Definitely open. I must admit to ignorance about ALIVE - can you point to a post or account where I can come up to speed with what you are building.
Appreciate the kind words and definitely open to a collab, but let me learn about ALIVE a bit and see how it would fit for LBI.
Great to have you on board.
Well, the We Are Alive Tribe was originally created and jump started by Erik, @flaxz, back in 2021, which is when I discovered it, soon after joining Hive myself. I was soon recruited by Erik to be the comment moderator for the daily @aliveandthriving curation posts, which I actually still do to this day. The year before last, Erik moved locations, and after the move, he no longer had time to run the We Are Alive Tribe, or even for Hive. He basically disappeared for a year. There were only three of us, me included, that kept the We Are Alive Tribe going during that time. A year and a half ago, Erik returned and handed over the community to the three of us who kept it going, Ben, Rosyel, and me. Since that time, bit by bit, we rebuilt the We Are Alive Tribe. Last year went very well indeed. This year, not so much. I've been managing all the assets on our many community accounts, which up until January was going fantastically well. Since January, and with the end of many important projects, one after another, we lost multiple significant sources of income, with the last two hitting very hard indeed. I'm still working to find a way to return our community economy back to a good, sustainable place.
Regarding official posts about ALIVE, there are really only the original ones that Erik made. Since taking over, I've written the few official update posts that we've published, but honestly all of us have been so busy, both on and off Hive, that I have as yet to publish any new update for the ALIVE token. I've mostly been sharing 'We Are Alive Tribe' updates in my daily posts. In terms of uses, ALIVE is a tipping token, an income token (I made sure to restore its income-token functionality soon after taking over asset management) currently paying out HIVE daily for both liquid and staked ALIVE, and it can be used to promote posts (through burning) on our wearealivetribe.com frontend. I'm always seeking new ways to add greater use and value to ALIVE, and to support our community. ALIVE is backed by the laye-1 and layer-2 assets that I've been growing on our numerous community accounts. The price of ALIVE is lower than I'd like to see it, and lower than it was even a few months ago, though we've turned that around before, so I'm not overly concerned. In any case, I apologize for writing a book in your comment section. It was just easier to explain here, than to try to track down various outdated posts for you to read. 😁🙏💚✨🤙
Thanks for the in depth overview of ALIVE and how it works, exactly what I needed to get my head around what you are doing.
Definitely interested in a collab - an ALIVE/LBI pool could be a niche, but interesting LP. I'll also look at freeing up some funds to build us a little position, likely in your SWAP.HIVE/ALIVE pool to help with your liquidity and build us a position over time.
Keep up the good work, just being Alive still amongst all the shut-down Hive Engine projects is a credit these days. Those of us still around and active need to work together to keep some options alive and growing.
Cheers mate, we will talk soon - but I'm up for a pool and will build a position over time.
Certainly, you're very welcome, and I'm grateful that it was useful.
Excellent, and although ALIVE is not the most well-known layer-2 token, it does have a strong history, and a tenaciously-committed core team. @borniet is in there too, as our coding and backend maestro. That sounds great about you getting into our pool. I've been growing liquidity in your pools on this account, and on 2 community accounts, @aliveandthriving and @heartbeatvault01, which I intend to continue doing.
Thank you for that, my friend, and I very much agree. That's actually what I've been talking about in my posts, and to various Hivers, that those of us that are still here, active, consistent, committed, and dedicated really do need to stick together, support each other, and collaborate in mutually-beneficial ways.
Cheers, brother, and perfect. Because of the end of the @bee.voter BEE-for-HIVE delegation program, which provided most of our weekly HIVE income, our delegation of 20.4k staked BEE will fully recall, so our BEE income will increase notably. Now to accumulate enough for another pool. 😁🙏💚✨🤙
