Yea. I have noticed that as well but having more RCs means it recovers faster. I remember how bad things were after I lost a delegation when I was small.

Yeah, we need more Hispanic representation, and more active nodes. Also people aware of what the nodes do... there are many nodes inactive for years and still very high on the top.
Urgh I can't find them because we packed them up....But I own a pair of these. Just can't find them right now. Exclusive 'Foosh Edmonton 99' series. 1/2
What if @anomadsoul gets a large crypto community to start engaging on LeoThreads yet, because most lions are not on here, they fail to see much value in this and leave?
Yes but it wasnt focused upon the stacking. Activity is the first part and the key to it all. We need the financial end but it all starts with activity.
That is a concern. Probably 80% (just a guess) of the posts get no engagement now. Not saying that EVERY post deserves it simply because it, you know, has words.
People want to know they are valued. Has to be a solution . . .
Exactly. I do try. If I see something that has enough words that catches my attention, I will usually comment. My 'like' doesn't carry much weight yet, but I still do it.
Seek out value and let them know. It benefits everyone.
The value to the platform is the click and the comment. The latter could inspire the threader to reply and, perhaps, start a conversation. That is how it all starts.
That is very true. I would counter with, on threads, a lot of what you see is people just dropping links to their long form posts. Not sure that is worth much engagement since those people tend not to respond anyway.
Engagement is two-way. You can't expect others to do what you won't. I might want to build a conversation, but if you don't respond, I go away. I talk to myself enough already! :P
@taskmaster4450le - the #mets will have to reel off 6 or 7 series wins in a row to convince me they will pull a game like this one out at this point. Scherzer did his job. Alonso lead off double and zip SMH.
I started watching it late, but got the alerts when Vogelbach and Lindor homered. Scherzer pitched into the eight. Eight strikeouts. One earned run. @taskmaster4450le
The damn Marlins won't lose and that kid they got from the Twins was a coup. I wanted the Mets to trade for him instead of Correa. Batting 400 in mid-June. Went 5 for 5 today. Marlins have won 5 in a row.
"Maximize your savings potential with the 50/30/20 rule: Allocate 50% of your income for essentials, 30% for personal expenses, and save 20% for future goals" - How would you equate this doing it with crypto? Just curious. #crypto #askleo
I think for crypto, it's going to depend on how widely it's adopted. If it's completely usable as currency, then same principle/ratio can likely be applied!
Leofinance is morphing into something much bigger than it was orginally planned. This can be seen in the fact that we are dealing with microblogging. This was something that was part of the evolution.
2/ We are now seeing ideas percolate that can take things to a higher level. Ad revenue is a model that is going to keep being added to. LeoThreads appeals to a broad section of users since it is general topic based.
I just wonder why not other dApps contemplate d idea of ad revenue in their portal. Don't u think relying on DHF in d long run is counterproductive? Each dApp in this ecosystem in time should become independent to enrich the Hive as a whole

