Hi guys, Sid here. Welcome to the newsletter. I hope and wish you are doing great. This has been one of the most entertaining week on Hive. Check out the #1 update to know why.
Apart from this, we also have rock-solid momentum and announcements. Let us quickly explore all the 13 bite-sized updates:
#1: Biggest drama on Hive: In fact, the week-long drama comes to an end as crypto influencer says “Bye Hive.” If you haven’t been following this, here’s what happened:
- Influencer Cryptofinally was downvoted by the Hive whale(s)
- She then voiced her opinion through a series of post.
- This lead to a series of verbal fights.
- The fight was also carried over on Twitter.
#2: HardFork 24 Update: Estimated launch is ~30 days. This also takes into account 3 additional weeks — reserved for exchanges to setup the nodes. [Details]
#3: On CoinTelegraph: If you would like to read a simple yet detailed article on NFT, check out this article co-written by Splinterlands CEO.
#4: Blocktrades wrote an article on Hive’s future. The bottomline is:

#12: Speaking of sharing with your friend, you can also invite anyone on Hive without phone verification. How? By giving them a free VIP ticket. It also looks pretty cool.
#13: Tweets of the week: In fact, we have three. One is a Twitter thread discussing Hive in detail for new users. The other one takes a stab at the worldwide censorship. And finally, photo of Hive London meetup.
Tip of this week:
“Sid, how long will I live?” — In fact, you can now discover your time on earth using data. Try Population.io. It estimates your longevity based on your location. (YES — we won’t live forever).
And with this thought, we end this week’s newsletter. Hope you enjoyed reading as much as I enjoyed writing it. Wish you a fantastic Sunday.
See you next week! 🙏
Cheers,
