Hi all, awesome Silvery Bloggers!
The March edition of #BOM - Blog of the Month has already closed and winners will be announced in the upcoming days. We want to keep our Silver Bloggers active, and have been thinking about new initiatives to encourage you to post in the community more, and not only for #bom. We also know that deciding what to write about is hard. Writer's block is a thing, so a least once a month we're going to suggest a writing prompt.
But first
The Silver Bloggers' community continues to grow. We have recently surpassed the 1,000 mark with 1007 subscribers, and of these, 180 are active.
As a reminder -
All members' delegations (now more than 7.8k's worth of HP) help with account Mana and enable us to give increasingly meaningful upvotes.
Thank you for helping us to support you and your fellow Silver Bloggers.
If you would also like to delegate, at the end of this post, there's a nifty table to help you do that. Alternatively, you can delegate directly from your wallet.
Also -
Please two other ways to offer support
Set @hive-106316 as a 5% beneficiary (in the advanced settings on PeakD and Ecency) when you post in the community - every little helps.
follow our community curation trail - another way to support the community and its members. You can sign up here.
But that's not all
The community account in its own right is now at 1,604HP. Every little bit makes our votes worth more as we support the members of our community.
Silver Prompt 1: Cryptocurrencies and retirement
As Silver Bloggers, many of us are looking for alternative ways to build a nest egg for our retirement; those not ready to retire, often need that extra income to supplement their finances and to enjoy hobbies and leisure times, like traveling - especially.
Besides wanting to write and share with our peeps, we also have a desire to learn more about blockchain and cryptocurrency. Many of us Silvery folk see cryptocurrencies as a source to generate some of that extra income.
So...why don't you tell us about any of these experiences:
- How did you get started in cryptocurrencies?
- Are cryptocurrencies included in your retirement plans?
- And if you are already an experienced crypto holder, share your knowledge with us, with a disclaimer added that it's not financial advice ;)
Or it could be any other crypto-related topic that resonates for you at this age and stage.
How to join the Silver Prompt
- Write anything about Cryptocurrencies and retirement that jive with our preferred Silver Threads
- Write 100% original content of at least 300 words
- Post in the Silver Bloggers Community and use #SilverPrompts as the first tag
- Have fun
- Deadline is at midnight GMT (also known as UTC) on Sunday 20 March 2022
Curation eyes over Prizes
There will be no prizes for this initiative - depending on how things unfold, that could change...or not. However, selected blogs will be included in a special #SilverPrompts curation post.
Bonus
The bonus will be that your blogs may be selected by the moderation team and recommended to the OCD team for additional support, plus we will get to know you a little better.
Last words...
We would love to get more eyes on this post and all community posts from - @hive-106316 - our Silver Bloggers account. This is why we try to make a point of reblogging your posts. Please, do the same.
Come and join our Silver Bloggers community
I just love this writing prompts idea. I have a hard time with where to start, so this is right up my alley.
Thanks #silverbloggers.
Good idea, love a writing prompt. Won't do this one as no one wants to read how little I know what I'm doing 😂
C'mon @riverflows, you were the one who helped so many of us with your step by step guide how to convert our steem to hive back in the dark days of Covid lockdown, it actually saved my butt for sure, as I needed cash back then when our bnb had to close for nearly 3 months! I copied & pasted it and still have it on my pc🙏🏻
Oh gosh really? That's too kind and I'm SO glad it helped!
Wow, this is cool! Thank you for this and let's see what we can come up with :)

Looking forward to this new initiative. This is a good addition to BOM.
Oh my I happened to be finishing this one up when I saw this post! First entry! Woot!

Wow... Timing or what!
Oh, how great! Thank you so much for your great entry to the prompt :)
thanks for the prompt! another exciting and yet challenging topic to write! :)
@hive-106316 I have always been kind of on the edges of the crypto world. Most of my crypto interaction centers around HIVE (and Steemit before that). So, I am really looking forward to learning more and perhaps will write about my experience so far too.
Great initiative!
Who said anything about retirement?
I have not met any silver blogger ready to throw away their side line enjoyment, sharing knowledge, squirreling little bits away for that rainy day!
Hey Ho Silver....
!LUV
@joanstewart(4/5) gave you LUV.
H-E tools | connect | <><
LUV in the dark? The confirmation-reply may soon be turned off. This would be to conserve and replenish Resource Credits. Even while operating in the dark, your LUV command will still go through as usual. You can always monitor LUV in your wallet, at explorer A or at explorer B, or best, in real time at the luv-log channel on Discord.
Tap to help.