Yes. Well my guess is that the ad revenue smart contract probably goes live in the next couple (or few) months. Then we will see what excitement that generates.
3/ We are also tied to a blockchain that has a number of features on it. In keeping with the everything app, we can incorporate them in, to enhance the utility of Leofinance. The internal exchange is one example.
4/ Then we can look at other options to enhance the appeal of Leofinance to more people. The days of talking on thousands are over. Now it is moving into the millions. Why are we trying to short change things?
5/ The fact is that, in the digital world, by thinking bigger we can achieve bigger results. The idea of 1M pageviews in a day might see huge but it is nothing on the internet. Neither is a $150M entity.
I see this is happening before our eyes. Given time and provided Threads scales, millions could become a reality.
Question: Have we reached 100 000 Threads?
A number of factors. Obviously getting more from the people who are already on hive is vital. But there are other things in the works such as partnerships and other expansions to the UI.
All of that should have an impact upon the page views which feeds into ad revenue. I feel that once that starts, if price moves up, we know how that excites people and draws attention.
I know there's been talk before of a rebranding (losing the Finance). Is that still being considered? I believe ads for finance related content usually pay multiples better than general ads.
I dont know if that is on the table. I know incorporating other aspects of Hive is in keeping with the everything app idea. I do believe you are correct, finance, money, banking type content gets better ad revenue typically on social med.
Yeah that is a spreadsheet problem for someone who has access to the numbers. I dont even know what the ad revenue looks like other than just guessing based upon the info we have publicly.
To be honest, on that thread (pun intended), having Threads as the banner to onboard people would be very useful. Even if it turns out to be the Everything App, it's a great marketing strategy because it's broad and simple.
Integration of multiple aspects of the community, as a whole, is powerful. The internal networking effect is also not to be underestimated. It's truly fascinating to see the future evolving before my eyes.
A bit off-topic, but I saw that someone with a large curation trail has been giving your posts very large downvotes over the past few months, usually after you receive most of your upvotes. What the heck happened (if you're willing)?
That's what I figured. I think I know who's behind that one. That's very unfortunate because your posts genuinely provide a lot of value to the blockchain.
Incorrect. Leo has nothing unique to offer to either web2 or web3. All of its features are on Hive, and a real competitor can overthrow it in mere months. I know you get paid to shill Leo, but being realistic is also important.
There are many inactive witness high in the top 100 because people has not updated their votes.
Go check your votes, and look for the new projects such as HispaPro
Totally agree as they will regret this one day when they have no portfolio and cannot benefit from the crypto prices. Imagine holding no value as I can't even imagine what that would even feel like.
Agreed 100%. Too bad that some users have to sell - sad actually. In my opinion, this is the perfect time to accumulate more and stake all to get more VP -> get more LEO.
Yeah, that's settling for scraps, a quick fix, and not seeing the opportunity and potential. I try to keep a clear vision in my head of what Threads can be in two years and plan ahead.
It should be close with the ad buy back. It's going to take a major bull run to get it anywhere close to $1 again me thinks or a huge user base growth on hive/leo.
Some people only see the short term or their need to get money is immediate. I don't judge anyone's situation. But to get more in the future, the only way is to stake and HOLD :)
I got a new keyboard and these are the very first words I typed with my new keyboard.I'm not bragging about my new keyboard, I just wanted to test my new keyboard.
LOL not yet, but one of the reasons I needed a new keyboard in the first place was because I spilled beer on my notebook and some of the keys were not working properly and I'm not even joking
I use a notebook so I logged on with the notebook keyboard. But I dont like it so I bought a new USB keyboard that I just took out of the box and plugged in
Yes! I love them too! I was using my notebook's keyboard for so long and they arent clicky at all so it feels good to have a proper keyboard after so long
not gonna lie I love the short clips lol a lot of times It's pretty impossible for me to sit through 2+ hours of a podcast so thank you for doing the extra work on these shorts!
Same here. I listen to podcasts while I am doing some stuff around the house. I know also that we live in a "shorts" society now. That is why I put my time and effort to create that short ones for all of you :)
and thanks to this we're gonna have "ammo" to spread around Web2 social medias to catch more attention to Hive. I am doing like 1-2 videos everyday, tons of hours spent. We are preparing a team to do this more like BOOM BOOM :)

So I am trying to do a long form post on the Leo UI on mobile. And when I publish (it does not) I get a data base error saying there was a hardfork #feedback
2/
The weird thing is it grabs a 3 year old graphic even though I uploaded a new one. Grabs my first new paragraph and then starts adding the 3 year old post to it.
Replies made 2 threads which R not indexed yet get transformed N2 top-level threads; then most people don't know which thread prompted that reply. Ironically, other front-ends will display these "unindexed" threads. That's embarrassing.
Yeah a major fuck up if you ask me. The fact there is no edit button on long form posts is a joke too. How can you have no edit button to edits articles?
2/🧵 - We have here in the Philippines, the Maynilad Water Services, Inc. that last month of April, they released a bill amounting to 7,000.00 PHP. May wife called and emailed them. She waited for one month and there was no reply.
3/🧵 - They responded only last week of May and based on their investigation their meter reading is correct. If they're investigation is correct, my wife asked them to explain such a huge increase in water bill?
4/🧵 - The Maynilad didn't want to admit that they were wrong. Looking back to the history of our water bills for years, such an increase is unacceptable.
5/🧵 - Later, my wife heard that two of her office mates had the same case. So it seems that this a modus operandi of some corrupt personalities inside the Maynilad.

