3Speak issues and Discussion, Gambling Apps on Hive, Taxes, etc. .:. Recap of Hive Humpday Hangout SE #09 (Wednesday, October 30, 2024)

I know guys that we are missing the previous two show's recap posts and recordings, but I'm still waiting for 3Speak to sort out their issues... When the upload option is available, I will publish both missing shows, episodes 30 and 31... I have already edited both videos and prepared them for publishing... Also, both descriptions/written posts are ready in drafts, and LEN tokens for participation are already sent too! I'm sorry that you have to wait so long for recordings, but they are worth waiting as both shows were amazing! You don't want to miss them... :)

In the meantime, we had the third show, but this one is one of the "Special Edition" series, and that means that it was not recorded on purpose! In these shows, there is no script or "pre-arranged" topic for the show as participants come up with them live, in the show... We had no idea what would be the topic for this one, but in the end, we had a few of them and we had a great discussion with different views and opinions... Exactly as we like it!

At the beginning of the show, as I mentioned 3Speak issues, we had a discussion about it... @jza was talking about onboarding people in Cuba to 3Speak as they were looking for some alternatives to YouTube and other mainstream platforms... The main issue is the high minimum payment amount that many creators never reach... By using 3Speak, that can be avoided... I was expecting that taking out money from crypto is a problem in Cuba, but to my surprise, @jza explained that it isn't...

We went back to the 3Speak discussion and their current business model... Whether it is sustainable or not, and in those moments @felixxx joined the discussion too, comparing 3Speak with YouTube, or with other similar platforms on HIVE... @duskobgd threw in the idea about the subscription model as one of the monetary solutions for 3Speak, so we talked a bit about that too...

After the "swiss-knife" view of HIVE that @felixxx explained, somehow, we dived into the huge discussion about betting and gambling websites on HIVE... Could they work and why we don't have more of them? Here we got another Hivian joining the discussion, as @quekery shared his views about it... Also, he mentioned a couple of existing betting websites on HIVE...

Closer to the end of the show, the discussion led to the talk about taxes around the globe, firstly in Germany, but also in other countries... Does anyone know how crypto should be taxed, and in the end, why would it be? 🙂 For the end, we were left the open question by @felixxx:

"Why do we pay taxes if they are printing the money whenever there is a need to do it?"

We had 13 people in the show (including myself), some of them came for just a few minutes, while the majority were there the whole show! I would like to thank, @bulkathos, @duskobgd, @felixxx, @foxkoit, @jza, @melinda010100, @palomap3, @quekery, @sacra97, @sahi1, @travoved, and shahriar! Thanks everyone for participating!!!

Thank you, guys and girls, once again! As a sign of appreciation, I will send some LEN tokens to all participants of the live show! You can pair them with LENM tokens, add liquidity to the diesel pool, and earn rewards! If you want to learn more about the project behind it, check out the @liotes account or visit the Liotes website... Of course, if you are not interested in it, you can sell tokens on the Hive-Engine market...

To encourage more people to come on the mic, I have sent an additional 100 Ecency POINTS to people who shared their thoughts in voice with us (this time we had 3 participants in voice)! So POINTS are going to @jza, @felixxx, and @quekery!

Special thanks goes to @melinda010100 and @good-karma for providing the space for the event!
