I got the chance to sit down with @jeffberwick, the @dollarvigilante, and talk about #Anarchapulco, cryptos, Steemit, and the importance of self-work. In case you aren't aware, Jeff is the guy who founded Anarchapulco back in 2015, one of the best-known cryptocurrency investors & educators, and a major builder of the anarchist community through his variety of content platforms and mainstream media appearances.
If you were around here on Steemit back in July & August of 2016, you'll remember how big of an impact @dollarvigilante's arrival on the platform had, immediately bringing in many of the great creators we see now.
As soon as you stop changing - you've ceased to exist; you're simply a memory.
I saw one of my favorite bands play last night - they also happen to be some of my best friends.
Along the way, those original 4 brothers have shifted, and become a completely different band, with a brass section and a keyboard, among other things.
## Here's the Copper Children on:

Want to escape the cold weather and people preaching about the sacrament of voting?
Every winter freedom-loving, peaceful, logical, open-minded humans from all around the world converge on the city of Acapulco, Mexico for Anarchapulco. We started migrating in 2015 as a group of ~150, and this year there is expected to be over 3000 people!
If you know me, or have been following my blog, then you've heard about my experiences in Acapulco over the last 4 winters. I attended the first conference, and have been involved in a variety of ways in the years since. Last year, I expanded out into the first annual Anarchaforko as well.
This year, you can bet I'll be down there once again, and I think now's as good a time as any to start sharing my excitement & my plans for my time there! If you consider yourself an anarchist, a voluntaryist, a truth-seeker, a rebel, a peacemaker, or simply a lover of counterculture, you may just want to join us :-)
If you haven't bought your tickets yet, you can use my affiliate codes with both events. Anarchapulco tickets are $495 until Nov. 30 (then up to $545), and Anarchaforko tickets are $150 until Nov. 30 (then up to $250). With my Anarchapulco code, you'll receive an additional 10% off!

As I mentioned in a [post](https://peakd.com/hive-111111/@kennyskitchen/what-would-it-take-to-clone-the-hive-blockchain) not too long back, we are looking at creating a clone of the hive blockchain (same framework - clearing the history, then making adjustments), to launch a semi-private (invitation only, with varying levels/types of verifications) blockchain, as a decentralized back-end for [freedomcells.org](https://freedomcells.org/) *(a website frequently devastated by DDoS attacks)*, as well as offering tons of things that they haven't approached yet - including a decentralized, recognizable currency across the *agora*, all sorts of funding & governance options, etc.
What is *Freedom Cells?* From the [website](https://freedomcells.org/):
> *Freedom Cells are peer to peer groups organizing themselves in a decentralized manner with the collective goal of asserting the sovereignty of group members through peaceful resistance and the creation of alternative institutions.*
This is not going to be competition for Hive in any way, or for Bitcoin, or Ethereum, or Tron, or Monero, or any of those others.
This will be a completely different kind of platform. Something we've yet to see, AFAIK.
We're not trying to get our coins listed on speculative markets/exchanges.
We're not trying to appeal to the masses.
PoS will be used, but financial tokens will be separate from governance tokens.
While the blockchain will be *transparent*, it will not be *public*.
#### **Most importantly... this is a blockchain being created, released, and run by people who share a common recognition and adherence to the non-aggression principle and the sovereignty of the individual.**
Do I need to stress further just how different this is from every other coin, blockchain, or social media platform?

Somehow, people manage to convince themselves that things must or must not be true, simply because for the opposite to be true would require them to actually think, to actually analyze data, and in most cases to realize that they have spent a LOT of time, energy, and money supporting institutions & programs that were openly evil, violent, and oppressive.
## Some Links:
* Here's the World Economic Forum's GIANT page about their plans & intentions for [The Great Reset](https://www.weforum.org/great-reset/), all public since long before anyone besides researchers heard the term.
* The WHO's [Task Force on Vaccines for Fertility Regulation](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1874951/), started in 1972.
* My Article *[We're All Conspiracy Theorists. Yes, Even You.](https://peakd.com/palnet/@kennyskitchen/we-re-all-conspiracy-theorists-yes-even-you)*
* Fauci's emails proved beyond a doubt that the "COVID" response was intentionally fraud. [Full emails](https://peakd.com/hive-122315/@kennyskitchen/covid-19-the-facts-and-science-that-the-masses-never-saw), and a much short [article breaking them down](https://www.realclearmarkets.com/articles/2021/06/05/believe_your_own_eyes_about_fauci_e-mails_not_the_fact_checkers_780187.html).
Obviously these are just a couple of links, which cover only a small facet of what I was talking about in the video... but those who are willing to ask questions will dive deeper, and those who aren't willing to ask won't click the links anyway.

That's right, we're back for another episode of __*Kenny's Hive Hints*__; two in a row! This series is a reboot of my now 4-years-out-of-date series *"Kenny's 2 Minutes Steem(it) Tips"*, in which I tried to cover, all the things I found myself explaining to folks all the time.
This series is basically the same, just fast forward to 2021 and we're on the HIVE fork. Today, we're going to discuss one of the ways that I recommend new users consider, to help them build steam. First, here's the previous episodes in the series, in case you missed them.