#hivebr #weekend
This was pretty epic
At night, my girlfriend and I went for a walk in the park and took some pictures of the sky.
#sky #photo
That means you had a quality weekend.
It was great, it's good to take some time off once in a while
Sounds you had a really fun day and evening walk as well. Great shot of the beautiful sky
Walking at night is very good, the cold wind makes everything much more pleasant.
I believe so. Used to do that when we were in the city.
Swimming is one of the best exercises.
Swimming is very good, it works the whole body and improves the breath a lot
Good deal. Always good to relax and take in the warmth.
The heat is enormous! Next weekend will also be in the water, but this time in a real river.
Oh fun things I learned today on $HIVE
If you delegate and undelegate RC to people, even if it's minimal, it'll drain your own RC lol
I'm down to 33% right now lol
If you do it once, that's a learning opportunity. If you do it again, that's a sign of stupidity! LOL
Dude, I've been on this blockchain for years and I still learn new things every day lol Even if it hurts lol
That means you are USING it! lol
You don't learn if you never try!
Oh no doubt man, gotta use this stuff every single day
Way to learn something new today. Tomorrow... fractions
Math is my favorite! 1+1 = 3 and no one can tell me different!!! lol
Oh! I didn't even notice that. Thanks for letting us know.
It's rebuilding, but wow, shocked to see it get that low so quick.
It looks like transactions on Hive are taking more RCs.
It should recover pretty soon. When I undelegated RC (and I actually had the vast majority delegated), it came back to 100% after a short while.
Sounds to me like you just need to power up more $HIVE ;)
Yea. I have noticed that as well but having more RCs means it recovers faster. I remember how bad things were after I lost a delegation when I was small.
Lol who'd have thunk it
Quite terrifying. Didn't know about this.

I've got lots of Edmonton Oilers and Buffalo Bills hats around if you need one....
Any 90s-esque ones?

I got one better....Give me a few minutes to dig it up! lol
Urgh I can't find them because we packed them up....But I own a pair of these. Just can't find them right now. Exclusive 'Foosh Edmonton 99' series. 1/2
Shoes are orange and blue Oilers colors, with 99 on the back heel.
Funny looking hat ;)
But seriously, they are epic.
Do you wear them or before packing up were they sitting on display somewhere in your house haha?
And yesterday you had no milk.
You are struggling a great deal.
😂😂 Well now I feel bad...
We feel bad for you. No milk and then cant find your hat.

Ah, that sucks to hear. I hope you find it later down the line.

What if @anomadsoul gets a large crypto community to start engaging on LeoThreads yet, because most lions are not on here, they fail to see much value in this and leave?
The dilemma. We will overcome
People need to type more.
Another reason why....I stack :)
That is not in reference to stacking but activity.
Ahhh but we stack by being active as well!!!!
Moar active = Moar stacks!
Yes but it wasnt focused upon the stacking. Activity is the first part and the key to it all. We need the financial end but it all starts with activity.
And activity needs to beget more activity.
Like you did today with your "conversation" on threads instead of discord.
Oh I hear you. You said it best, activity begets activity!
A lot of fun stuff for the show tomorrow night.
No plan but we can see if we can get the threadcast going. I will try to get some questions in early.
The lions might be sleeping 👀
Well that is one way to look at it. But I dont buy it since I know there were a lot of awake lions a few weeks ago.
It will be interesting to see how many will come out when Eric's contest starts.
I dont even know what the contest is. I dont follow that stuff.
Do you have the 411 or could you drop it as a threadstorm.
I don't have the exact or any sufficient info too so it's a wait-and-see.
That is a concern. Probably 80% (just a guess) of the posts get no engagement now. Not saying that EVERY post deserves it simply because it, you know, has words.
People want to know they are valued. Has to be a solution . . .
They are simply scalping what they can.
But people who are legit and threading, I agree we need to focus upon giving them some pageviews and comments.
Exactly. I do try. If I see something that has enough words that catches my attention, I will usually comment. My 'like' doesn't carry much weight yet, but I still do it.
Seek out value and let them know. It benefits everyone.
The value to the platform is the click and the comment. The latter could inspire the threader to reply and, perhaps, start a conversation. That is how it all starts.
People who understand personal branding will realize the power of what is here.
The question is how many actually do understand it?
From what I see? Not many!
I think your perception is very good on this one, not that it is well hidden. But we have so many who fail to grasp what is being offered here.
That is very true. I would counter with, on threads, a lot of what you see is people just dropping links to their long form posts. Not sure that is worth much engagement since those people tend not to respond anyway.
Engagement is two-way. You can't expect others to do what you won't. I might want to build a conversation, but if you don't respond, I go away. I talk to myself enough already! :P

I will say the article was a bit light on the philosophy.

