What is the Hive Thrive?

A HIVE discord show that will have a town hall feel to it.
We see a real gap between devs, projects, witnesses, community leaders, and everyday Hive users. There are so many people looking to feel more connected, engaged, and informed—and we want to bridge that gap. This show is about:

✅ Learning about the Hive Blockchain
✅ Sharing what what’s available to use or being worked on
✅ Exploring where Hive is headed (or could be)
✅ Identifying roadblocks—and, more importantly, finding solutions
✅ Fostering constructive and proactive discussions
✅ Providing another space for the community to engage

Meet this weeks guests

We thought for April Fools day we should do something special. So we created a match up. And while the real point will be to learn all things about being a witness. We thought to pump in some of that wrestling energetic. So we will have our MC @bookerman announce our witnesses like the top 20 champions they are.
@arcange - hives #1 voted Witness - Creator of HiveBuzz, HiveSQL, HiveAuth, Engage, Hive.NET, Hive Recovery, Hive Autoclaim, Xfer
We will jump in the ring and see what makes him tick
Next up
@roelandp Hivefest event organiser, @hivewallet.app creator, @whalefountain creator, kitesurfer, (mobile app) developer, hive logo creator and dad.
It’s time to go Face to Face and Toe to Toe with these 2 and figure out exactly what it means to be a Witness.
We are excited to chat with these 2 knowledgeable witnesses and learn the real smack down.
We’ll be diving into:
• Knowing your node guardians
• answer the challenge- witness mechanics, conflicts and compromise
• The Bell has rung- What should we expect from our witnesses
• Feel the Wrath- Justin Sun and other witness war stories
• He who wears the crown addresses the crowd- should HIVE hear from witnesses?
• Meet me in the middle- APR % how its decided, why it matters
• Bring the Pain- Bear markets, paying the bills, serving the chain
• Where legends are made- As Hive battles for recognition, who wields the spear?

This isn’t just another talk show—it’s modeled after a town hall for the Hive community. Whether you’re a dev, a content creator, a witness, or just someone who wants to learn and be more engaged, this is your space.
We field questions from the chat during the interview, but the after show it opens up and we keep the convo going!
So mark your calendars, join the discussion, and let’s build the Hive we want to see!

🚀 See you Tuesday, April 1st @ 6 PM UTC!

Sneak Peak at Next Week
Shhhh 🤫 TELL EVERYONE… week 6 guest: our very own blockchain champion @ecoinstant - a podcasting developer on a mission!

We want to give a special shout out to @ecoinstant
He has been lighting a fire in the Hive discord lately. Recording shows and presenting his own Deep Web 3 Secrets shows. He has been making himself available to record and helping during shows with the chat. His enthusiasm has been the best kind of infectious. He is also a witness here on hive. You can support him here…. https://vote.hive.uno/@synergy.witness

Since our first Hive Thrive show, which was a real cannonball splash! We have had on many interesting guests spanning to all of Hives corners. We have gotten into the nitty gritty of the DHF, we have discussed the future of hive, projects supporting internally and externally, and how everyday hiveians can get involved and learn more about the Hive ecosystem. All our shows are loaded with alpha info for any Hive enthusiast or noob looking to learn more!
If you missed any show. Thankfully @ecoinstant and @meno have recorded them and posted it here through the deepweb 3 secrets YouTube channel:

Episode 1. Blocktrades—

Episode 2. Lordbutterfly— (sound issues, sorry, this one is left to the ether)

Episode 3. Acidyo-

Episode 4. Taskmaster4550-

Latest Deep Web 3 Secrets—

This spirit of coming together to share and engage has been inspiring and seems a vital step to continuing the HIVE BLOCKCHAINS growth and success!
I’ll tag some names who have come to the show in case you would like to come this Tuesday. If you want your name removed or if you would like your name added. Let us know in the comments.

This post will be rewarded by @commentrewarder
