HIVE THRIVE - Show #55 - Guest: @demotruk

What is the Hive Thrive Community Hour?`

A HIVE discord show that will have a town hall feel to it.
We see a real gap between devs, projects, witnesses, community leaders, and everyday Hive users. There are so many people looking to feel more connected, engaged, and informed—and we want to bridge that gap. This show is about:

✅ Learning about the Hive Blockchain
✅ Sharing what what’s available to use or being worked on
✅ Exploring where Hive is headed (or could be)
✅ Identifying roadblocks—and, more importantly, finding solutions
✅ Fostering constructive and proactive discussions
✅ Providing another space for the community to engage

The Deets

• Date & Time: Tuesday May 5th at 6pm UTC
• Live on the official Hive Discord in the Voice General Channel
• Hosts: Hive account@alessandrawhite and Hive account@shadowspub
• Guest: Hive account@demotruk

Our Guest This Week: Hive account@demotruk

During his almost a decade on the chain, Hive account@demotruk has written on a range of subjects including sharing stories especially about the Isle of Man and it’s forgotten history including its Viking past. He’s an avid photographer and contributes to many of the travel feeds with high quality posts.

Recently he’s been posting some interesting data that we’ll talk about.

Here’s some topics we hope to touch on tomorrow:

• what a decade on the chain has been like
• the evolution of content on the chain
• the changing landscape of the chain
• user retention and the ‘reward’ myth
• the ‘upvote a newbie’ campaign
• a ‘web of trust’
• global economic shifts (HBD & Nigeria)

We’ve welcomed guests from all corners of Hive and explored everything from the DHF to front ends, games, curation, value plans, infrastructure, governance, and more. Join us and see how everyday Hiveans can better understand and engage with this multi-faceted ecosystem.

Bring your questions. If Hive is going to matter beyond Hive, conversations like this are part of the path.
