Occasionally, I'll remember to add the !HBIT command to a comment for a little bit of token fun.
However, today I read the fine print. Turns out I'm also playing a game? Um...what?!
Wusang Isle of Blaq?! Umm....what?!
So I clicked around and then found a page that explains it all..I think. No. I'm pretty sure it does. I'm just not sure I understand it. It seems like I just entered into an unexpected side quest. I'm curious, but also somewhat cautious.

Here is how the game play works:
How to play
You need a Hive blockchain account. If you do not have one, you can get a free account here or learn about Hive and see other options on Hive.io
On the Hive chain, you need to either make a post or comment/reply to a post.
Your post/comment/reply must include an HBIT or Wusang command, such as !HBIT or !wusang
You can play once per day. No need to try more than once per day, it will not go through.
Acceptable commands (any will work): !HBIT !hbit !hivebits $HBIT !WUSANG !wusang !BLAQ !blaqSummed: Get a Hive account and "mine" for treasure using an HBIT or Wusang command. That's it.
Then there is this whole section "How It Works" that goes into more detail and the one part (#4) that caught my attention:
"The bot will also generate a random number. This number will determine whether you find an extra, bonus treasure token, such as a BLAQ pearl or the hidden ecash treasure cache of sats."
BLAQ Pearl? That just sounds cool. Of course I want one now. The whole treasure cache of sats is, of course, even more intriguing.
This is another example of the randomly interesting things you may stumble upon on any given Friday night here on Hive.
