CBRS Podcast 31: Friendship, Hive Updates, and Cold Beetroot Soup!

12 days ago (Edited)

Hello Hive ❤️

We tried uploading our video to 3Speak, but the nodes are down due to a major storm. We can’t wait any longer and need to publish this article ASAP. If you’d like to watch the podcast, you can view it on YouTube.

Hey there, #Hive community and podcast fans! Welcome to CBRS Podcast #31. We had a blast this week, diving into all Hive things, cracking jokes, and even planning a delicious cultural festival. Here’s a rundown of what we talked about, filled with laughs, updates, and some exciting ideas for the Hive blockchain. Let’s get started!

Kicking Off with Laughter and Friendship

We kicked off #Podcast #31 with our usual energy, joking about how we’re “rolling out podcasts every week like it’s Christmas!” The weather was chilly but dry—perfect for us in the Netherlands, where it can feel like “one day in Holland, next day in Poland” (a nod to those sneaky Dutch bicycles!).

One of our favorite moments was a cheesy but heartfelt joke about the most valuable “ship” in the world. Spoiler: it’s not a gold or diamond ship—it’s friendship! We laughed about how friends help each other out, like when one of us broke a glass and the community jumped in to fix it. It’s all about that Hive spirit of supporting one another.

Vibes on Da Place: Let’s Get Those Votes!

We jumped into the latest updates on The Dapp List, a platform where Hive projects compete for visibility. Last week, we rallied behind the #Vibes community, which supports musicians on Hive. So far, Vibes has 92 votes—not bad, but we’re a bit concerned. We usualy see so many pol votes when it comes to voting on the winner, sometimes even 400 pol votes. Where is everyone?

We called out to the Hive musicians who’ve benefited from Vibes’ support: come on, folks, return the love! Voting for Vibes on #TheDappList is a small way to say thanks, and guess what? You get rewarded for it too. We also suggested that singers asking for song votes should encourage their supporters to vote for Vibes. It’s a win-win to boost Hive’s visibility and attract new users. Let’s make those votes count!

Next week, we’re shifting gears to support @threespeak, a big deal for Hive’s video creators. #3Speak is making waves, with recent Twitter Spaces chats highlighting their work (shoutout to @starkerz for spilling the tea!). We reminded everyone to chill if they spot bugs—3Speak is cooking something behind the scenes, and they’ll announce updates when they’re ready. Stay tuned for the 3Speak post on Friday.

Hive-Echo Week 17: Sharing Hive on Web2

Next up, we dove into @Hive-Echo Week 17, the initiative to promote Hive on Web2 platforms like X, Instagram, and YouTube. We’re all about spreading the word, but we need your help to do it right.

We noticed some folks are posting outdated or unclear statistics when sharing their Web2 posts. To make curation easier, we’re planning a video tutorial to show exactly how to present stats from X, Instagram, and YouTube—whether you’re using a phone or laptop, verified account or not. We’ll cover how to switch to a business profile for better insights and make it super simple. Our goal? A universal way to share stats so everyone’s on the same page, and no one’s left out of the reward pool.

We also announced the winners of Hive-Echo Week 16: @offia66 and @ibbtammy, each snagging 25 HIVE! Big congrats! A special shoutout went to @finpulse, who posted about Hive’s insane 56.25% APR on Binance, earning 3,500 views after Hive reposted it. That’s the power of Hive-Echo—small posts can go big! We encouraged everyone to get creative, maybe using AI-generated images like @lordbutterfly, to make Hive stand out.

GOSH: Boosting Hive with GoShare

We got super excited about GOSH (short for GoShare), a revived project to amplify important Hive-related posts on Web2. Here’s how it works: post a snap on PeakD in Hive Posh Communty with the hashtag #Gosh, followed by a link to a Web2 post you want to boost (like on X, BlueSky, or Reddit). Others can like, repost, and comment on that link, then share a screenshot on your snap as proof. The #Posh team curates these snaps and rewards the best ones.

For example, @acidyo shared a snap with a #Gosh tag and a link to an X post. By engaging with it and posting proof, you could earn rewards. It’s a simple but effective way to get more eyes on Hive.

