Ten HSBI and Two DUO Token Giveaway Week 32!

How is the weekend going for everyone so far? Things around here have been enjoyable. I love those lazy, low stress weekends like this one!

It's Sunday again which means time for another giveaway. Hard to believe it already week 32 on this particular initiative. It's still going strong and people seem to enjoy it as do I, so I think it still has a very bright future. This last week the entry question was about preferences between coffee or tea. There was on very clear winner on this one, coffee was the winner by knockout in the first round!

I personally prefer dark roast coffee without cream or sugar, but on occasion I drink tea as well, especially iced tea with some fresh lime. There were so many great responses this week, most liked coffee but almost everyone liked their own particular formulation which didn't surprise me. I decided it might be fun to talk about a few of them.

Expresso

agro20.com.br

First up my buddy Hive account@whywhy shared his favorite as expresso. He even has his own machine at home, so what's not to love? I've always loved some good expresso, it gives you that nice caffeine jolt with a great tasting coffee. Too bad we can't all have expresso machines at home!

Americano

izzycooking.com

Next up was the Americano chosen by Hive account@ronnie10 ! This is expresso diluted down just a bit, but it still tastes great! Can't go wrong with an Americano either!

Glacier Creek Breakfast Blend

This is the pick of Hive account@elizabethbit and Hive account@silvertop , which makes since because they have been married for just a few years.... I was looking this one up and couldn't find much online. Do you guys have any good references to check them out. It sure sounds really good!

Dark Roast

cananut.com

Dark roast coffee was the pick of Hive account@henruc ! A man with impeccable taste just like mine. He prefers the ones with chocolate in the background flavor, as do I. I also love the ones with a definite caramel flavor in the background. Finding a really good dark roast can be very difficult, the best ones can be very expensive at times. But wow, it tastes awesome!

Iced Tea

chow.com

Iced Tea was the pick of Hive account@kungfukid , and I enjoy some too especially on a hot day. I like mine unsweetened with some lime. It's very refreshing! Anyone else have their own preference?

Green Tea

archanaskitchen.com

Green Tea or Chamomile was the pick by Hive account@mcoinz79 . I like them both too, but drink darker teas usually. I do love chamomile tea late in the afternoon when I am trying to avoid too much caffeine late in the day. Great stuff!

Coffee Arabica/Robust Blend

Coffee Arabica/ Robusta in an 80/20 ratio was the pick by Hive account@logen9f . It sounds great since Robust does have that higher caffeine percentage. I've never tried this one, but I'll give it a shot. It sounds like a custom blend as I rarely see anything but Arabica here in the US.

This weeks entry question

Well, onto to today's contest: What is the very first video game you ever played?

The Giveaway

I will be giving out two prizes of five (5) HSBI. Third prize will be 2 DUO tokens, the token I recently launched with Hive account@bulliontools and Hive account@bitcoinman . It offers those who stake sufficient tokens daily curation on quality posts, dividends, and a tipping bot. It also helps to onboard and retain new Hive members. At the end of the post there is a link to the white paper and where to purchase the tokens. There will also be one legendary Splinterlands card as a fourth prize. If you don't play Splinterlands just let me know and I'll send you an HSBI instead. To participate you need a reputation level of at least 25 and bots cannot win. And please one entry per person to make it fair to everyone.

If you have more questions about DUO feel free to ask, it's growth is exceeding all of our expectations!

Legendary Splinterlands card up for grabs this next week:

A level 1 Void Dragon, this one is a great card!

How to Enter

Every week this will change. I'm looking for engagement rather than just saying "I am in". There is no need to upvote or re-blog, although if you choose to do so I would appreciate it. This week's question is an easy one:
What is the very first video game you ever played?

HSBI

Choosing the Winners

All valid entries will be placed on the Wheel of Names and I will spin it four times. The first prize will be 5 HSBI units. The second prize will be another 5 HSBI units. And the third prize will be two DUO tokens. Fourth prize is a legendary Splinterlands card or one HSBI unit! And since I am spinning the same wheel four times in a row it is theoretically possible for the same person to win all four prizes! Although I have yet to see it happen, maybe this week?

Deadline

Please note I am changing it to earlier on Sunday to make it easier on me if I'm headed out for the day
One week from today which will be Sunday October 27, 2024 at 8 A.M. California Pacific Time.

Now to choose last week's lucky winners!

And the first spin!

Congratulations Hive account@geneeverett ! You have won 5 HSBI units!

And the second spin!

Congratulations Hive account@shiftrox ! You have won 5 HSBI units!

The third spin

Congratulations Hive account@henruc ! You have won two DUO tokens! Only 198 more staked to receive a daily curation and daily Hive dividends!

I honestly expected this spin to go to Hive account@whywhy because her keeps wining it, and what's funny is it nearly did, Hive account@henruc won by the skin of his teeth, it nearly went to Hive account@whywhy again!

The fourth spin

Congratulations Hive account@lolodens , you have won your choice of the legendary Splinterlands card or two HSBI units. It used to be one but because the card is worth a little more than two Hive I decided two would be more fair if you don't want the Void Dragon. Let me know which you prefer and I'll get it over to you!

Surprise bonus spin

Just to make things a little more exciting I'm throwing in an extra bonus spin. The winner will receive 2 DUO tokens!

Congratulations Hive account@silvertop , you just won two DUO tokens!

That will wrap up the giveaway for this week. Next Sunday I'll be back to giveaway some more great prizes. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to leave them below. Especially to answer today's entry question! Thank you for all of your support, without it these giveaways wouldn't be possible. Have a great Sunday everyone!

And since I am posting this in the #freecompliments community, I just want to remind everyone to take a few minutes to be kind today. Your kindness can make a big difference in someone's life!
