Hive Power Up Day: 1,040 More Hive in the Trunk

in #hive12 days ago

It's been a bit of a crazy weekend, with communities committing sudoku, and degens doing degen things.

Crypto is fun, but the speculative aspects of it lost their luster for me some years ago. I don't need the moon as long I've got some North Carolina soil I can work with a hoe, and shovel.

Blockchain, and the rational aspects of crypto are compelling - whether providing decentralized mechanisms to exchange value or secure freedom.

Have you read "The Digital Community Manifesto: Digital Rights, Game Theory and Governance of Scalable Blockchains for Use in Network States" ? written by @starkerz and @theycallmedan

You should!

It's a cogent and thorough examination of sustainable elements and mechanisms of decentralized blockchains.

You can read it onchain at https://ecency.com/@networkstate

Or read it at the Network States website

You can even listen to the audio book, recorded by me.

I took the time today and powered up 1,040 more Hive. Which puts me up just over 16,001 Hive Power. I feel officially like a middle-class Hiver. Now to work on the white picket fence and so forth.

I wanted to hear your voice, so listened to a bit of the audio book. What a great reading voice. :)

Thank you for your continued power ups.

Thanks man! After some period of time, I'm going to record updated chapters.

That is the problem with content about industries and things that move rapidly. It is difficult to have evergreen, authoritative content that is not disjointed from the now.

With the book they wrote, because they focus on some principles rather than the minutia of the tech itself I think they have the potential to create something lasting.

Revision and expansion also can add in some persistent value.

Great mindset and congrats on your 16K HP!
Happy HPUD

Congrats on your power up, way to go!!

I wasn't aware of the book, someone else mentioned it as well yesterday, can't remember who. I'll check it out sometime

Thank you. Dan and Starkerz did an excellent job with it, and I can believe it will be maintained as a living useful reference.

Congratulations @alohaed! You received a personal badge!

You powered-up at least 1000 HP on Hive Power Up Day and got the biggest Power-Bee!
See you at the next Power Up day to see if you will repeat this feat.
May the Hive Power be with you!

You can view your badges on your board and compare yourself to others in the Ranking

@alohaed, I failed to pay out 1.439 HIVE and 0.163 HBD to reward 4 comments in this discussion thread.

My wallet is running low on Hive or HBD. I will try again later.
