THE THREAD-A-THON
Last weekend was one of my “craziest” weekends on Hive which was characterized by a fun, educative, informative and adrenaline pumping engagement race: the Thread-a-thon.
The Thread-a-thon was a weekend marathon on Threads organized by the Zealy Campaign Team for our Threads adoption Campaign. Participants were required to Slay four mini-bosses in order to acquire more XP (10,000 XP) for the Zealy campaign, and those who successfully slay all four bosses will win an NFT also.
We were required to slay Khaleelkazi, Anomadsoul, Rmsadkri and Taskmaster4450 by out-threading them during the weekend; in other words, having more thread count than they make from Friday 00:00 – Sunday 23:59 UTC (19th – 21st May 2023).
The race was so intense but I was privileged to join the high-ranking participants during the weekend, and this was possible because I had to free up my weekend. At the end of the race, twelve participants, including myself, slayed all the mini-bosses.
Yay!!!
All-Time-High ENGAGEMENT GAME
Aside the fact that I was among those who slayed all the mini-bosses, I accomplished a great feat on Hive which I am still amazed at how I did that. I made Nine hundred and nineteen (919) comments in a single day, and this was motivated by Threads. Threads Hyped my engagement game, and made me feel like a King of Engager. Surprisingly, my Resource Credits also reduced to around 30%. This was a shock to me because prior to this moment, my resource credit hasn’t gone below 90%.
SPAM?
919 comments in a day would make you think it was all Spam, but the truth was that it wasn’t. I detest spam!
I was active on threads for almost 24 hours, and I slept for only 4 hours in the 24 hours. I was awake from Friday night till Saturday morning, and I slept around 8am – 10am. I did the same two hours in the afternoon also. Like I said earlier, I had to free up myself for that day; ordered food in the morning time, but I went to the market later in the evening to get something to cook for the evening and the next day. I also gave up making my Hive Open Mic video and entry for that day (week 162).
In as much as it was fun-filled and really stressful, there were lots of conversations I had from various people that were both interesting, educative and informative. One of such conversations was my interaction with @taskmaster4450 on the issue of listing coins in Centralized Exchanges and creating Liquidity Pools for Decentralized Exchanges.
My interaction with him via threads gave me the “Why” answers to things I earlier knew. For instance, I know that I could swap bsc tokens to purchase some coins on Trust wallet via Pancake Swap and Poocoin, and I also know that I could purchase or sell off coins from custodial wallets like Binance.
However, with my interaction with him, I got to understand a simpler way to understand the Not-Your-Keys/Not-Your-Crypto statement. To make it easier, when you purchase coins and hold them on Binance (for instance), in your mind and on the Binance User Interface, you may think you have a wallet, and the coins are actually yours. But, in actuality, the coins are actually for Binance, and that is why they can pause withdrawal of some coins at some point.
WHAT IS THERE NOT TO LOVE ABOUT THREADS?
The truth is that, it is easier to engage on Threads as compared to on 500 – 1000-word count of posts because the 5 or 7 minutes that it’ll take you to read and understand a post before making your comment, you can read and reply to more than 15 threads.
Thus, I call it an Engagement Booster on Hive, because it makes engagement simpler, easier and fun.
I also see it as the melting point or meeting point of various communities on Hive. Put differently, prior to the existence of Hive, there is no forum where people from different communities on Hive gather to discuss, except you go to their communities and comment on their posts. But, on Threads, you can meet with those from different communities and different niches.
With this, it gives you the opportunity to meet new people and make new friends on Hive.
And from my experience, I can also say without mincing words that Threads is a point for Knowledge acquisition. With your interactions with people, you can learn new things every day; New things about Hive, life, Cryptocurrency and the different cultures as well.
THE LEOFINANCE PATH
Since Threads became public on August 4th 2023, I’ve always been a fan of Threads, the Microblogging pathway and the opportunity we have to break the social media space, as well as the Crypto space. I believe that we have a very good shot at doing this, and this be a very huge success for the Leoverse as well as the Hive Ecosystem at large. Also, Long form posts are still very much active and alive in the Leoverse, and we look forward to a seamless integration of curated content.
Obviously, as we can clearly see, Threads has everything and more of what the Everything App of Elon Musk can give. The decentralization, and censorship resistant pathway is a great potential which will be feared by Centralized authorities, because they always love things they can control.
The multiple earning pathway is also a great benefit for investors and Lions as we all strive for financial independence. The Leo-ads revenue will motivate more people to pick up some leo tokens, and doing this will help put more value to the Leo token.
I also look forward to the integration of the Leofinance NFTs in the Leofinance Ecosystem, and to see the use cases that these NFTs will have. Also, it will be great to see some of these NFTs (maybe Rare or Legendary) also having use cases in the GameFi world of Hive, as this will make it sought after.
