What @hivesucre has done is shown us that a Hive/HBD economy is possible, even in the bear in some regions of the world. We do have another project to consider now as well: @skatehive and @skatehype.com, according to their community page, is onboarding a skaters community and i incentivizing the use of Hive through offering skateboards for HBD ... they are in Europe, so, HBD for purchases will be making some inroads there if that is successful.
I am planning my fifth book and a newsletter beyond Things Ms. Dee Likes here on Hive, and the way I plan to position the mention of Hive is to learn all the things in crypto with a worldwide community and also get some sweat equity in crypto, before and during the run.
@acidyo -- this is what I was talking about with Skatehype -- the shop is in Palma, Spain, and we can go to it through the link and actually see what is on sale there for HBD and Hive.
