The @buynburn uses its HBD to buy and burn coins on #hive-engine. The account writes articles about different HIVE tribes each week and a summary of the burn on Monday.
Today is Monday.
I decided to burn some CCC. CCC is given by the #creativecoin tribe. After I publish this post, I will burn 937 CCC which has a reported value of 0.44988 HIVE or $0.187 USD.
The total burned to date is:
| Coin | Burned | HIVE Value | USD Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| HIVE | 0 | 0.001 | $0.00 |
| HBD | 0 | 0.000 | $0.00 |
| CENT | 614 | 2.127 | $0.92 |
| CCC | 2,676 | 1.163 | $0.48 |
| TIX | 1,478 | 0.000 | $0.00 |
| PAY | 10,638 | 0.001 | $0.00 |
| MEME | 1,104 | 0.141 | $0.06 |
| FOODIE | 752 | 0.094 | $0.04 |
| PAY | 4,290 | 0.026 | $0.01 |
| Total | 21,552 | 3.553 | $1.51 |
The amount I burn is based on the HIVE and HBD rewards for my posts. The account has not received many upvotes
A Creative Element for Creative Coin
As I understand the #creative coin tribe was designed to reward posts with creative elements like original drawings or music.
NOTE: The photo tribe rewards photography.
I really like the fact that #creativecoin can provide a little income for new artists.
I gave up on art decades ago because there is simply no interest in art where I live.
My account @vagabondspirit has 60K CCC and upvotes posts that appear to have original arworks. 60K CCC gives a reward that is just about 10 CCC.
The primary reason that I created the @buynburn program was to support the CCC tribe.
Anyway, I realized that, if I am to buy and burn some CCC, I need to do something creative. So, I thought I would create a ten minute scribble art picture ... scribble art is all the rage on the platform.
I haven't drawn in years. I decided to do a man's face. I would have a lighthouse and boat in the background.
For proof of art, I took a picture of my smartphone, which displays the time.
I then sat down and the phone rang.
I couldn't believe it. The phone call was a prerecorded voice from Publisher's Clearing House telling me I won something that I could receive after doing something.
I can't recall the full details of the offer as I hung up while the prerecorded voice was in mid sentence.
I then took a second picture of my phone seen above.
I decided to start the picture by drawing the ear ... this made me wander what ears look like.
Does the shape of the ear really matter in a scribble drawing?
I then tried to draw some hair.
Scribbling works great for hair. I then tried to remember what eyes, noses and mouths looked like. I finally finished the face and decided to draw the lighthouse.
I live 3000 miles from the closest light house. I tried to remember what lighthouses looked like.
I then decided to draw a sailing boat and tried to remember what boats look like.
Having spent ten minutes on the picture, I took a photo with the clock in it. I finished the project by taking a picture that didn't have the clock in it.
I took the picture of the finished masterwork outside in the full sun.
note ... the picture doesn't have to be good, just original.
I am burning other undervalued tokens. Again. I will transfer all of my HBD rewards and most of my HP rewards. I need to keep about 5 HP so that the account has resources to post and engage in transactions.
