BRO NEWSPAPER | ISSUE 28 | 2022
We try to keep you informed about the tribes which we have invested in with Brofund, since you, as a BRO-Holder, have also indirectly invested in those projects. Due to this, it's possible that you will see some tribes often, and others not at all. This hasn't got anything to do with the tribe itself, or that these tribes are not active. It's only because of the fact that we have not (yet) invested in these projects. Since @raymondspeaks is always on the lookout for projects on Hive-Engine to possibly support, this can change from week to week.
We have decided not to include more than 3 projects per week in the Bro Newspaper. This makes it easier for you to read, and you don't get an excessive amount of information. If I were you, I would pay close attention to those three projects, because they could become very interesting in the short run. For now, let's just say that your time and attention could pay for itself!
Hello BROs!
Here we are with the weekly BRO Newspaper again. The first thing to do is take a look at the price actions of Bitcoin, and to be honest, there is not much I can say about Bitcoin. It is trading in the $20K range. Sometimes a litte below, sometimes a little above. Nothing too special here. But, I heard that the indicators are showing that we are forming a bottom here. And that, that would be awesome news if that could be confirmed. Since I am by no means a professional crypto trader. I have to wait and see what is going to happen. Many people think we still have one big leg down to swallow. The only thing here to say is, BE CAREFUL!
Now that we have said that, let's go and take a look if anything happened or is going to happen on our own beloved Hive Blockchain.
TRIBE & PROJECT NEWS
THE MANCAVE
Have any of you ever read the BROPAPER? If you can answer 'YES' to this, then you probably also read a piece about the Dragons Den that was planned when @raymondspeaks wrote the BROPAPER.
Soon it will be time and the Dragons Den will be opened. The first candidate is ready and we hope the Dragons are ready too! But more than that, we hope everyone at Hive is ready, as we just might be able to greet new projects soon. With a unique idea and a lot of persuasiveness, it may be possible to get help, (read the BROPAPER if you want to know what kind of help is possible), for your project from the BRO Dragons Den, for which the Dragons (BRO) will receive a share in your project in return.
Also currently being worked on is Hive in a Box! If you have a project on Hive, but you are having some trouble planning and branding your project. Let us know and maybe Hive in a Box is for you. The knowledge, skills and experience of the BRO Team can also be put to work for you!
These are two projects that you can now look forward to. It is not far in the future anymore.
Something else that is not far in the future, but happening right now is a CLAIMDROP
BLOCKHEADGAMES
We had already written about an upcoming CLAIMDROP in a previous issue of the Bro Newspaper and this week the announcement appeared in the newsfeed. The Claimdrop is ready to go. What does this Claimdrop mean?
To find out, it is highly advisable to read through @themarkymark's announcementblog. He explains everything about what the Claimdrop entails, and you will also find all the information you need to claim the drop.
Please note, you must own at least 1 Hive Punk to be eligible.
Have fun ya'll!
The next tribe we're looking at this week is
SPLINTERLANDS
One of the top games in crypto, and always innovative. Always working on developments, adjustments and constantly monitoring the game data to ensure that the game can continue to run. The team tries to continue to ensure that the wishes of the community can be integrated into their own ideas of how the game should move forward.
Take a look back at how Splinterlands started, and open your eyes to see what Splinterlands is now. The long road traveled. When you do that, you see how much work has gone into this. And with how much love for both the game, but also the growing community, this game continues to grow.
The latest update is a change in the ranked games rewards! You can read all about it in the detailed blog posted by @splinterlands.
There are a few more minor adjustments that are interesting to know. The minimum term for renting cards is 2 days and by giving players a chance to find Merits in reward chests in each league, the team aims to motivate players to join a guild themselves! To participate in Brawls, in short, to play the game in its entirety.
What struck me the most, however, was reading the comments. When there is a team that works hard, trying to reconcile the interests of the community with the interests of the game. To make everything run smoothly, this is Splinterlands. Yet I see quite a few selfish reactions in comments from people who only think of themselves.
I take my hat off to the team at Splinterlands, for the continuous work, the constant development and the ever growing of a game that started small but has grown into one of the biggest games within the play2earn genre.
