Hive Thrive: Our Hour for Hive Community
đź“… Tuesday,25th Nov, @ 6 PM UTC
📍 Live on Discord in the Voice General Channel
🎙 Hosts: &
➡️ Guest:
Here we go again with another round of Hive Thrive – the weekly town hall where we bring Hive’s characters, builders, and trouble-makers into one room and see what happens.
This week we’re welcoming someone who has been poking the Hive bear from every angle—through polls, satire, sports, and trading: .
You’ve probably seen his name attached to:
• Spicy posts like “Should Hive Have a Community Reset?” digging into downvotes, grudges, and second chances on-chain. 
• Weekly Hive Polls on Valueplan-funded projects like the rally car and the Community Wells, taking the community’s temperature on whether to keep funding or wind things down. 
• Satirical takes in Comedy Open Mic, where dev budgets and DHF culture get roasted just enough to make us all squirm and laugh at the same time. 
• And over in LeoFinance, breakdowns of futures trading, funding rates, and the mind games of turning $30 into something bigger without losing your sanity. 
Blanchy is one of those Hive users who seems to live at the crossroads of funny, annoyed, and constructive—exactly where good conversations tend to start.

We’ll be diving into:
• What pulled him into Hive back in the day—and what kept him here through the downvote wars and chain drama. 
• The idea of a “Great Hive Reset”: should there be a point where the chain lets old beefs go and gives people a genuine second chance?
• His ongoing Valueplan community polls: what he’s learning about how regular Hivers feel about big-budget projects like the Community Wells. 
• Satire as a governance tool—why he chooses to write jokes about dev proposals and downvotes instead of dry policy essays. 
• How his futures trading habit, risk mindset, and love for football all influence the way he sees Hive’s future. 
As always, we’ll take questions from the live chat during the interview, and then open things up in the after-show so the conversation can keep rolling.

Come hang out with us
Hive Thrive isn’t meant to be just another podcast that you listen to in the background. We treat it more like a live town hall for the blockchain:
• a place where devs, witnesses, curators, investors, creators, and lurkers can get into the same conversation
• a space to hear what’s being built, what’s being debated, and what’s keeping people up at night
• and a chance for everyday users to ask questions directly instead of guessing in the comments later
We’re here to:
✅ Help people understand what’s actually happening on Hive
âś… Surface tools, projects, and proposals worth paying attention to
âś… Talk honestly about roadblocks, drama, and governance tension
âś… Look for ways forward that keep the ecosystem growing instead of stuck
Bring your questions about Valueplan, DHF culture, downvotes, Wells, resets, futures trading, or anything else you’ve seen in Blanchy’s posts. If you’ve ever thought “someone should talk about this in public,” this is literally the show where that happens.

See you Tuesday, November 18th @ 6 PM UTC.
What is the Hive Thrive?
Here at Hive Thrive we see a real gap between devs, projects, witnesses, community leaders, and everyday Hive users. There are 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 is 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 also want to give a shout out to . His enthusiasm has been the best kind of infectious, and he has been archiving shows through the Deep Web 3 Secrets YouTube channel so people can catch up on past episodes.
