What a fantastic - no - gigantic! week that has been. Just nothing short of amazing what the organizers @lordbutterfly and @roelandp pulled off. And I got the feeling the speaker lineup was one of the best ever as well. Really hard to say which one stood out.. the fantastic ghana borehole movie from @mcsamm and @mynewlife, fabulous and ambitious @missbitcoin-sv, tec heavy @vaultec or the unforgettable music performance from @iamlosi (you should really check out her spotify and youtube videos ), @fondew and all the other professional artists. And for sure not to forget the rally car.. which was piloted around a cart circuit (sic!) by hive`s very own Croatian hive-stig @ssekulji in a breathtaking manner without changing the design of the track on the fly toooo much.. 😂 and Split itself, the cousin and the friendly party people and last but not least that heart warming hive community coming together from all over the world (see you soon kiwis 😂 ). So with a big thank you to all hiveans and reaffirmed trust in hive I very much look forward to see all of you next year again.

I opened 17 packs and while I did not draw any CEO and only two holo foils I actually got the two of the cards I like most. (the Hiveans / Inkeans I already had the pleasure to battle against in real world by paper deck know why.. ;-) )

Even most successful crypto-games have sooner than later the problem that the prices of the in game tokens, which have priorly been sold at lofty highs, tank and crush the token holders. This usually correlates with the maturation of the game and a slowing down or reversal of (new) player numbers or "investors". And of course the similarity to devilish ponzi schemes are obvious: As soon as the inflow of new money stops, the game is over. This article wants to explain why this is and how to create tokenomics that use math and money management formulas to circumvent this problem and help to stabilize the tokenomics and game economy.

This is a post for everyone that had not the privilege to attend this amazing gathering of awesome people. No it is definitely not to make you feel more sorry than you probably already do.. it is to motivate you (anyone FOMO ;-) ) to prepare for the next HiveFest, that as rumors say might happen at a not yet touched strip of the earth (no.. I am not allowed to give more hints because else those beetroot-bouncers of HiveFest7 will come and get me...)

Yes... hotels and flights are not cheap at all.. (even with the hivefest deals) and travelling these days could be kind of hell... but I certainly did not want to miss the first RL meeting with all of you my friends in good old Amsterdam. And so it seems as if I might have bought the very first ticket available... #0001, but unfortunately not #0007... or #0042 though... ;-)

No, this is not the usual talk about motivation, start early saving, clever investing or minimalism.. this piece wants to shed a critical light, a economical picture of what's actually happening if everybody tries do do FIRE...Or better to ask: if everybody is a billionaire, who serves the Champaign?
