Follow Friday - New CUB in the den

Got that Friday feeling? It is the end of the working week for many of us and also when I do #followfriday most weeks. It is my opportunity to share some thoughts on what has been happening around #hive and to suggest some people to check out.

This week saw $Hive stay relatively high. Mind you, I just looked and there is a lot of red on @coingecko. I keep hoping we can get enough buzz going about Hive (need more bee analogies) to get more people interested in investing and getting involved.

The big news this week was @leofinance launching CUB. A lot of this financial stuff goes over my head and there is a lot of use of buzzwords that may not mean much to many of us, but it seems to have people excited.

I saw that I had been allocated some CUB on Hive Engine. I had some help from @bozz and @ervin-lemark to work out what to do with it. You have to create an appropriate wallet and convert the tokens here as they will expire in a few days. Then you can stake them here to earn something. I have made 0.033 CUB in just a few hours via this 'den'. The APR seems crazy, but I will take what I can get. Ervin helped me out with some BNB as you need that to pay for transactions. I assume we can buy it somewhere.

I recommend reading the document and to check out what people are posting about it. There ought to be a checklist of what you need to do and a glossary of what the various terms mean.

So to the 'meat' of #followfriday. I have not seen anyone else do these posts lately. If you do then let me know so I can vote and share them.

• @amy-explores is an British urban explorer brought here by @slobberchops. It can be tough for new people to get into how Hive works and a lot of work for their 'mentors'. We should do what we can to help the newbies as they may struggle and make some mistakes.
• @seabass-n-broc is also new hear. He is a fellow guitarist.
• @the-bitcoin-dood is the one responsible for me being here, so he deserves a follow, especially if you like cryptocurrency news. He is also into his music.
• @edb has a weight loss challenge contest that could win you some $Hive. Can you guess how much he will lose this month?
• @shawnlauzon warns us to looks out for phishing scams. It seems a lot of accounts have been compromised to send out junk comments. Be careful with your keys!

I am always on the look-out for people to add to the Brit List, so let me know of any you find.

Hive five!
