"One of the marvelous things about community is that it enables us to welcome and help people in a way we couldn’t as individuals.."
•Jean Vanier

Beautiful friday to you my people.

How are you all doing today? Last week, we discussed about Asuu Strike. We focused our discussions on the Academic Staff union of universities in Nigeria. How difficult it is studying in a Nigerian federal university. I enjoyed reading the comments and i feel happy every time i think of how much bond this engagement has helped us create.

Thank you all for sharing your lovely opinions.

Some months ago, I thought,I shared and I asked "Why don't we Chat on hive every Weekend?"

Topic Of Discussion - Hive's Second Birthday/SPK Network.

Yay! The Hive Blockchain is 2 years old. It's two years since the hard fork from steemit. Two years since true decentralization started. In such a short time, there has been alot of decentralized applications, and many more are on their way.

Personally I have written about how much Hive means to me on several occasions. It's such a privilege to be here at this point in time.
So today till Sunday, we would be discussing about Hive. Let's talk about our Hive Goals. The ones we've completed and the new ones we've set. Alongside the Hive discussions, I want us to share our knowledge about one of the outstanding network built on the Hive Blockchain; The @spknetwork!

They would be hosting a celebration for Hive's second birthday on Sunday. You can join in for the live event on Sunday 16:00 UTC (5pm Nigerian time). There will be lot of giveaways and explanations on how the network runs.

Wait! I'd tell you a little about the Spknetwork and share the party venue with you. I'm sure some people would give more insights in the comments section.

The SPK Network is a decentralized Web 3.0 protocol that rewards value creators and infrastructure providers appropriately and autonomously by distributing reward tokens in such a way that every user, creator, and platform, will be able to earn rewards on a level playing field.

The 3speak video application runs on the Spk network.

You can read the SPK NETWORK LIGHT PAPER

A snapshot of your hive balances has been taken on the 6th of January this year and everyone with a hive balance on that day would be able to claim the new LARYNX MINER TOKEN!

To find out what LARYNX MINER TOKEN is and how to claim it, endeavour not to miss the birthday party!