No sir, never deep...I'm not that smart lol
damn. no threadstorm about the article.
I knew I forgot something....I can't keep up with what's the proper way to post a link lolololol

Threads is a great way to earn some LEO. A lot of the big LEO stakers are here.
Yeah, it is.

Dont. It is a different feature on the platform. Many are also calling threadstorms "threadcasts". So it takes a bit to get use to them.
Think is there was a lot of threads, you wouldnt want yout threadstorm spread out.
People would see the first and not be able to find the additional ones.
That is why, thread, then keep replying to that original thread. Then all the pieces would be together.

The #mets are winning 6-1. See if they can hang on.
@taskmaster4450le - the #mets will have to reel off 6 or 7 series wins in a row to convince me they will pull a game like this one out at this point. Scherzer did his job. Alonso lead off double and zip SMH.
I am not even watching. I just checked the score online.
How did they get their runs?
And yes it will take a massive run over the course of a month to do some convincing.
I started watching it late, but got the alerts when Vogelbach and Lindor homered. Scherzer pitched into the eight. Eight strikeouts. One earned run. @taskmaster4450le
Lindor just drove in two more runs. Five for the game. @taskmaster4450le
The damn Marlins won't lose and that kid they got from the Twins was a coup. I wanted the Mets to trade for him instead of Correa. Batting 400 in mid-June. Went 5 for 5 today. Marlins have won 5 in a row.
Yeah he won the batting title last year. Looks like he will get another one.
They did give up a good arm though but wow.
In 2002/2003 Bill Mueller won the battle title in back to back seasons for different leagues Red Sox/Cubs @taskmaster4450le

I personally try to reinvest over 50% of everything I make into either investments or business (LEO)
It’s not possible for everyone depending on life circumstances
I always tell ppl I know to put at least 10% toward crypto / investments

Leofinance is morphing into something much bigger than it was orginally planned. This can be seen in the fact that we are dealing with microblogging. This was something that was part of the evolution.
2/ We are now seeing ideas percolate that can take things to a higher level. Ad revenue is a model that is going to keep being added to. LeoThreads appeals to a broad section of users since it is general topic based.

I do agree with your assessment but most take the easy path. If the DHF is going to keep doling out money, they will take it.
I have a feeling that once the ad revenue gets going, others will copy it.
External revenue is the reason for a strong $LEO in its PA even during a bear market. A strong use case always defeats external factors.
It is crucial to bring money in from the outside. So on this end of things, I think the team is wise. It will help to keep feeding the ones who have stake. The buying by the bot is the first level, the fomo from users is the other.
Like most things in crypto, it is a monkey see, monkey do. So if Leo is having success, others will try to follow suit.
I wish they do follow Leo sooner, that's better for them as well as for the Hive ecosystem.
Yes. Well my guess is that the ad revenue smart contract probably goes live in the next couple (or few) months. Then we will see what excitement that generates.
3/ We are also tied to a blockchain that has a number of features on it. In keeping with the everything app, we can incorporate them in, to enhance the utility of Leofinance. The internal exchange is one example.
4/ Then we can look at other options to enhance the appeal of Leofinance to more people. The days of talking on thousands are over. Now it is moving into the millions. Why are we trying to short change things?
5/ The fact is that, in the digital world, by thinking bigger we can achieve bigger results. The idea of 1M pageviews in a day might see huge but it is nothing on the internet. Neither is a $150M entity.
6/ Leofinance is an expanding platform. There is enormous potential here. We simply have to raise our expectations and get busy.
I see this is happening before our eyes. Given time and provided Threads scales, millions could become a reality.
Question: Have we reached 100 000 Threads?
A number of factors. Obviously getting more from the people who are already on hive is vital. But there are other things in the works such as partnerships and other expansions to the UI.
All of that should have an impact upon the page views which feeds into ad revenue. I feel that once that starts, if price moves up, we know how that excites people and draws attention.
We might not like it but we cant deny that green candles and mooning tokens get attention. $LEO might be the biggest promotor in this.

