Welcome to Hive Thrive Community Hour — Episode 52

Hive Thrive Community Hour is our weekly town hall for builders, critics, curators, and anyone stubborn enough to still care about this strange and resilient blockchain of ours.

Each week we slow things down, ask real questions, and let ideas flow in real time.

There are no scripts. No talking points handed out in advance.

Just open conversation about Hive, its culture, its economics, its people, and the future we are all quietly shaping together.

We Explore 🤔

• Why people with real expertise choose to publish on Hive • How cybersecurity professionals view blockchain systems • What real digital risk actually looks like in today’s internet • The human side of security failures • And why trust remains one of the hardest problems in technology

There may be hard truths. There may be laughs. There may be mild discomfort.

Hive Thrive Ain’t Just Another Discord Show 😄

We treat it more like a live town hall for the blockchain.

A place where developers, witnesses, curators, creators, and critics can share the same room and talk about the systems shaping Hive.

If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking about Hive, why it works, why it doesn’t, or why it somehow keeps pulling people back in, you will probably feel at home with the likes of us.

What we’re trying to do

✅ Help people understand what’s actually happening behind the scenes ✅ Reveal the real stories behind Hive’s institutions and projects ✅ Talk openly about governance friction and systemic issues ✅ Look for ways forward that strengthen the network instead of dividing it

Hive is a remarkable experiment. And like any experiment, it works best when people are willing to talk honestly about it.