Splinterlands Pack Opening and MarkyMark’s Challenge

We relived the thrill of our recent @Splinterlands pack opening, where we scored a rare black foil card! It was pure excitement—no acting needed. Since the card isn’t super useful for high-level gameplay or our current land setup, we decided to sell it and buy more packs for another opening. Fingers crossed for more epic pulls!

We also discussed a fascinating article by @themarkymark, who asked if it’s possible to burn $1,000 worth of HIVE on a single post. It’s a tough one! Posts with over 1,500 upvotes like MarkyMark’s hit a weird restriction where you can’t upvote anymore, and some votes even get kicked out. Is it a bug or intentional? We’re stumped but curious—drop a comment if you know what’s up!

Nifty’s HBD Payment and Crypto Regulations

We gave a nod to @l337m45732 Nifty, who paid for food at "Steak ‘n Shake" with HBD via #Bitcoin Lightning, just like we did at a café in The Hague. It’s awesome to see Hive’s stablecoin in action! However, we noted that new crypto regulations are coming in May 2025, starting with Lithuania’s government. This could impact platforms like Binance, especially in stricter EU countries. We’re keeping an eye on how this unfolds.

Cold Beetroot Soup Festival: May 31st

Get ready for the Cold Beetroot Soup #Festival on May 31st! Also called the Pink Soup Festival, it’s a big deal in Lithuania and Latvia, celebrating this refreshing summer dish. We’re working with the Lithuanian Embassy to host a small party in the Netherlands for 50 people, complete with quizzes, banners, and prizes. We’ll share videos from both the Dutch event and the massive festival in Vilnius.

More info about the Pink Soup Fest: https://www.govilnius.lt/pink-soup-fest

We invited everyone to join the fun and make cold beetroot soup, snap a pic or video, and tag us on Hive with #ColdBeetrootSoup. Add your own twist, like Spanish shrimp or German sausage, to make it unique. We’ll 100% upvote your posts! Check our videos or Google for recipes, and let’s celebrate this cultural gem together.

Canva on Hive and Community Shoutouts

We’re buzzing about a new Canva-like tool coming to Hive, created by some awesome folks at @hivecreators. Imagine designing posts right on the blockchain—no need for centralized apps! This is another step toward making Hive an #all-in-one ecosystem for creators.

We also gave shoutouts to @desic.creative for a killer @thedistriator infographic and HiveHumpdayHangout #HHHLive for their weekly Wednesday hangouts on the @Ecency Discord. Join them to chat abount anything with a friendly crew!

That’s a wrap for CBRS Podcast #31! We had a blast talking about @Hive-Echo, #GOSH, @Threespeak, @Splinterlands, and the upcoming #ColdBeetrootSoup Festival. Keep voting on #TheDappList, sharing on #Web2, and getting creative with your posts. As we always say, “Be there or be a triangle!” Stay tuned for more Hive adventures, and let’s keep pushing this #blockchain to the moon!

A Wake-Up Call: Accountability and Redemption in the Hive Ecosystem

To those who believe their actions on the Hive blockchain go unnoticed, it’s time to confront the truth. The power you think you wield through downvotes, vote farming, and manipulation is an illusion. True strength lies in doing what’s right, not in exploiting systems for personal gain or silencing others out of fear.

1. The Illusion of Power Through Exploitation

If you’re downvoting critics, running coordinated farms, or hoarding influence to control rewards, ask yourself: What does this say about your character? Manipulating Hive’s reward system doesn’t make you powerful—it exposes vulnerabilities. It shows a reliance on unethical tactics to feel significant in a space that was meant to empower everyone equally.

But here’s the reality: these actions won’t bring lasting satisfaction. At night, when you’re alone with your thoughts, do you truly believe what you’re doing is right? Regret has a way of lingering, and no amount of HIVE tokens can silence the voice inside telling you there’s a better path.

2. The Ripple Effect of Your Actions

Your choices don’t just harm Hive—they affect the people around you. Your online friends may follow along now, but loyalty built on shaky foundations crumbles quickly. And what about your family? Do they understand how much energy you pour into behaviors that ultimately hurt others and yourself?

