you want. Don't listen to anyone saying you can't do that because they're full of shit. If someone tries to mess with you, call me up/tag me. No promises but I'll try to sort it out.

There's still downvote drama here lol.

Oh and like I was saying, it is a lot of fun shitposting then upvoting the response on something like threads. If you have stake that's really the best way to get paid for threading.
