CBRS Podcast Episode 38: Hive Vibes, Dapples, and Crypto Dreams
Hey everyone, welcome back to the CBRS Podcast, broadcasting straight from our cozy Cold Beetroot Soup Studio! Episode 38 is packed with the usual Hive buzz, community love, and some big dreams about the future of crypto. Grab a coffee and let’s dive into what we talked about this time around.
Kicking Things Off with The Dapp List
As always, we kicked off the episode talking about our favorite topic: TheDappList! There are so many awesome dapp) we’re shining a spotlight on. This week, we’re hyping up the @NFTShowroom, which has racked up an impressive 131 votes—pretty cool, right? The support from the Hive community, including big players like @Starkerz, 
Starting Friday, we’re switching gears to promote @DLux, which stands for Decentralized Limitless User Xperience (say that five times fast!). DLux recently joined The Dapp List, and we’re excited to see where it takes us. We also chatted about updating The Dapp List form for new apps since the website now needs extra info. Don’t worry, older dapps don’t need to update, but new ones have some homework to do!
Of course, it’s not all smooth sailing. We’ve had to deal with a few sneaky accounts trying to game the system with double voting and we have seen accounts transferring rewards to main accounts. But no worries—our decentralized network lets us track everything, so we’re catching those tricksters and keeping things fair.
Hive-Echo: Community Power in Week 24
Next up, we dove into @Hive-Echo Week 23, where we saw an awesome 178 comments and 96 entries for the Wheel of Names giveaway. The community response was incredible! Our first Out of the Box Call to Action asked everyone to share something positive about Happy Customer Supermarket. The comments were heartfelt, some super long, and they really showed off the warmth and strength of the Hive community. It’s moments like these that make us proud to be part of this space. No AI-generated comments here, just real, sincere feedback from real people.
Our second Out Of The Box Call to Action was all about supporting Jose Rodriguez a.k.a. 
Spinning the Wheel of Names

We’ve noticed some folks are sharing screenshots on our CTA but missing the key step witch is to post Stats on out Stats article, so make sure to include those stats to secure your spot in the wheel of names!
Big Ideas: Hive ATMs and Podcast Plans
We got super excited talking about the potential for getting HIVE on Crypto ATMs. Picture this: you walk up to an ATM, tap your card (maybe an NFC-enabled one), and boom—Hive or HBD is in your wallet. No KYC, no hassle, just crypto goodness. We’re not sure how tricky it’d be to connect Hive to these machines, but if Bitcoin’s already there, it can’t be that hard, right? Maybe a QR code and @Keychain integration could make it happen. We’re crossing our fingers for this one!
We also shared some big news about the future of the CBRS Podcast. We love being the go-to spot for Hive updates, but we want to grow beyond that. So, we’re thinking about splitting the podcast into two shows:
- CBRS Hive Cast: This will focus on Hive news, DappList, Hive-Echo, and all the community updates you love.
- CBRS Podcast: A fun, freeform show where we talk about anything and everything—world news, reaction videos, maybe even some sketches for laughs!
We’re still working out the details, but we’re pumped to expand and bring Hive to an even bigger audience. Oh, and we met a new colleague from Zimbabwe who’s a talented artist and game designer. We’re already plotting to bring her into the Cold Beetroot Soup world and maybe onboard her to Hive and talk about some comic book ideas or a website refresh!
What’s Next?
Next week, we’re going live with Mr. Beer Guy @Detlev to talk about his upcoming Hive Summit in Aachen in Germany (August 22-24). It’s a two-day event, and we’re tempted to hop on a train to join the fun. We also touched on @VSC.Network’s new feature, which lets you stake liquid HBD and unstake anytime. Super flexible and a game-changer for Hive’s ecosystem. Plus, because it is already EVM ready, things are heating up!
