In the beginning....

Back in 2022 as cryptocurrencies were gaining popularity, many different cryptos and platforms started to appear. Many of them looked great and were legitimate systems. Unfortunately many of them were scams that stole a lot of money from their customers. After being duped by a couple of VERY BIG scams, I decided to create a platform that would help people to NOT get scammed going forward. I started building a platform called HEXucation in around August 2022. It was a web based platform that offered Blockchain & Cryptocurrency education. HEXucation old website

The unique angle that it had was that it explained the history of money, how money actually works etc., before introducing people to blockchain technology, cryptocurrencies and other types of digital money. Finally, the platform was ready by April 2023. Although it was hard work, it was also very satisfying to see it completed. For several months not much happened with the platform, meaning not many people joined, so I put the project on hold, and decided to look into other projects. Merging with the Blockchain
Yet again, another scam turned up. It looked very appealing at first, but because of my previous experiences, I decided to take my time and do as much research as possible before getting too involved. And yes, my research found too many holes for the project to be legit, so I went back to promoting HEXucation. During that time (around November 2023) I had been speaking with a person who had a large group of contacts, and we decided to team up and offer them HEXucation. In January 2024, The decision was made to upgrade my HEXucation platform to being blockchain based. The new blockchain based version launched in August 2024. HEXucation sales page

After a little over 1 year (6 months of some very happy moments, and 6 months of not-so-happy moments) since meeting that person, they and the developer who we were working with, stole my courses and created a copy of HEXucation.com . As this was all happening a small group including myself decided that it wasn't right, and decided that we should continue HEXucation without them. Getting off the Blockchain...
That meant I had to rebuild the website all over again! But that presented an opportunity! It meant I could build it bigger and better than it had been in it's previous 2 incarnations. And that is exactly what has happened. Instead of only offering Blockchain & Cryptocurrency courses, the new site offers those, plus courses on: A.i. Marketing Digital Marketing FinTech (Financial Technology) Entrepreneurship and Meta Learning (learning how to learn). We went from having 1 course with 27 lessons, to having 7 courses with over 200+ lessons. During the period that I was building the website, I'd also been looking into writing smart contracts and programming languages. The opportunity came to use those newly acquired skills when I added in some very useful A.i. related features. HiveX : a DEX (Decentralized Exchange), Buzz : a social media content creator, A Multi-wallet Tracker (Tracks your crypto currency across 20 different blockchains), into the new website. The name of the new website? Hive / HAiV3 logo

HEXucation A.i Version 3 or HAiV3. Obviously one of those names is waaaay too long to say, and the other too hard to pronounce, so we simply call it Hive. We wanted to buy the Hive.com domain name, but it wasn't available, so we use Haiv3.com instead. Where are we now?
Although we are a relatively small team, we are international and we are growing. One of the original obligations that we gave ourselves was that we should in some way be philanthropic. We achieve that by assisting people on low incomes through education, which can put them in a position to better their situations. Additionally, we have an Affiliate Program which they can join, as a way to improve their income. Having said that, we are still a business that offers education and we too need an income to survive and thrive. We love to play with technology and collectively we are always experimenting with new forms of online tech. That's how we got onto Hive.io . (Going foward I'll write Hive = HAiV3 our website, and Hive.io = this blockchain based platform we are all using). While implementing our marketing strategy, we built a few different apps using A.i. One of those apps is called Hive Nexus. Hive Nexus App

We were able to tell the app the type of people we wanted to team up with to grow Hive, and @mcsamm was one of the people it found. The app automatically drafted an email and we sent it to him. We got talking, and here we are today! Our intention is to help Hive.io grow and at the same time, use it to grow our own platform. We are currently reviewing the best ways to do this. Apparently making our own community on Hive.blog is a great way to start. Well, that's it for now. 👋 If you'd like to find out more, feel free to drop us a reply. You are all welcome to visit our website at https://haiv3.com . Any suggestions you might have, on how we can best utilize Hive.blog and the other related systems, are appreciated. Until next time, have a great night / day!