Every action has consequences, and the deeper you dig, the harder it becomes to climb out. You’re not just harming Hive—you’re pulling those close to you into a cycle of negativity and regret. Is it worth it?

3. Change Before It’s Too Late

The Bilpcoin team isn’t here to attack individuals—we’re here to spark change. We’ve seen the evidence, and we know the impact of manipulative practices. But we also believe in redemption. There’s still time to step back, reflect, and choose a different path.

Ask yourself:

What legacy do you want to leave on Hive?
How will you feel years from now looking back at how you treated others?
Wouldn’t it feel better to contribute positively rather than exploit and divide?

Hive deserves better. So do you.

4. Strength Lies in Doing What’s Right

Real power comes from integrity, not manipulation. Instead of focusing on how many tokens you can farm or how many users you can silence, consider how you can add value to the ecosystem. Create meaningful content, support genuine contributors, and advocate for reforms that benefit everyone—not just a select few.

If you continue down your current path, remember this: you are being watched. Many stay silent, but they see everything. Blockchain data doesn’t lie, and accountability always comes knocking—whether today, tomorrow, or years from now.

5. A Final Plea: Fix What Needs Fixing

It’s never too late to change course. Stop the farming, stop the toxicity, and start contributing to Hive in ways that uplift rather than tear down. If you’re struggling with why you’ve chosen this path, take a moment to reflect. Seek help if needed—there’s no shame in admitting you’ve lost your way.

The Hive community is watching, waiting, and hoping for positive change. Will you rise to the occasion, or will you let regret define your journey? The choice is yours.

From the Bilpcoin Team: We’re committed to helping Hive thrive by exposing the truth and fostering transparency. Let’s work together to build a stronger, fairer ecosystem—one where everyone has a chance to succeed.

What will your next move be?

Addressing the Downvote Issue on Hive: It’s Time for Real Change

Marky Mark Stop the manipulation game Lady Zaza Bpc AI Music

Let’s cut through the noise and address one of the most pressing issues holding Hive back from reaching its full potential: abusive downvotes. The Bipcoin team has consistently exposed the systemic problems that stifle growth on this platform, yet little to no action has been taken. If Hive is to thrive, we must confront these challenges head-on instead of engaging in empty discussions that lead nowhere.

Hive cannot grow if nothing changes. How can new users and smaller creators flourish when they are constantly suppressed by those who exploit the system? Many so-called “whales” contribute nothing meaningful to the ecosystem—instead, they focus solely on farming rewards through manipulative tactics like mass self-voting, spam content, or coordinated downvoting campaigns. These actions discourage genuine participation and erode trust within the community.

Blockchain transactions don’t lie. We’ve seen firsthand the shady methods used to game the system—whether it’s creating alt accounts to amplify votes, orchestrating downvote brigades, or hoarding influence without giving back to the network. Why does this behavior continue unchecked? Talk is cheap. Actions speak louder than words, and until concrete steps are taken to address these abuses, Hive will struggle to move forward.

We have repeatedly presented evidence of these practices, not to divide but to demand accountability. The truth is out there for anyone willing to look at the data. Yet, despite our efforts, the cycle persists. Today, we’re asking again: Can we finally talk about the real issues plaguing Hive? And more importantly, can we take decisive action to protect the integrity of this platform?

Do not let bullies destroy what makes Hive special. Abuse of power through downvotes and manipulation harms everyone—creators, curators, and the community as a whole. It’s time to fight back against these toxic practices and create an environment where all voices can be heard and rewarded fairly.

The Bipcoin team remains committed to exposing the truth and advocating for meaningful change. But we can’t do it alone. Together, let’s push for solutions that ensure Hive becomes a place of opportunity, fairness, and growth—for everyone.

Enough talk. Let’s see action.

Every curation reward from @buildawhale’s bot votes:

Steals from creators.
Centralizes power.
Normalizes abuse.

The blockchain doesn’t forget—your actions are permanently recorded. So, enjoy your scam farm snacks now, because karma always delivers the bill.
