Hello everyone! Are you prepared for another #HPUD? It is in less than 24 hours!

Back in this post, I have expressed my opinion about current prices, Hive inflation and DHF payments proposals' impact on the price of Hive. And I can say that I am happy some people changed their proposals. I know, it's not going to solve everything, but it demonstrates how a community-driven blockchain should work. For me, it was mostly what I desired.

I have also (after that post) learned lots from everyone's comments. And in my informed opinion now, I can say that I definitely believe the current prices would not necessarily go nuts (up) with zero spending from the DHF, but depending on how long that process would be in effect, it would create a little pressure for the prices to go up for sure.

But, on the other hand, the proposals would probably stop most of the activities. And that would probably have more drastic consequences long-term. I know, I know... It's still a lot of printing... but then we approach a price that starts attracting investment. And I think that it's what I am starting to see. Because of AI or not.

The point should instead be... "are the proposals you are voting, bringing money or investment into Hive?" - and if not, then that's the part that has to change.

There is also another benefit (with low prices) that I never considered until a few weeks ago. Which is... curation and author rewards on posts/comments. Why? With low prices, the minimum prices for HIVE payouts are greatly reduced, and that makes curation especially hard at low prices because the amount of HP you need to curate effectively is a lot more! Hence, people either need to acquire more HP in order to keep curating, or their APR on curation goes away!

In short, if you want to be a part of this, keep powering up HIVE. Lower prices will either filter some people or pause them until prices are good again. But back then, everyone that has been working on their stake it will have made a huge difference. Obviously, this has to be a temporary "problem" because if the prices become too low permanently, it can prompt exchanges to drop HIVE, and that will hurt us a bit.

I think we will survive this period. Especially when seeing HBD Stabiliser working so well, it shows me that the investors on HBD APR will probably double down once prices go up. This, of course, is my own analysis. I still don't enjoy dissolving HIVE price with inflation, but given I am prepared to play the "forever" game, I am fine with that if that brings some other advantages.

That's my view.

And while these prices keep like this, I will probably do it every month at least. The target is to power up at least 1k HIVE every month. And tomorrow I will do it!

Don't worry, I will top up for the 1k minimum always!

Not going to be letting go of this opportunity to become a part of a much larger future. As much as it might look decieving the lower prices and the mega illusion via inflation. Don't be fooled... the chain is actually getting "more alive!" than you may think.

This is another big, huge phase that people in crypto understand, and if you are smart enough, you can scoop really big outcomes out of it. Yes, it does block a few things because of price, but if we have the right people around, this will be a phoenix state reborn.

I also have to remind everyone to vote for witnesses. AND PROPOSALS! On the Discord Witnesses TownHall, I got the impression that people still don't want to make that like almost a priority 2 on the participation on this chain (being priority 1, security of your keys).

👉 A 1, 2, 3 exercise for you!

1. Vote for Witnesses (you should know which one I am...) - if you don't know how to check, please ask, as I need to know if people know how to search for these things (not just because of myself, but for ANY witness).
2. Vote for at least ONE Proposal you think will bring value to Hive! (even if that's the return proposal)
3. Change your recovery account to someone you trust! In real life! Or mention you have it to the right one.

Comment below about the actions you have taken. I will verify and curate those actions!

Especially, but not limited to, the @peakd recently showcased some amazing updates! The MOST AMAZING ONE for me is the subscription one!

Try on this post if you want, and every time anyone comments on this post, you will be notified. It's probably the most valuable addition I have ever wanted for a long time and never realised! You can "unsubscribe" at any time (aka if it becomes too noisy for you).

Another feature that I don't know how recent is... is this one from @ecency...

This kind of information is crucial from the fron't ends for you to adjust the way you interact with your crowd. In case it matters to you, of course. For me, it matters because sometimes I want to be more effective.

On the AI front, there has been an explosion of news... and I am seeing SOOOooo many more people creating things that interact with Hive. Including myself... that was, trying to play with a few projects, but then others are just SO MUCH faster than me. And I actually prefer to test and curate, rather than create/develop. So, I will play my part when up to my standard! Nothing wrong with that.

This is Replit, and you can (if you want) use it for free... note it has usage limitations but can achieve quite a lot of stuff...

I am not sure if I am going to publish any of the above, because there are just TOO MANY people now doing things, and I think my place is better off curating things than creating. I am focusing on how to more effectively bring things to the surface, so they are discoverable by others than anything else. I think that's probably one of the things I can help with for free (for now), so I will try to sort out these kinds of marketing for developments I really enjoy!

For example, @vaipraonde developed this super cool Matrix Hive transactions stream viewer... that I absolutely adore! You can check the open source code here.

Or for the core geeks! The ASCII mode, which I absolutely love.

Here is a video of it working... https://peakd.com/hive-181335/@forkyishere/e01252e9

▶️ Watch on 3Speak

Another example is the recent work from @beggars, which went completely all over the place once I shared it... 🫠

It all started on this post here... but then once you show off things, they get to another level. Thanks to everyone interested in helping, by the way. Special thanks to @katerinaramm for all the support and excitement.

To everyone, play with moderation, please!

And by the way, you can also now access it via Peakd here: https://peakd.com/snaps/snaps/newest/hivepredict

I have also played with @rafiki on the inLeo community and created an AI "reimagine" image of myself... You need Premium in order to do this.

There are a lot of other things I haven't been able to explore on the Leo side of things. But I will over time...

Then, last (on this topic), I reserved my latest efforts on trying to do something I really enjoy, on the @threespeak arena. The "world of playing" (aka being far away from everyone) with the encoder has kept me busy trying to help however I can... and given I am very far away from most people, this kind of help usually comes with its perks. Aka problems :D which I love to troubleshoot and help with if I can...

These results are NOT because of me, but instead because of how decentralised development/testing works, and... IT'S JUST GETTING BETTER!

If you want to play and try to help with this, have a look at https://github.com/Mantequilla-Soft/3speakencoder

Oh boy, I have been all over the place again... so I am going to just mention the new findings... that I have been participating... and I know LOTS is incoming! Not from me...

But existing ones keep here... keep showing some love to them if you can.

Right... so again, from @beggars, the first game that got my attention was the https://hive-ships.com one... You might have seen me playing with @meno, for example... and it went quite nicely. A few bumps, but after @beggars quickly resolved them, we did a nice run where I was able to destroy all ships from @meno.

https://x.com/forkyishere/status/2025760590464217298

Then, a few days later (totally unrelated), I was commenting on a post from @coldbeetrootsoup, thinking this was the same game, and because they had invited me to play a game, I was all up for it, but then discovered this was in fact ANOTHER game!

You can play it here: https://hive.coldbeetrootsoup.com

And I have managed to win this one too... maybe I should do this by profession? LOL

https://x.com/forkyishere/status/2026973963075903638

In a nutshell, both games seem the same, but they have slightly different rules. Play and find out which one you like most. I am happy to be invited to any game.

Is this the preface of more games arriving at Hive? I think yes! The AI tools/agents are really making it super easy, and wherever you search for information on an AI tool, Hive will be known there!

Just try it... You will learn and enjoy how surprisingly easy it can become.

Damn... this was a very long one... I have warned you!

The storm is not yet over, but we keep doing tons of things! I will surely keep exploring and teaching.

I would be delving through my new API node, but I think it needs more work... even if I can enjoy now speedy transactions from New Zealand. You are welcome to use it if you wish.

Thanks for reading (don't forget the governance tasks above)