I know there's been talk before of a rebranding (losing the Finance). Is that still being considered? I believe ads for finance related content usually pay multiples better than general ads.
I dont know if that is on the table. I know incorporating other aspects of Hive is in keeping with the everything app idea. I do believe you are correct, finance, money, banking type content gets better ad revenue typically on social med.
So keeping it is probably a good idea from that perspective.
I guess it just depends on whether the increase in per ad revenue offsets the limiter on user growth that "finance" may cause.
Yeah that is a spreadsheet problem for someone who has access to the numbers. I dont even know what the ad revenue looks like other than just guessing based upon the info we have publicly.
To be honest, on that thread (pun intended), having Threads as the banner to onboard people would be very useful. Even if it turns out to be the Everything App, it's a great marketing strategy because it's broad and simple.
Once onboarded, people can always dive deeper if they find something interesting.
Integration of multiple aspects of the community, as a whole, is powerful. The internal networking effect is also not to be underestimated. It's truly fascinating to see the future evolving before my eyes.
A bit off-topic, but I saw that someone with a large curation trail has been giving your posts very large downvotes over the past few months, usually after you receive most of your upvotes. What the heck happened (if you're willing)?
Just a whale who feels that I am overrewarded.
It is a curation trail.
That's what I figured. I think I know who's behind that one. That's very unfortunate because your posts genuinely provide a lot of value to the blockchain.
Yep. That is how things work at times on Hive.
Incorrect. Leo has nothing unique to offer to either web2 or web3. All of its features are on Hive, and a real competitor can overthrow it in mere months. I know you get paid to shill Leo, but being realistic is also important.
Don't listen to the haters lol
They all get upset that $LEO is succeeding. Been seeing a lot of them come out of the woodwork lately
What a day! Lots of stuff going on. Hopefully tomorrow will be quieter
Your threading was less than spectacular.
Yea, stupid stuff kept me out of home most of the day
Hope you didn't get a headache though?
No! Thanfully I did not
Great to hear.
Threading = The best side hustle ?
i dunno about the best lol but it is fun
that's true

@taskmaster4450le this is frickin' hilarious. Great share @brandon28 🤣
😅 Thanks! And that name, 'Mr.DrinksOnMe' lol

Have you checked your Witness votes?
There are many inactive witness high in the top 100 because people has not updated their votes.
Go check your votes, and look for the new projects such as HispaPro
Good point
Oh, I haven't, thanks for reminding
Yes, it is good to check this sometimes. I try to do it atleast twice a year but should lool quarterly.
cool thanks for the reminder! I’ll see if there’s an inactive vote on mine that I can help your group out with!
It's your #crypto and you can do whatever you like with it. But man, seeing some of the people that sell every day.
Less selling, more staking please!
if you don't want to curate, just delegate....
Absolutely!
Totally agree as they will regret this one day when they have no portfolio and cannot benefit from the crypto prices. Imagine holding no value as I can't even imagine what that would even feel like.
Agreed! But you know it'll happen.
Agreed 100%. Too bad that some users have to sell - sad actually. In my opinion, this is the perfect time to accumulate more and stake all to get more VP -> get more LEO.
Oh I have no issue with people selling, but when all they do is sell...And then wonder why they aren't progressing here on chain, that's there answer.
Yeah, that's settling for scraps, a quick fix, and not seeing the opportunity and potential. I try to keep a clear vision in my head of what Threads can be in two years and plan ahead.
Best way to look at it man, most never do. The effort put in now, what will that turn into a few years from now.
lol need that freakin ad rev smart contract to kick in already....
How long until $LEO is over 20 cents once that kicks in? lol
It should be close with the ad buy back. It's going to take a major bull run to get it anywhere close to $1 again me thinks or a huge user base growth on hive/leo.
Agreed. Loved your article today man, exactly how I think lol
It would be people are always chasing the money. The people who don't sell tend to be the ones you can find out over time and follow along.
Amen to that!
It really does seem to be the ones that stick around long term, are the ones that keep 'finding' success.
Sometimes, I should even take my own advice lol
Except $LEO, I'm never selling lololol
Yes but you have stake so this is not the same thing lol. Technicalities.
Yeah I'm keeping my focus on a few tokens and sell the rest. Allows me to get into the tokens I'm concentrating on.
Some people only see the short term or their need to get money is immediate. I don't judge anyone's situation. But to get more in the future, the only way is to stake and HOLD :)
Great meme mate!!
I got a new keyboard and these are the very first words I typed with my new keyboard.I'm not bragging about my new keyboard, I just wanted to test my new keyboard.
Ser? When Keyboard Moon?
SOON
You spill bear on it yet?
LOL not yet, but one of the reasons I needed a new keyboard in the first place was because I spilled beer on my notebook and some of the keys were not working properly and I'm not even joking
You don't need a keyboard to log into your computer?
I use a notebook so I logged on with the notebook keyboard. But I dont like it so I bought a new USB keyboard that I just took out of the box and plugged in
Ah ok. I was wondering if you just plugged it in after getting to threads or if you needed it to type anything at all.
are the keys super clicky? i love clicky keyboards
Yes! I love them too! I was using my notebook's keyboard for so long and they arent clicky at all so it feels good to have a proper keyboard after so long
Luckily my laptop is super click

