Meet This Week’s Guests

🎤 Hive account@joseamenac – Musician, developer and single malt whisky drinker. He’s new to Hive, but not new to blockchain—having worked with one of those “big players” we’ve all heard about in the past.

🎨 Hive account@ankapolo – A traditional artist seduced by digital. A Hivean since the legacy chain days and none other than Hive account@meno’s better half, she calls herself Snapie’s “Quality Control” and keeps both him and the project on its toes.

The Snapie team has been rolling out beta features, polishing the UX, adding shiny badges, and pushing toward app store submission with a Hive proposal underway.

At Hive Thrive, we believe in a healthy shake of nepotism…so while Hive account@meno is a host, he is also the lynch pin to Snapie. The big Snapie Daddy 😉
⸻

We’ll be diving into:

• The vision behind Snapie and why Hive needs short-form content
• Beta rollout, badges, and what’s next for features
• Branding, mascot, and community-building
• Onboarding strategies for creators and casual users
• Sustainability and what the future of Snapie looks like

⸻

This isn’t just another talk show—it’s modeled after a town hall for the Hive community. Whether you’re a dev, a content creator, a witness, or just someone who wants to learn and be more engaged, this is your space.

We field questions from the chat during the interview, but in the after show it opens up and we keep the convo going!

🚀 See you Tuesday, Sept 9th @ 6 PM UTC!

What is the Hive Thrive?

Hive Thrive strives to be a fair and information based talk show— modeled after a town hall and built for the entire Hive ecosystem. Whether you’re writing posts, building tools, securing the chain, or just curious about how it all works, this space is yours.

We keep things open, take questions from the audience, and when the interview ends, the real conversation often begins.

So jump in, bring your voice, and help shape the future of Hive—one chat at a time.

Here at Hive Thrive we see a real gap between devs, projects, witnesses, community leaders, and everyday Hive users. There are so many people looking to feel more connected, engaged, and informed—and we want to bridge that gap. This show is about:

✅ Learning about the Hive Blockchain
✅ Sharing what what’s available to use or being worked on
✅ Exploring where Hive is headed (or could be)
✅ Identifying roadblocks—and, more importantly, finding solutions
✅ Fostering constructive and proactive discussions
✅ Providing another space for the community to engage

We would like to give a shout out to Hive account@ecoinstant, his enthusiasm has been the best kind of infectious. He is also a witness here on hive. You can support him here…. https://vote.hive.uno/@synergy.witness

Since this rocket launched we have had on many interesting guests spanning to all of Hives corners, we are dedicated to keep interviewing the movers and shakers of the Hive Blockchain. So far we have gotten into the nitty gritty of the DHF, we have discussed the future of hive, projects supporting internally and externally, we recently dove into the music community, and are actively building new bridges. From Hive bore holes to digging our own heads out of the sand, here at Hive Thrive we run the gamut!
Join us and see how you and other everyday hiveians can get involved and learn more about this multi-faceted Hive Blockchain ecosystem. All our shows are loaded with alpha info for any Hive enthusiast or noob looking to learn more!
