The News
We just had another #HPUD that looks like it was a good one. Increasing HP limits the supply of $HIVE and helps to spread the voting power. I do tend to save some up as I like the @hivebuzz badges. I think I have a full set plus some of the bonus ones.

$HIVE has been going gradually upwards lately. I hope that can continue, but it is always helped by people being active and talking about Hive.

The big news today was the details of the next @hivefest from @rolandp. This will be in Kuala Lumpur in October. I am not sure if I will make it this time as I have various other trips this year, but it will be great for those around Asia. I can recommend attending as you will have a great time. I have been to four previous events plus the virtual ones.
Something nearer to me is Hive Creator Days in Austria. It looks like lots of people are there and I may look at going to a future one. Any time that Hivers get together cool things will happen.
I was honoured to be asked to be part of a discussion about music on Hive. This was hosted by @buttcoins and @shadowspub with fellow guests @ravenmus1c and @meno. We had a great chat about what Hive can do for musicians. We already have lots here, including some professionals, and I think it has a lot to offer. There is a low barrier to entry and earning so those musicians who struggle to earn elsewhere can create something with their fans. If we want this to grow then we need to support the people who could help it happen.
Friday Follows
As I was talking about music I will feature some other people who I think you should check out.
- @thetroublenotes tour around the world making people dance. I have seen them live and can recommend them.
- @breakoutthecrazy are a great pop duo from New York.
- What is it with Italian drummers? We have @ale.dri and @giampaolo19 sharing their beats on Hive.
- @soundlegion is a longstanding Hiver who has been sharing her music with us.
- @nahupuku is a drummer and educator in Venezuela.
- @alex-rourke runs a studio in Guatemala.
There have been lots more who have not been back to Hive in a while. Perhaps we can reach out to some of them.
The End
There is always far more happening on Hive than I can follow, so I like to see others sharing what they find. Let others know who is worth following as we do not have algorithms to do this.
I shall do a new #BritList over the weekend, but I will be quite busy and so it may be late. I am on Hive for fun and so do not commit to strict schedules.
Hive five!
