:seedling: Hi everybody! :wave:

I go by Blazingthirdeye in most places.

On Discord I am David (please DYOR…)#4116

I am a young-ish medically-retired pilot. Born and raised in Canada. I really enjoy outdoor sports like :skier: :woman_climbing: but a car crash messed me up enough to stop flying and sports. Over the last couple years I learned about crypto. First when managing my meager investments. The high yields were appealing but the freedom, security and strength of the new blockchain networks blew my mind.! :exploding_head: I believed right away they would change the world significantly. I dropped just about everything else to focus on cryptoeconomics.

When I read the whitepaper for Bitcoin I got very excited. The empowerment of the population in an almost unstoppable roll-out is thrilling to think about and even more to participate in! I have always enjoyed learning about alternative societies, lived in an eco-village for a year, and since young I have disliked capitalism due to its glaring defects and race-to-the-bottom destruction of the planet in the name of corporate greed. We don’t need to accept the paradigm. New tech is making our societies more equitable and fair for everyone. Redistributing wealth to the many. I love it. We can build the world we wish to live in.

I briefly got swept up in the tsunami of greed. It didn’t take long before I realized chasing five digit APYs left me feeling hollow inside. I started looking for projects aligned with my values and found myself involved in the early stages of creating a UBI project. I offered to write copy for the project and was accepted. The project was changing lives and we were forming a DAO when it fell apart. This lead me to DaoHaus and a shift in focus to human coordination.

Adrift with no project I came by Metagame,Sourcecred and DaoHaus. Then I ended up here somehow. I already like the sense of community, and the explicit guidelines and rules designed to maintain a civilized atmosphere. I am getting that excited feeling. I now understand some of the difference between the Binance Smart Chain and other networks. I want to write for 1Hive. And other stuff!

I’m not a programmer but I am learning. With my mobility reduced by some crushed nerves plus covid I found new freedom and new frontiers through my computer. Until my mad-hacker skills develop I will assist the community however I can.

Need some research and analysis written up? Advertising or public relations article needed? Get in touch. I am here to help. I am all-in with this improve the world bizz. Nothing could excite me more. And if we can gain some income on the way…even better!

Thanks for the opportunity 1Hive :pray:

I look forward to meeting many of you and getting to know each other better.

Thank you for sharing your experience with UBI - that’s one of the things that I’m really excited about the potential for much moreso than developing a currency that’s just used to consolidate wealth.

hi @Blazingthirdeye
Congratulations on this perseverance and redoubled effort
We are glad to meet you in this community - I hope we can have good cooperation to promote 1hive and #honey
:honeybee: :pray: :clap: :+1:

Hey there! :honeybee:

I’m a business informatics student from Berlin who just got into the world of crypto. I’m really interested in the concept of DAOs. I want to learn from a nice community where I can add value and personally grow. Hopefully 1Hive is the place where I can realise my aims!

@Conundrum Welcome, and greetings, everyone who wants to learn, contribute or grow in 1hive can do so!

You just have to make an effort, learn and give your best!

I invite you to be part of the discord in case you are not there

1hive is a learning paradise! :writing_hand:

Thanks for welcoming me :slight_smile:

I’m on discord already with the nickname: Samu

I don’t know if here is the right place to ask questions but apparently I only can access the welcome channel. What do I need to do to have access to other channels like on-boarding?

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

Taking the opportunity to step up and say hi to everyone. A short intro on my side :smiley:

  • Exploring the web3 with the idea of commons & new forms of coordination is something I care about. That’s how I found out about 1Hive. I am onboard with AGAVE as well.

  • Based in the South of France.

  • I am a home dad for over a year now. I used to work in the renewable energy as a biz dev & doing some project finance as well.

  • I am a from-time-to-time contributor at SourceCred and Metagame. I enjoyed making a bot that gives your cred score as well as some links to explore the project. Also I drafted a didactic illustration on how your cred score are computed based on a post in discourse (here for any interest)

Last but not least I am part of Mana vox that provides an index to benchmark worst in class corporations based on their negative impact on forests.

Well I suggest creating some 1hive related NFTs. We always appreciate new art.
And of course, welcome to this great community.

Nice to meet you Sir! I am so impressed with the big diverse ecosystem here. May we go forth and stir up some honey for everyone.

Welcome @Conundrum…I just arrived myself. I am sure your business informatics experience will come in handy around here.

@benoxmo & @c0nvexo good to have you here too.

Hello.
Your efforts and help are very useful for this community and increase its growth, and we are sure that no effort will be ineffective. We are happy in this community and we have taken steps to expand it. Thank you.

Hello, my name is Hagz48. My friend Zer8 sent me here. I am involved with the UMA proticol community. I think you guys have a pretty cool thing going here. Please let me know if I can do anything to help. Not a Dev guy, just an ideas/help get things done guy. I can write proposals and have done so over at UMA. I can get around github, just not a pro. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you guys.

Hi Hagz48. Welcome to 1hive! I am also a non-dev but get things done guy. It seems like there are many many projects at 1hive that will benefit from your help. Cheers and I look forward to hanging with you. btw every Friday at 6 UTC is a voice community call in the Discord Cafe Voice Channel. Great chance to get to know the community in a laid back way.:wave:

Alright, well thank you very much Blazingthirdeye,I will look forward to it.

Hey everyone, I’m codec and on the discord server, I’m codec#4477.
I was introduced to 1hive by the faucet actually and now looking at all the things that are going on feel a lot more interested in the project.
I am a data scientist by profession and am really interested in crypto. I also develop a lot of stuff in my free time and like to learn and grow. Looking forward to have an amazing time here.