I haven't written anything about the next tribe for quite some time. But don't think they've been sitting still! On the contrary! I am talking about:
THGAMING
24 hours ago came the official announcement of @jim-crypto's account. A partnership has been established with a game that can be found on both HIVE and WAX. And of course this partnership also brings some extras for the THG community. The partnership is with a First Person Shooter game, Crypto Shots
When you open the Crypto Shots page, you also have the chance to grab a HIVE NFT. Only available on Hive, and a limited edition with only 500 NFTs available.
Crypto Shots competitions will soon be held via THGaming's Community channels. What can I say, entire events will be dedicated to it.
For the die-hard gamers, and the play2earn freaks who want to have fun in the current bear market, this is a community to keep an eye on.
As @jim-crypto puts it;
Trade Safely, Game Hard
As you see, enough developments on our own Hive. Despite a bear market things just keep on moving. There's so much that it can be hard to keep up with all the things going on. I can only hope that I did give you guys a nice small selection for this week.
And now, lets quickly move on to the weekly piece of information that requires your activity. Let's take a look at some of the weekly:
CONTESTS & CHALLENGES
Before you participate, check the announcement blog so that you see what the rules are.
I don't want to overflow the BRO Newspaper with contests, so if you want to find more, go ahead. There are plenty that I didn't mention here. But for us it's time to see if there's some juicy gossip to share.
GOSSIPS
I don't know all the people on Hive, which is also pretty impossible, so I certainly don't know all the 'quirks', but I can say with certainty that @erikah has an eye for shoes. No matter where she surfs Hive, she's sure to find shoes. It may be said that her eye is mainly on Flip Flops. Erikah isn't sure yet if she should place an order. She thinks about it for a while, and waits to see if there will be new offers soon. You can't just accept the first Flip Flop that comes up.
Although @papacrusher thought otherwise. He bought a new pair. And was very happy with it. Although he didn't want to show a picture of his Flip Flops. Would he be a bit ashamed of his Flip Flops after all, or would that shame mainly be about his crooked toes?
Meanwhile, temperatures in Europe are rising and I am convinced that the WEF is behind this. Anyway, we can't change that, it gets worse that @raymondspeaks apparently no longer has other clothes than just underwear! Yes, you read that right...the heat has become so unbearable for Ray, and he also fears it will never end. So he has renounced his clothes. And yes, now you understand why you haven't seen Ray very much here online in recent weeks. Working in only his underwear may have certain consequences. I'll just leave it to everyone's imagination.
When I hear people here in my area, they often think that crypto is for the young generation. And I secretly have to laugh a little. If I look at the age of the average man cave resident, you can see that age is reflected in the memories they recall together. @papacrusher who reveals that he had a Commodore 64, @beardoin as a hardcore gamer had a nice collection, @ecoinstant who immediately remembers that the SEGA GameGear was a battery eater.
If I see it that way, then I don't see much of that 'weird idea' that people around me have. Crypto for the young? Well, maybe I do live in a weird area...
And then the last gossip for this week. When luck was on my side this week, I had @raymondspeaks on its knees. Yes, of course you look surprised, but it's really true. Ray was very happy for me, but he got really anxious and suddenly panicked ... and was really afraid that I would not write a BRO Newspaper anymore. He begged me not to stop, played on my gut, and told me he didn't know what to replace the Bro Newspaper with. Now what could he write that would keep people just as interested? You can say it! In any case, it is clear with the appearance of this BRO Newspaper. Ray's plea was successful...although I hadn't even thought about stopping for a second!
Since this is not a gossip magazine, I'll leave it to this. Next week we'll be back with some new juicy gossips.
Now let's talk some serious business. Let's have a look at the news that is relevant to each and every one of us. And that's the:
GENERAL CRYPTO NEWS
DeFi’s downturn deepens, but protocols with revenue and fee sharing could thrive
Senator Durbin Unhappy With ‘Obscene Amounts of Electricity’ Needed for Crypto Mining
Spain: Can the Spanish government help Decentraland from sinking sales?
Even in crypto, you should enjoy some free time once in a while, have a slow week and stay away from your screen. And that was this week for me. With the big crypto selloff, the plummeting portfolios and a very negative crypto twitter, it was the perfect time to recharge. More news next week! If you feel there's something in this newspaper you'd like to chat about with us?
