Happy Friday everyone! I hope things are good with you. The UK is well into another lockdown, but life must go on and our online life with Hive should not be affected by pandemics. If anything many people will have more time to engage online and this can help when we are lacking face to face contact. Make the most of it.

The HIVE token is holding fairly steady in price, but has dropped a little on the @coingecko rankings. What are all these other coins that people seem to think are worth more? We know Hive as a platform has value to those who engage here. Just need more to know about what it can do, so tell your friends.

The current discussion of alternatives to platforms that can censor you ought to be good for Hive, but I have yet to see if have a major effect. As well as earning we have a lot of freedom here and that should be emphasised. I just hope it can continue to be a fun place to be. Of course bullies and trolls can do what they want, but I believe they are a tiny minority and the community can act to discourage them.

The main sites are doing okay with @peakd on the rise. It has overtaken hive.blog on Alexa. It would be great to see it break the top 20k this year. It is improving all the time.

Here are my suggestions of people to check out for this week. These are based on what I see on my feed as well as suggestions from others. I cannot keep track of all the cool stuff, so let me know who I should include or do your own #followfriday post.

  • @zo3d is a new user from South Africa. Sounds like she is into baking.
  • @iikrypticsii is a young artist recruited by his friend @bozz. I hope to see some of his work soon.
  • @pugdebass is a professional bass player from Nigeria. He plays some great tunes and always seems to be smiling.
  • I have known @dickturpin for quite a while. Like me he is into open source, but we differ on some other topics. He is a funny guy though.
  • @scarlet-rain is the daughter of @katharsisdrill and artistic talent seems to run in the family.

Engagement is crucial for everyone on Hive as it encourages people to stick with it even if they are not making much for now. The value of HIVE should increase if we have more people involved with it in blogging, vlogging, gaming or just curating.

Make your Hive experience fun and you will keep coming back.

Hive five!
