The Roundup
In this edition we have highlights of the international nature of crypto and opportunities for Hive itself -- gaming in Saudi Arabia as a government-supported area of commerce, a store in Venezuela that is accepting Hive as a form of payment, Hivers who are inviting New Hivers to come build with them to capture all this opportunity -- it's really exciting! This all in addition to the usual display of genius that is the Hive community, daily!
Most posts in this edition are in the payout period still, so if you like what I like, show the content creators some love! If you are using PeakD as your front end, you can also TIP anyone in the "Oldies But Goodies" section, too.

One of the great arguments for Bitcoin is that it is a deflationary token -- the value is going to go up by virtue of there truly being a limited supply. Hive, increasingly, is going to be able to add that to its value proposition --
