I have always loved Leo Finance for the blockchain gateway it is for financial enthusiasts. I have held and staked tokens from the initial airdrop and supported my old friend 
This week is all about Crypto, Hive, and a bit of real life community-based entrepreneurship.
Blockchain/Crypto - HPUD!

You know I have to start with a PHUD when the date is June 1st. The old guard knows well what Power Up Day is but the new people, possibly even just starting with Leo Finance and don't know much about Hive may want to check out 
In short, we have gotten into the monthly habit of saving up our content/curation rewards and scooping up discount $Hive in dips on the exchanges, and uniting in brilliant blockchain bravado to power it up to our stakes.
This month, I conservatively hedged some Bitcoin and ETH trades into FIAT to pad my BTFD fund. While I awaited the real bottoming of those stores of value, I invested a bit in the arbitrary dips in Hive, knowing the community and lower market cap make it rebound a little quicker in value. Though it has, it is much more valuable to me powered up. I have noticed my curation rewards increasing in percentage of earnings, and get to drop bigger rewards on the folks, engagement and content I support. Then there is the prospect of the new initiatives and integrations which could result in more great airdrops.
Anyhow, I am increasingly disappointed in the overall percentage increase of my stake by month. Less than a 5% increase this month but imagine pumping $168 USD in just a month into a retirement savings. Not bad. I simply have found a retirement fund that has a strong potential to go 10X in value in my humble estimation.
Either way, another brick in the foundation and I will see you again next month.
A Little More Hive Community Finance
When
makes a post asking for support on a poll that #Hive should win, you should just do it!@acidyo/take-a-minute-to-vote-for-hive-on-stakingrewardscom is that post and the image is my vote for Hive which helped gain the lead in the stakingrewards.com poll. Took all of 2 minutes including the registration, email verification click, voting, screen capture and posting back to that post. You have a day to do that yourself and meet some good Hive supporters in the comments if you are building your network.
Meatspace Finance - Adventures in Small Town Entrepreneurship
I have the pleasure of running a digital marketing company with a couple fantastic partners on a quest to help local businesses in our small town. We haven't settled into a content creation routine yet but you can check some of our stories at
Nominated!
This is more of a neat development than a story but we have been nominated for a Business Excellence Award presented by our local chamber of commerce https://www.stratfordchamber.com/ I am not quite sure why you would want a fancy covid virus graphic as the welcome image on your webpage but we will talk to them about that.
We are members because this is an age-old organization that is made up of the owners of many local businesses who support eachother. #shoplocal was always a noble effort but it is an absolute necessity for this community which is predominantly dependent upon tourism drawn primarily by the Stratford Festival https://www.stratfordfestival.ca/ which has been cancelled by covid. What a mouthful to read and even more so as a new business.
It is an honour to be nominated and we will just keep trying to help the community through its small businesses. Those are the stories that make everything happen for us.
Beer Finance!
Besides that, we have been working behind the scenes to help reopen and relaunch a couple of small town breweries https://abeerb.com/. It is a good business to get into as a Beerologist as they appreciate a partner who knows technology, marketing, and beer. A cultural and financial match sealed with a nice craft pint.
Finance plays a part in all of our lives, I recommend finding the next big thing on https://leofinance.io/
