It was reported today that there has been a significant increase in the number of people on Hive creating Hive sticker designs to promote the Hive Community to the outside world and apply for funding from Valueplan for promoting the Hive blockchain.
The news comes after fellow investigative journalist and feather ruffler @doze's highlighting that some Hive Community members were getting paid handsomely for creating some stickers to promote our great community. On top of getting the spondulex from the Valueplan account they then posted about the stickers and received a load more spondulex on top of their payment for the stickers which some may find is "Extracting the Urine" which our friend pointed out.
On the plus side there has been a flurry of creativity on Hive.
"I have never tried the old digital design" admited Mohammed from Kenya, "but the rewards can feed my family for an entire year so I am gone hell for leather on the Hive Santa theme."
Reports suggest the payments for the stickers have really opened a can of worms on Hive around how much people should get paid for doing shit in a decentralised environment. Whereas poor @JohnnyVideoproducer gets 20 HBD for editing a video, @beatricedesign gets paid 200 HBD for the sticker design which is attracting designers to apply for similar funds.
@bellasadegre in Beirut is focusing more on a Jewish Hive theme and has been busy on Canva since the post highlighting how much was given for the stickers.
@islamforever from Islamabad has made a set of Hive Stickers for Ramadan and expects to be paid equally as handsomely for his effort as Christmas sticker girl.
Some of the eagle eyed Hive Community members who delved a bit deeper into outgoings of the Valueplan account were also wondering how the hell Marscrea is so dam unlucky that she lost her laptop in a bloody flood of all things.
It is rumoured that Marscrea is a bit like Hive Jesus spreading the word of Hive all across the globe got caught in a flash flood while she was holidaying doing an exhibition in South America. Marscrea managed to. stay afloat on one of the Hive banners which acted like a raft that her and a drowning monkey caught onto.
"Luckily the Hive banner was made of strong stuff or we would have been toast," said the monkey.
Thankfully she was sent 726 HBD by Valueplan to replace the laptop. Hopefully waterproof this time Marscrea you silly billy!
Marscrea (25) whose has received quite a few bob from the Valueplan account over the last year was said to be traumatized by the ordeal. But it did not stop her doing a Hive Promotion on the San Andreas Fault in LA which her ipad fell down a crack, and Mount Vesuvius in Naples where her phone fell into some lava but she put them through as "unexpected costs". Her next big promotion is due to be in a powerstation in Kiev where the Hive community needs to increase it's userbase.
"It might be less costly if we maybe get a Hive community that is local to the area to do the exhibition." claimed a disgruntled Hive member who saved Marscrea from the flood (didn't save the laptop though).
"Maybe that way they know which areas are prone to flooding and which areas aren't."
"Plus 5000 HBD would come in handy."he argued.
"Exhibitions and promotions are a costly but dangerous line of work to be in." said another unknown source
"There are so many unexpected costs that arise during these exhibitions."
"Only last week I was at an exhibition and the dog ran away with my homework.. I mean sandwich. It cost 80 HBD to replace that sandwich" sobbed our source.
"Luckily I put it down as an 'Unexpected Cost' due to 'regulatory requirements' and got my money back on the Cavier sandwich" claimed the Hive member.
"Works everytime."
We spoke to another Hive Community member who wished to remain nameless in case he will be downvoted into oblivion and told "you don't understand you bitter mannnnn" by the Hive uppercrusts.
"We had Ned over at Steem with his hair who we knew was boss."
"He sold up and was probably right to do so."
"Now over in Hive we are decentralized supposedly but there is an air of George Orwell Animal Farm about it."
"Everyone is equal but some are more equal than others."
"I've always wondered why the Hive price doesn't explode but now I know why."
"Business Expenses!! Unexpected costs!! Floody Laptops!"
"You never would have thought!"
"And here I am getting 4 Hive per post and powering it up."
"Turns out I am doing it wrong."
The flood has declined to comment on destroying the laptop but did point out that it was worth 250 quid at best.

Wow, this was very strong, I've always said that no one sees pretty eyes in someone else's face ha,ha,ha,ha, well that saying was not invented by me, lest the rope burst at the thinnest part. Well friend @blanchy, you are very brave to say all this and to the other guy who first said the news, I was stunned with all this. And for the flood they threw something to that country? Well I better go to sleep again. I felt bad, but I stopped by to smile and I was shaken. They really say all that about the events? Wow, and I'm always on the edge of my seat. I think I'm going to cry, but later, for now I'll cry with laughter
I'm sure it's all legit but I found the flood explanation hilarious so went with that. It's all satirical. Nothing serious. Someone has to hold the purse strings.
I should go upgrade my Canva app to make $200 worth designs for Hive, this opportunity is a rare one 😅
Even the least person to design a write up is into designing a sticker for Hive, it wouldn't be surprising to see a twitter logo as a sticker for Hive 😂
😀 If you apply to fund the Canva premium , who knows , you might get it @merit.ahama .
Lol... So I thought
😅😅😅I read this investigative story from @doze. But I didn't read this version from you! In fact, I didn't think it was possible to be so sarcastic about it. Thanks for those tears of laughter in my eyes. Also, for bringing it up again!

I'm glad you wrote this, now I feel like I can stop reading the 'serious' posts about this 'controversy'.
Wanna do an exhibition?? I'l fly to the big apple, I'l bring some Guinness and Whisky and we can promote the shit out of Hive after a few drinks. Just make sure there are none of them dam floods around!! 😃
Well, I am a bit of an exhibitionist! Not really a fan of the big apple, though, what about Buffalo, or Cleveland? They're both less likely to flood than NYC, though in Buffalo we might get buried under 7' of snow without warning. You read that right... I said ', not ".
Wait, I forgot you said you were bringing Guiness and whiskey! If I don't have to buy drinks in the Big City, I suppose it will do just fine.
I made this Xmas 3D sticker for hive. And I have not the slightest doubt that if you upvote this comment with my design, in no time will come the thughs behind Valueplan to steal me those few cents so they can have more funds available to waste them saving more monkeys from floods.
And by the way, I couldn't help but reblog this post. If anything, only for its sophisticated and informative humorous value.
@por500bolos you deserve 200 HBD for this surely. Is that a candy cane or is Mrs Claus close by?? 🤣🤣
Hahahaha, you did it! You actually want to see the thugs behind Valueplan face to face eh?
And nope mate, that riding thingy may look like a candy cane. But whoever who have a great sense of humor quickly will realize that all those white and red sections are not going to disappear with just four or five blowjobs. They will definitely have to pay much more than 200 HBD to achieve it.
