Considering crypto and NFTs. And don't forget to remember....

Catch-up reminder 9 August 2021.jpg

Hello, everyone!

We thought it was time for a little catch-up on what's been going on in our community. Observant folk may have noticed that we've tweaked our community rules. The reasons, briefly:

There were suggestions that we were youthist ageist...ahem... Seriously, though -

  • freedom of association on the blockchain means anybody can subscribe to the community; and
  • it is really difficult to enforce verify subscribers' ages. Anyway, what self-respecting person asks a person's age? Ask me, and I'll give you my dad's stock answer:

I'm as old as my tongue and a little older than my teeth.

However

We are still committed to a community that showcases selected silver threads, summarised below:

  • a keenness to learn more about blockchain and crypto
  • life experiences
  • musings and memories of lives lived
  • planning for (and doing) life beyond formal work

The detail is on the community page and we mention it here because it is these four themes that guide the selection of posts that we showcase and recommend for curation.

We have chosen three posts, this week, and they all speak directly to the first point: crypto and blockchain.

1. Welcome

We begin by welcoming a "young" Hivean - less than a month old. Before introducing herself, @mjvdc shares a little of her life journey with a physical impairment that, for a nineteen-year old, was lifechanging. This beautiful woman found this community and felt at home, so to her, a special blockchain and Silver Bloggers' welcome.

2. NFTs - Non Fu..Wh-a-a-a-t? Tokens

NFTs, they're saying, are the next best thing. My response?

Well, @antikus has come to the rescue. He's offered to do a series on NFTs and his first explainer is here. I don't think I'm alone in my stupidity saying that I need more than just one explainer, so I'm hoping that he and other Silver Bloggers (@travelwritemoney?) will add to the series.

3. Happy Hive Birthday

I was startled to discover that someone I thought had been on the blockchain fore-e-ever, and certainly longer than me, because @justclickindiva does such amazing things in and around the hive, is actually a jongbok (young buck). Well, actually, that's not true, either, she's a young dolphin! Her Hive journey is a study in doing things she enjoys and being an active member of the Hive community.

Last but not least, a reminder about this week's Blog of the Week

More details are here, but just in case you've forgotten, the theme for the week ending 9 August is -

Memories of things dear to the heart

Small print

This is not about things, exactly. It's about what things have or hold memories for us. It could be a photograph, piece of jewelry, a special place we visit...just anything that well jogs the memory.

But that's not all -

Bonus prizes

Because @lizelle is of the opinion that #bow entries and winners deserve greater rewards, from time to time she will add to the prize pool. This week, she's sponsoring and additional 20 Hive that will be distributed as follows -

  • 10 Hive to the winner
  • 5 Hive each to the 2 runners up.

Prizes will be sent directly to the winners' wallets.

Remember to let your imagination go, and have fun!

Would you like to sponsor a bonus prize?

If you would like to sponsor bonus prizes at any time, please comment below or contact @lizelle or @fionasfavourites directly.

That's all for now, and we look forward to seeing those entries! Remember to post them in the community, use the #bow and #silverbloggers and leave the link in a comment here.
