The News
Firstly, I have been invited to talk to 
Hive account@epodcaster later about fitness and blockchain. My experience has mainly been with the 
Hive account@exhaust dapp, but I will mention 
Hive account@actifit too, although I have not used it in a while. This will be at 9pm UK time on Twitter Spaces. You can listen in on the web, but if you want to speak you need the mobile app.
As usual I have been keeping an eye on a few crypto prices. $HIVE is recovering a little. At least it is slightly higher than three months ago, unlike some others. $HBD is holding steady. I create this graph with a script using 
Hive account@coingecko data.
Friday Follows
I have been looking out for more Brits as I will produce a fresh #BritList next weekend and I want the numbers to go up. I just signed a friend up, but she has yet to post.
The Doghouse
There are many forms of abuse on Hive. 
Hive account@livinguktaiwan has written about some they have seen. Communnities and dapps need to be vigilant as people will try to exploit them. Be especially careful about who has your keys.
The End
I have been taking part in the 
Hive account@hivebuzz Power Up Month in January. You need to power up or have a 100% HP post every day for a month to get a badge. I have been using liquid $HIVE to add a little each day. We are almost there now with over forty people still in with a chance.
End of the month means another Hive Power Up Day soon as well as fresh cards on 
Hive account@risingstargame. Always lots going on with Hive. Have fun.
Hive five!
