Hello everyone,
It has been a busy few weeks for me as I am crash learning about the crypto/blockchain revolution. I learned about Hive from my buddy 
So for those who are curious what new lost soul stumbled here, who am I? Well, I am a long-term Wikipedian, where I have written thousands of articles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Piotrus IRL I teach at a university and research new media, and I find the crypto communities and projects like Hive revolutionary. This is a much more "for the people" vibe than what you get with the old dinosaurs like Facebook and so on, which are all about taking and nothing about giving. Wikipedia, on the other hand, is a bit too "give-minded" - contributing to it is great, but there are no rewards except the feeling of doing good with your life. Stuff like Hive seems to be a very interesting middle ground, something we needed decades ago.
As for GU, hmmm, it has been a fun two and a half weeks for me now (I got to rank 60 or so and just got my first Divine Order cards last week). As a long-time gamer, playing MtG since oh mid-90s, I find GU quite nice as well, and I hope to stick around for a while longer (although from the newbie perspective, the new cards seem a bit powerful creephish...). I do wish I joined a year or so ago, catching up, as usual, takes some effort - but it's mostly enjoyable (as long as I am not on a losing streak vs some armor-heavy decks, crushing my core weenies like there's no tomorrow :D).
Anyway, that's me, enjoying the adventure. Hope this is the beginning of something great for the entire world! And us, card player nerds, as well.
See you around, and if you have any questions about Wikipedia, feel free to ask, it's kind of my specialty in life :D Now, I need to think about writing up Wikipedia entries for Hive and GU, it's surprising they don't seem to have any yet.
