The When & Where

📅 Tuesday | 6 PM UTC
📍 Hive Discord General Voice Channel

Here’s a big fat question:

If you think Hive is getting things wrong… do you quietly grumble in the comments, pack your bags and leave, or stick around and try to help fix it? Our guest tomorrow seems to have chosen option three. And in true Hive fashion, that has led to some passionate discussions. So grab your popcorn. 🍿

About our guest Hive account@igormuba 🌟

For Episode 60, Hive Thrive welcomes Hive account@igormuba.
If you’ve spent any time on Hive these past few weeks, chances are you’ve come across one of Igor’s posts or found him deep in a comment thread discussing where Hive is headed.
Igor has become one of the more active voices in the ongoing conversations around Hive’s future. He’s questioned assumptions around the DHF, challenged the way we think about incentives and accountability, and recently found himself in lengthy public discussions with Hive account@blocktrades about governance, spending, and whether Hive’s current trajectory is sustainable.
What makes his perspective interesting is that he isn’t shouting from the sidelines.
He’s investing.
He’s participating.
He’s building.
He’s continuing to put skin in the game while asking difficult questions about whether Hive could be doing better.
Whether you agree with him or not, he’s bringing ideas to the table that have sparked some of the biggest conversations in the ecosystem lately.
And that’s exactly the kind of guest we like to have around.

What we’ll dig into 🔍

💬 The recent discussions that have captured Hive’s attention.
🪙 Why continue buying and supporting Hive while raising concerns about its direction?
💸 Is the DHF helping Hive thrive, or is it time for a serious rethink?
🗣️ What did Igor take away from his public exchanges with Hive account@blocktrades?
🏗️ Why keep building on Hive instead of taking those ideas elsewhere?
📣 Does Hive have a discoverability problem, or are we simply overlooking the things already being built?
📈 What products, tools, and priorities should Hive actually be focused on?
🔮 And if Igor could change one thing about Hive tomorrow, what would it be?

Since this rocket launched, we’ve welcomed guests from all corners of Hive and explored everything from infrastructure and governance to games, communities, curation, business experiments, real-world adoption, and the wonderfully strange rabbit holes that make Hive what it is.
This week, we’re diving into one of Hive’s favourite traditions: spirited disagreement between people who ultimately care about where this ecosystem goes next.
Join us live, bring your questions, and let’s see if we can leave with a little more understanding than we arrived with.

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.