# Episode 2: Community Contests & Prompts
One of the things that can be most challenging in starting off on a platform is building connections, getting followers, when you don't already have an audience that you're bringing over with you.
HIVE offers quite a variety of ways to connect, from communities & games to tags & [communities](https://peakd.com/communities) (which function like sub-reddits or FB groups), and various different messaging platforms & specialized front-ends.
One of the best options to start connecting with others, getting inspiration to create, and making some extra crypto is to connect with some of the various HIVE communities through their contests & writing prompts. This is a way to create content you may not have thought of otherwise, a way to get new eyes on your content (who may become new followers), and a way to get some more up-votes and maybe other rewards, as well.
Here are a few regular contests or writing prompts that happen regularly on HIVE:
* @Abundance.Tribe Bi-Weekly Question ([most recent](https://peakd.com/hive-181465/@abundance.tribe/abundancetribes-biweekly-question--imagine-that-someone-was-objectively-examining-your-life-where-would-they-see-the-most-gro))
* @DeepDives Community Research([most recent](https://peakd.com/hive-122315/@deepdives/deep-dives-20-or-the-wikileaks-archive-500-hive))
* @EcoTrain Question of the Week ([most recent](https://peakd.com/hive-123046/@ecotrain/ecotrain-question-of-the-week-5-6-what-is-your-message-to-the-world))
* Hive Open Mic (weekly, run by @cabelindsay) ([most recent](https://peakd.com/hive-105786/@cabelindsay/hive-open-mic-47-worldwide-live-music-event))
* Various @NaturalMedicine contests & community activities ([most recent](https://peakd.com/hive-120078/@naturalmedicine/febuary-is-the-month-of-looovvvveeee-win-100-hive-extended-due-date))
* @LadiesofHive Community Contest ([most recent](https://peakd.com/hive-124452/@ladiesofhive/ladies-of-hive-community-contest-20-hive-124452))
* @Qurator's Hive Top Chef ([most recent](https://peakd.com/qurator/@qurator/qurator-s-hive-top-chef-or-pizza))
These are just the few contents/prompts that I know of, a couple of which I discovered while writing this post. There's sure to be more lurking around in the blockchain, and you could start the next great contest! If you didn't know, one of the most beautiful things about voluntary, decentralized spaces is that they leave the space open for anyone to jump in and solve a problem or offer some new way of doing things. HIVE certainly represents that.

Hello beautiful humans!
Welcome to the first of what will hopefully be many videos recorded in @ELAmental's newly finished sound studio. This one was just recorded with my phone, as usual, so you'll have to go check out [his posts](https://peakd.com/hive-116127/@elamental/thunda-from-da-underground-elamentals-1st-beat-complete-video-of-instrumental) to get some samples.
Anyway, the real reason I came to chat with you today was to discuss @reward.app, a wonderful project started by @acidyo & @cardboard. Basically, it allows you to receive your post rewards in a 100% liquid form (half HIVE, half HBD) instead of in the usual half liquid, half staked form.
Besides converting the rewards to liquid, @reward.app also keeps 1% for the project, and 4% is distributed to everyone who voted on the post. This second part is a huge bonus in my mind, allowing me to reward my followers & supporters, as well as incentivizing people to vote on my content :-)
[Here's the quick guide](https://peakd.com/hive/@reward.app/reward-app-quick-guide-updated) on how to use @reward.app, which is now available on @leofinance as well.

Surely you've noticed over the last couple of months how Elon has been using his ~60 million followers on Twitter to screw with the crypto markets?
First he started tweeting about Doge (a completely dead, worthless, shitcoin he must have bought a few billion of), driving it's price to many times higher than it could possibly be worth...
Then he got on SNL and basically said that crypto is a scam.
Then he started tweeting about how crypto is bad for the environment, and other such nonsense.
Then he started tweeting about other shitcoins.
To be clear: Bitcoin (the oldest & least efficient crypto) still [uses only a fraction the energy of either gold or the banking system](https://beincrypto.com/galaxy-digital-bitcoin-consumes-less-energy-banking-gold/).
All the cryptos in the world don't come anywhere near the pollution of [the US military](https://projectcensored.org/2-us-department-of-defense-is-the-worst-polluter-on-the-planet/).
In fact, Bitcoin & crypto are actually FAR more "green" than [Tesla's electric cars](https://www.forbes.com/sites/timabansal/2021/05/13/how-green-is-tesla-really/), and far more "green" than [solar panels](https://www.wired.com/story/solar-panels-are-starting-to-die-leaving-behind-toxic-trash/).
# Elon Musk knows literally nothing about crypto - he is simply manipulating prices so the whales can take advantage of stupid people (like the ones who buy/sell based on twitter posts.

Hello beautiful humans!
Today I'm checking in from the rolling box I'll be living in for the next 32 hours or so, as I make my way out to Denver for the 7th annual Community Share Fest!
I've gotta say, Amtrak is one of my favorite ways to travel. Yes, it's generally more expensive than flying, but there are just so many positives, like:
* No TSA
* No Security checks or bag searches
* No ID needed
* Great views
* Lots of interesting people to meet
* Slow - no rush to get there early, no lines, just smooth sailing
* Sleeper car means I don't have to wear a mask unless I head to the diner or something
Anyway, I probably won't have internet much between now and when I get there, but I'll see if I can't get some good video of the trip to share with y'all.
Thanks so much for tuning in, thanks for being you, and thanks for sharing this human journey!
