When I look back at the day we did this show, I remember I was on the verge of canceling it as I had a huge headache and wasn't feeling well at all... Luckily, I didn't do that and we had an awesome 1.5-hour-long show which helped me with my headache... At the end of it, I was feeling much better! The #HHHLive cures people! 😃

Usually, in similar cases like this one, when I don't expect a lot from something, it turns out to be much better than expected! Yes, these shows are freestyle, non-scripted, and anyone from the audience/participants can drop their topic to the show, but this time, people were shy... So, I had to drop that elephant in the middle of the room and we discussed the KE Ration almost the whole show, combined with the talk about Hive Power... As these things are heavily correlated (KE Ratio = Rewards (author+curation)/Stake (HivePower)), it was a good moment to talk about both things...
In the beginning, I shared my opinion about the KE Ratio, and how I don't think it's a black and white thing... We can't judge people ONLY by this metric, especially without knowing the reasons and circumstances behind it... KE Ration is just one of the "metrics" on HIVE, and maybe if it is combined with others, it can send a message about some Hivian, but definitely, not just as "one metric to replace them all"...
The ice-breaker in the show was @godfish, who jumped first on the mic, sharing his views about the KE Ratio... He mentioned the possible reason why certain people power down, and how it is acceptable to use HIVE for living, especially in countries hit by poverty... He also mentioned how many of those accounts depend on upvotes by big curation projects (out of their community, external projects), which led to the discussion about growing the community's stakes!
As we moved a bit into talk about Hive Power, @jza came to the mic sharing his experience with newbies, and their misunderstanding of Hive Power... Because of that, we get an image that newbies don't care about the HP!
Along with people talking on mic, we had a very busy chat channel during the show, as many participants were commenting on things that were said, in written form... It was great to see almost everyone in the show sharing their view about this important topic!
Somehow we dived into the content creation too... @godfish shared the most obvious thing that many forget... You should create content that YOU would like to CONSUME! Simple as that! If even you wouldn't read a post that you write, what's the point?
What's the point of Hive Power? Why should I buy and stake HIVE?, those were the questions that @jza asked in his name, and in the name of people who join HIVE... The answer is probably personal and subjective, but it depends on your ROLE on HIVE and your goals! Are you an investor, a blogger, or something else... Different goals have different approaches to using HP!
@achim03 came later to the show, but he also shared his view about the KE ratio in voice... In his opinion, it is short-sighted and it seems like a metric created to justify the HIVE price drop... and like a witchhunt to blame for bad HIVE performance...
It was great to read the comments from others in the chat, and one of them was @bil.prag's comment where he shared that he likes the 50-50 distribution as you can spend half of your earnings, but, by default, you can keep the rest staked for the long term, the future...
All in all, we had many great views and opinions about the KE Ratio and Hive Power during the show! The most important thing was to accept that we have different views, and to respect other opinions! I hope we succeeded in that, and I hope you will join us in the next #HHHLive shows as we want to hear your opinion, too!
These Special Edition shows are not recorded, so if you want to participate in the live discussion, I would strongly recommend you to join the future shows! This was just a short recap of things we discussed, but the whole discussion was much broader!
We had 18 participants (including myself)... Thanks, @achim03, @antisocialist, @bulkathos, @honeydue, @daddydog, @duskobgd, @godfish, @friendlymoose, @incublus, @jza, @bil.prag, @mayor-001, @melinda010100, @stresskiller, @palomap3, @thekittygirl, and @travoved! Thanks, everyone, for participating!!!
Thank you, guys and girls, once again! As a sign of appreciation, I will send some LEN tokens to all participants of the live show! You can pair them with LENM tokens, add liquidity to the diesel pool, and earn rewards! If you want to learn more about the project behind it, check out the @liotes account or visit the Liotes website... Of course, if you are not interested in it, you can sell tokens on the Hive-Engine market...
To encourage more people to come on the mic, I have sent an additional 100 Ecency POINTS to people who shared their thoughts on the mic with us (this time, we had 4 participants in voice)! So POINTS are going to @stresskiller (he had a good will to join in mic, but he had technical issues), @godfish, @jza, and @achim03!
Special thanks goes to @melinda010100 and @good-karma for providing the space for the event!
Thank you for your time.
