Friend: "Does Facebook give you anything for Posting and Commenting? No? Right, get onto this..."
And thus began my introduction into Social Media Crypto.
Good evening Michael,
I see you are heading back to Melbourne.
Safe travels!
On recent shows you have been talking much about the "Misinformation" Bill that the Grubberment wants to pass.
Funnily, their Bill seems to work only one-way.
So, I'll just do a quick post highlighting the potential for Cafe Locked Out's Community to benefit from using the HIVE BLOCKCHAIIIIN.
Although, there is a learning curve due to the systems are not tripple "A" perfect.
That, however, is something that is also endearing.
1. Blockchain Blogging
This BLOG post is now on the HIVE BLOCKCHAIN.
Here is will be once I publish this ... simple dimple.
I can insert Videos, Pictures, Links.
There are some posting tricks to be learned.
There are certain commands that makes your posing life easier.
This is something that can inspire others in the Community to help out. Plus, there are tutorials, Hive Community Leaders, and so forth, who will always help out.
2. Community
Just like Reddit, Facebook, and any Social Media Platform, you can focus on adding people you follow, comment or by joining a Community.
You can also create a Community, such as the CafeLockedOut one.
It is all a matter of trying to create engagement.
3. 3rd Party Extensions
This Blog I am posting on PEAKD, a 3rd party platform.
There are many posting platforms you can use.
Each has different layouts and functionality.
Some may even reward you in their own Token.

There are also other tools that have been created to assist in performing actions upon the HIVE BLOCKCHAIN.
4. Token Value
Your account has a Wallet that accumulates TOKENS.
You earn HIVE by Posting and Upvoting.
You have HIVE and HBD.
But there are many, many, Tokens
5. HIVE EXCHANGE and GAMES
Splinterlands.io
Projects, Games, Transactions and any Economy movements are run efficiently and cheaply (many times for free) within the HIVE ECOSYSTEM.
For those who want a more complex experience = Hive can provide it.
For those who want a simple experience = Hive can provide it.
6. And there's more...
I'm just a small potato.
So, there's tools, communities, crossovers with other products, that I am not savvy with.
But, add Discord Groups, Twitter, YouTube etc and you help galvanise your community.
The benefit of HIVE is the element of Blockchain & Economy.
Here's Looking at you Kid.
I was explaining it to someone at school the other day .... They actually seemed to get it and were impressed. They didn't sign up though 😜
Yes, I don't over sell it to people. I actually give them a sober explanation.
Crypto is not about making money. There are times you can profit but that cannot be your primary motivation
HIVE is FREE to participate. YOU can make it into whatever you want it to be.
The major PLUS for the CAFELOCKEDOUT Tribe is they can create their own ecosystem.
The potential downside is they may track in some DOG POOP (Trolls) into our EcoSystem.
But, ultimately, it is Community driven = it thrives if you participate.
And financially investing into this Ecosystem is a process.
We are all motivated by different factors.
The obvious feeling of, "This is a Pyramid scheme!", is a rational response.
But, if you lift the layers of any Economy - they are all a Pyramid Scheme of some sort.
But we attach other values & complexities to dilute the potential for major scamming.
That is why Empires ultimately fail = The Pyramid Scheme finally grinds itself into the ground.
My toe-dipping into financial committing to Steemit/HIVE was basically, "I like it, I enjoy it, I'd rather drop money here than anywhere else at this moment."
