Our Pick - Reading Suggestions for January 17th

The OurPick encouragement program is the part of the @Liotes ecosystem where quality posts are curated and authors are encouraged to continue with the content creation adding value to specific communities, and Hive in general...

Created in Canva.com

Occasionally, we will pick a couple of awesome posts that we find interesting and will suggest them for your further reading... We hope that it will help authors as an additional promotion... We support creators with our upvotes in Hive, but also in other tribe tokens! These Hive-Engine tribes give additional value to the whole ecosystem and help authors and curators to follow their niches and dreams...

Stop or I Will Shoot Ya (SMAsh 252) by @ifarmgirl

Hahahaha... That's a funny and interesting short story! 😃
You did a great job catching that awesome "cape-gun" shadow... 😂

It's Surprising How Little Competition Hive Has by @bitcoinflood

It is extremely hard to create a "sustainable blogging platform" that does something similar to HIVE... There were hundreds of attempts before the "crypto era", and we saw some during it, too... Having no competition in the field proves this assumption...
IMO, HIVE would have similar problems if we wouldn't have additional dApps built on it like games or tribes... Yes, development in that field is going slowly, but at least we are going forward... I'm happy to see that there are other developers coming in and creating apps for HIVE! The Splinterlands team is awesome, but we need more teams like theirs...

Greedflation and the cost of groceries by @phoenixwren

Greedflation is the right word. I can't believe how much that all costs now. I was shopping on Saturday for just a few things and nearly fell over some of the prices of things.

What do you think about soul bound monsters? by @belemo

I'm not sure that the DEC-B and the soulbound cards will be directly linked. Since the amount of DEC-B is limited in quantity and won't be tradable, I don't think this will be the case. In general however I don't think it's a good idea to have these soulbound reward cards. As you say, it goes against the concept of the game. Great post!

If you want to help in project growth, you can delegate HivePower to the @liotes.voter account that upvotes quality posts on Hive. All delegators receive daily returns paid in LEN tokens for their support! Current APR is around 10.50%, which is more than you can earn by individual curation!

You can also use these predefined links to delegate HP using Hivesigner:

50 HP	100 HP	500 HP	1000 HP

Thanks to donation of @melinda010100 and @good-karma, we will reward authors with additional 25 POINTS!
