This is a direct application towards... https://peakd.com/hive-106258/@hivefest/hivefest-splinterlands-ticket-giveaway-win-2-full-passes-to-kuala-lumpur - EVERYONE should APPLY!
I have bought plane tickets and an amazing ๐ hotel room (and some other things I can't say LOL) for attending @hivefest this year, 2025!
I did this in MAY 2025!
Yep, I have been booked since then, but I haven't yet bought my HiveFest ticket. Because I wanted to make a big deal of it. Not just to inspire, but also to prove a point.
We are the orchestrators of our own path! And me being who I am, I believe a lot in building things via culture and chatting with people.
This is who I am... I have my own life, yes. But when I drive my motivation through whatever I am in, the way I ingest the vibe of that thing is ENOURMOUS! - Some can already verify! ๐
It's all about attitude, right? Yes, but not only... the reputation, the connections, the history, the support, it all counts.
I have been on Hive for (only) 8 years (because when the thing started, I was starting my life in NZ), so I missed all the stuff (some of) you guys started in Portugal. I was soooo sad by then... felt like missing the ultimate opportunity!
Last year, I decided to fly to Split for Hive Fest 9! For the first time in my life I have flew into a HiveFest... and damn you...
๐ YES I LOVED IT!
And I WOULD have words for it, but they would probably DDoS this chain LOL ๐๐คฃ
HiveFest 9 was the FIRST real "Tomorrowland" of my crypto life (and believe me, I have been to crypto conferences)
Not just for fun (even if this last one was A MEGA EXPERIENCE), but ultimately the reason for "me" that wanted this for so many years... and the feeling of achieving it on MY OWN means... was HPOWERFUL!
No, I haven't been on a Tomorrowland one, but I can tell you, it's amazing! I am 100000% SURE!
So, yep, for me to say this about HiveFest, you can probably guess. But you don't need to just believe in my words...
๐ง๐ค ASK around!
I am happy for people to expose what they saw of me at the last Hivefest. The non-private stuff obviously... ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐คฃ๐๐ (what happens on hivefest, stays on hivefest right? LOL)
Common sense... I guess. We are all Humans... and we should protect common sense. Yes, I had fun! A lot of fun! ๐ Would do it again, harder! ๐
Why I want to attend @hivefest
Really? If by now this is not obvious... excuse me... ๐
But let's get to the point...
I love decentralisation, and have and will keep helping many behind the scenes.
"Why haven't you been telling us about all that?"
Well, I don't enjoy bragging about myself. I like to do the right thing. If someone wants to brag about me, go for it. I don't like it. I am not a salesman... I am an HPC IT Generalist! I CAN (and this part is very important) do everything kind of thing... hence I am not very good at specific things... including sales!
But if I can get pumped... I can be that guy! (just not probably the most consistent one) ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
Anyhow, anyone surrounding me will be faced with my happy, positive attitude of discovery (because that's what I do for IRL). While that happens, I will try to discover what you want to find about Hive, help you to the best of my knowledge, and try to bring you the same experience I love about this chain.
Yes, while there I might need to slow down a bit... because I am just tooooo fast sometimes.... And I know that. I will do my best ๐
๐ What if I don't get this ticket?
Well, I am ok paying for @hivefest (if I have to pay for it, I will), but because prices have been going down lately, I have been self-motivated writing this post (otherwise I would not).
But the idea would be to power up the amount (and have it locked) of Hive needed to participate in HiveFest. So, if I get this value back (or if I even win this) I will make sure I power up that as a proud person.
๐ I will be at HiveFest 10
If you want it or not... I will see you there, 100% intent ๐

(the several planes I need to take in order to arrive in Malaysia can be diverted to other countries and get me weirdly forced to do stuff I am never going to agree) ๐ I Hope NOT!