not gonna lie I love the short clips lol a lot of times It's pretty impossible for me to sit through 2+ hours of a podcast so thank you for doing the extra work on these shorts!
Same here. I listen to podcasts while I am doing some stuff around the house. I know also that we live in a "shorts" society now. That is why I put my time and effort to create that short ones for all of you :)
oh big time! That's something I'm starting to train myself and get better at. Daily walks or working outside to slap on a book or podcast etc.
and thanks to this we're gonna have "ammo" to spread around Web2 social medias to catch more attention to Hive. I am doing like 1-2 videos everyday, tons of hours spent. We are preparing a team to do this more like BOOM BOOM :)

This is what happens when a couple of people get on threads and simply converse.
Look at the numbers for like 20 minutes.

i'll say it again...
just imagine if all of $HIVE got off twitter, discord and reddit and actually...heaven forbid...use this stuff every day
We would have well over 20K threads per day and pageviews would run into the hundreds of thousands.
I will never understand it.
Yea. I wish more people got off Discord though.

So I am trying to do a long form post on the Leo UI on mobile. And when I publish (it does not) I get a data base error saying there was a hardfork #feedback

The weird thing is it grabs a 3 year old graphic even though I uploaded a new one. Grabs my first new paragraph and then starts adding the 3 year old post to it.

Thankfully it does not post. But here is a screen shot of what it looks like.

No andwhy would i sell my pending rewards
I didn't say anything about selling. I was just wondering if there was a way to see all the pending LEO payouts.
Sorry its morning i'm half sleeping lmao well just manualy count and you'll have an ideaof the pending payout
I'll pass on that. It sounds like way too much trouble to do that.

These are the 3 words no LeoThreads user wants to ever see:
not indexed yetIt's true that threads are on blockchain. However, replying to these threads-- made using LeoThreads-- isn't an option with LeoThreads.
Haha that's true.
A major pain in the ass. There is also a problem with some of the replies showing up and no way to find out what they are related to.
When someone says something like yes that is a great idea, if you dont know the thread or article..
Replies made 2 threads which R
not indexed yetget transformed N2 top-level threads; then most people don't know which thread prompted that reply. Ironically, other front-ends will display these "unindexed" threads. That's embarrassing.Yeah a major fuck up if you ask me. The fact there is no edit button on long form posts is a joke too. How can you have no edit button to edits articles?
Insane.
..it pertains to, that is a major problem.
What will you do if after several years, you water bill suddenly shoot up to 17.5x from 400.00 to 7,000.00?
1/🧵
#threadstorm
Damn that's crazy! That's why it's important to try to be as self sufficient as possible unfortunately it's not that simple
There isn't much you can do but see if other people are facing the same issue. If so, then figure out why it has gone up.
Darn! You might need to check for any leakage or someone may have tapped on your pipes.
My wife said that there was no leak or anyone tapping on our pipes.
That's very odd. Or perhaps the meter is broken? Or unless they increased their price to how much to shoot your bill like that.
2/🧵 - We have here in the Philippines, the Maynilad Water Services, Inc. that last month of April, they released a bill amounting to 7,000.00 PHP. May wife called and emailed them. She waited for one month and there was no reply.
3/🧵 - They responded only last week of May and based on their investigation their meter reading is correct. If they're investigation is correct, my wife asked them to explain such a huge increase in water bill?
4/🧵 - The Maynilad didn't want to admit that they were wrong. Looking back to the history of our water bills for years, such an increase is unacceptable.
5/🧵 - Later, my wife heard that two of her office mates had the same case. So it seems that this a modus operandi of some corrupt personalities inside the Maynilad.
6/🧵
In the end, they asked my wife to pay the bill in installment or else they will cut the water service.
If you were in our situation, what will you do?

Staking of $PEPE has been enabled. Wondering about the token's utility.
I don't think MEME tokens really have any utility.
That's what I am curious about because I heard from a friend that the issuer of the token is thinking of a utility for $PEPE.
What type of utility do they want to do? Will they make a new blockchain like DOGE?
Number go up if you're lucky lol
