CBRS Podcast 25 | Hive-Echo Call To, Hive Discounts, Dapplist Frenzy, and Bitbot Controversies

---

Hello Hive ❤️

Welcome back to the CBS #Podcast, where we’re celebrating Episode 25—a quarter of a hundred! We kicked things off with our usual pre-podcast coffee ritual, brainstorming and scrolling X for the latest Hive buzz. It’s like a podcast before the podcast—20 minutes of “Did you see this?!” and “What’s happening with that?!” that doesn’t always make the final cut. But today, April 8, 2025, we’ve got a packed episode: Hive’s 18-cent dip, #TheDapplist frenzy, a spicy #Bitbots controversy, and a thrilling #Hive-Echo update complete with a winner announcement. Let’s dive in!

Hive at 18 Cents: A Crypto Bargain or a Rollercoaster Ride?

The #crypto market’s a rollercoaster, and Hive’s giving us whiplash. A few days ago, we were texting in a panic: “Hive’s at 21 cents—send me money, I’m buying!” Now it’s 18 cents, and we’re unstaking #HBD, dreaming of Conclave Arcana boosts and a price rebound. “My mind’s racing,” one of us admitted. “Is this healthy?” Probably not, but it’s the crypto life.

With #Bitcoin at $73,000–$74,000 and the market dipping, 18-cent Hive feels like a steal. “Forget lottery tickets,” we urged. “Buy Hive, stake it, and wait for the upswing.” Opening #Hive @Keychain each morning is a jolt—“What happened? Where’s my money?”—but at this price, it’s a bargain worth grabbing. The crypto cycle’s turning, and we’re ready to adapt.

The Dapplist Frenzy: Hive Takes Center Stage

Last week was a Hive bonanza on #Dapplist, the go-to site for decentralized apps (dApps). We launched a campaign to spotlight Hive #dApps, starting with @Splinterlands, aiming for 50 votes. The result? Nearly 150 votes, a “Most Viewed Project of the Week” badge, and a whole lot of pride. “We’re climbing the ranks with the big boys—Ethereum, Polygon, you name it,” we cheered.

Hive now boasts 14 dApps on Dapplist, and our “Dapplist Friday” initiative is in full swing. Every Friday, we highlight a Hive dApp, encouraging votes on Dapplist, with all post rewards going to voters via @CommentRewarder. Last week, 83 users cashed in—proof the community’s all in. Next up on April 11th: Hive @Keychain. Vote, screenshot, comment, and reap the rewards. It’s free exposure for Hive and a sweet deal for you—why wouldn’t you join?

Bitbots Drama: A Hive L2 Controversy

Time for a serious moment. Hive’s Layer 2 (L2) is buzzing with controversy over Bitbots, tied to @CryptoCompany. Our pal Hive account@pharesim (Minigunner will nail his name one day—sorry, dude!) flagged suspicious transactions: Hive users sending L2 tokens to CryptoCompany and getting consistent 50% upvotes on their posts. A one-off? Fine. A pattern? That’s vote-buying, and it stinks.

“We’ve fought this war before,” we groaned, recalling Hive’s past struggles. A healthy blockchain needs legit effort—quality posts, real engagement—not paid shortcuts. CryptoCompany’s $400 account, juiced by 140,000 delegated Hive Power, has sway, but this “service” (their word) isn’t it. Compare that to @Hive-Echo: About 3 Hive from upvotes, plus Comment Rewarder bonuses, and a shot at 50 Hive—all free. Why pay for 5–7 Hive the shady way?

CryptoCompany responded, tagging @Acidyo and Hive account@pharesim , owning the “service” but pitching collaboration. “Hive’s great,” they said. We agree—so let’s build it right. Focus on your #game, grow your community, and we’re in.

We’re inviting them to CryptoCola’s podcast for a transparent talk—no post comments, just real discussion. Maybe we’re missing something; maybe we can brainstorm better ideas. Let’s sort it out before it festers. Hey Hive account@buttcoins what do you think?

Hive-Echo Call to Action: Spinning the Wheel and Crowning a Winner

Now, the moment you’ve been waiting for: @Hive-Echo! This call-to-action series hit Week 11 last week, and it was a record-breaker—the most comments ever! “It’s growing, it works,” we beamed. Consistency and community power are paying off, and Week 12’s call to action is live now—jump in, post your content, comment, and get rewarded.

To celebrate Week 11, we fired up the Wheel of Names, loaded with entrants like Hive account@mayt, Hive account@maiasun84, Hive account@vempromundo, Hive account@palabras1, Hive account@ibbtammy, Hive account@beauty197. “So many new names—awesome!” we exclaimed. The tension built as we hit spin: “Drumroll, please!” The wheel whirred—boop, boop, boop—slowing down, teasing us. “It’s so close! Who’s it gonna be?” we shouted. Finally, it landed: “Hive account@ibbtammy, congratulations!” A high-five and 50 Hive are headed your way—someone from the Hive-Echo team will hook you up. “That was epic,” we laughed, still buzzing from the excitement.

@Hive-Echo’s simple: share your Hive content (X posts, shorts, whatever), comment on the call-to-action post, and earn. It’s a legit, fun way to boost your wallet and Hive’s visibility. Don’t sleep on Week 12—get in there!

Real-World Adoption and Hive’s Momentum

Beyond the #blockchain, we’re pitching Hive account@thedistriator to businesses. One of us visited Daydream in The Hague, chatting up an owner clueless about crypto. It’s a slow sell, but we sent articles and promised more info. Solo gigs like hairdressers are easier—just a phone app with public keys. Bigger firms need tax clarity—how do you log Hive in euros? We’re hunting a crypto-savvy accountant for a podcast deep dive.

Hive’s momentum is undeniable. Spanish #CoinTelegraph splashed Hive on its front page (thanks, Marco!), and Argentina’s Hive Hub is a cool new hangout for Hiveians. Hive account@vsc.network’s 23 witnesses have staked 46,000 HBD—big money, big potential. We’re waiting on EVM updates, but with 23 servers rolling, something’s cooking.

Wrapping Up: Hive’s Home and Heart

Episode 25 was a blast, from Dapplist triumphs to Bitbots debates and that thrilling Hive-Echo spin. Thanks to @Acidyo, @Starkers, @Blocktrades, and you—the community—for making it happen. We’re soaking up the 5-degree Dutch sun, playing cards, and plotting next Friday’s Dapplist push. Hive’s our home, our family—keep voting, building, and talking it out. See you at the mic!
