Making money is important. You can't live without money.
What’s your opinion about the measures of our new normal?
Our leaders imposed some measures that reduce our liberties so, they have the burden of proof, the responsibility to offer us the proof for their measures. Without proof 1 theory is just 1 speculation.
# What's the proof?

Nothing stopped our leaders to reduce our freedom with zero proof so far, so what's gonna stop them to continue reducing our freedom?

i don't believe making money is enough. In vain you make money, as long as you live in a **zero** freedom world.

What do you think?

Would there ever be a day where the price of Token Creation and tribe maintenance be raised? Say to create a token it is 1000 BEE..

This is the answer to a question I was asking over on Hive What -- but hey, I have no problem working with Hive Engine when the time comes for me!   

I am a massive creator here on Hive, and I plan on flipping a great deal of it into books and Amazon and such ... but they have a rule that restricts what can be sold elsewhere ... blah, blah, blah ... but it would be nice to have an online bookstore that I can move work into BEFORE and AFTER dealing with their restrictions, and it would be wonderful to accept Hive for whole collections of work that are still good but paid out in terms of the seven-day rule on the chain -- later readers would have a chance to get caught up and get more content as well instead of going back into my profile.

I also produce a great deal of music and an increasing amount of video content, and it would be lovely to have collections of that for sale in Hive as well.

Is this something that can be done -- does this sound doable?

Hmm, going to save this for later, a little buy now. I was just thinking today it would be cool to give tokens for people interacting with my posts and then if they collect enough coins they could claim an art commission. I figured I could maybe achieve this with NFT's in the future if they get implemented (or is this supposed to be the NTF? sorry I'm still learning) :D

I am too stupid to get the total cost down so dumming it down to this:
100 BEE burn to create token
1000 BEE burn to enable staking
1000 BEE burn to enable automatic distribution
1000 BEE burn to create website using token
5000 BEE staked or $50/month for host service.

Did I get this right? A little confused when first 100 BEE gets burned to make token not clear if the others are also burn rates? 8100 BEE in all or 3100 BEE and $50/month. This all sounds really cool. Thanks for the work you put into creating HIve-Engine.

100 BEE to enable staking.

I believe this is a typo.

Basically like ERC 20 in ETH. 

There's an experimental trend of doing this sort of work with ERC 20s in ETH. @Skeenee does this with $SKULL on opensea. 

https://opensea.io/assets/skeenee-crypto

using Tryroll as an exchange.

I was thinking about doing something similar with a combination of Uniswap and Colony.io. 

http://alienhoney.org

Colonies have interesting quest based community training / project execution tools and function as guild banks with ERC 20 Reputation tokens that are built into their roadmap with increasing capacities down the line. 


$HONEY is already associated with that colony, and minting can be controlled there in exchange for ETH Gas. I would need to take that $HONEY and Pool some ETH and head over to Uniswap, and then I could establish a swap pair. 

I could also reward people for doing tasks / training modules on Colony with $HONEY, which would enable them to go buy NFTs on Opensea.io

Skeenee has used this approach for promotions. 

.:. 

The real interesting question is how effective something like this strategy is with a collective -- 

Such as the Alien Art Hive community. 

.:. 

In my mind, what HIVE can do, that ETH cannot do, is build and reward communities for unique engagement. 

As an artist, I can earn more money working with ETH and USD than working with HIVE, because the HIVE art market doesn't exist in the same way as it does in those other economies. 

I look forward to learning / trying out the HIVE NFTs, but I think the Splinterlands / game related art assets are going to be a lot stronger than just art collectables. 

I think utility / function of the NFTs might be an edge that HIVE can take advantage of. 

Sort of like Memes for posts, but unique ones. 
Or Unique Badges or profile pictures -- that are correlated to 1/1 rare NFTs. 

That would be excellent for HIVE artists. 

Like, everyone can put a doge meme.

But, if there were a way to share / show off exclusive memes / art / badges / profile pictures as a display component of NFTs, then that would incentivize people to buy and show off, or commission, or little clubs to form around who has what insignia, 

etc. 

I suppose another analog to development in the ETH space is private access in the form of NFT ownership. 

So, if you own a certain NFT, you can gain access to a certain tribe / community. 

Cheers Aggroed.
