Today Allen & Unkle Bonehead discus Social Tokens. What they are, who they are for, how to create them & why someone would want one. A big take away from this is that when considering Social Tokens is to not look at it as an investment opportunity. As with most things in Web3 one of the core fundamental priciples is the content creator. Remember in Web3 you support the creator and not the content. Web3 should be about people not investments.

Ecency released a major update earlier this week and it's probably the best they've ever done. They gave us Decks 2.0 and introduced Ecency.Waves. A new short form competitor to Dbuzz & Leothreads. But rather than stop the competition they welcomed them in. You can post to Dbuzz, LeoThreads AND Waves all from the same place! Our minds are blown! This is now officially our favorite app for Hive! Very highly recommend you check it out. https://ecency.com Release post https://ecency.com/hive-125125/@ecency/introducing-decks-and-waves?referral=unklebonehead

Today Allen & Unkle Bonehead discuss the pros & cons of NFT's vs Voting rewards as a #Web3 monetization model. Hive upvotes PROS 1) If you build a solid network of supporters, you can sustain a long-term income 2) There are multiple ways to earn on the blockchain 3) Participants can monetize from post creation, curation, and comments 4) Beyond comment monetization, participants can earn by developing new dapps 5) The highest earning content is not about crypto 6) The more you earn, the more potential you have to earn 7) You can take your earnings and put it into savings with a 20% APY 8) You can buy HIVE and increase your earning power more quickly 9) No fees 10) On Hive, you can have ongoing income as long as you remain active CONS 1) Comment creators and curators are limited to 7 days for payouts 2) Whales and downvote cabals can drive away good content creators using bully tactics 3) There is a learning curve 4) It's hard work to find an audience for your content because you don't have algorithms helping you 5) There's no mechanism for choosing how much you earn --- NFT monetization PROS 1) NFTs give you the power to earn on a secondary market 2) You set the price for your NFTs, which gives you the ability to influence how much you earn 3) There's no limit to how many NFTs you can create 4) There are multiple blockchains that allow you to create NFTs (Polygon, Solana, Ethereum, Optimism, Hive, etc.) 5) It's fun to create NFTs 6) NFTs can be created in a variety of formats (music, video, literary, visual, podcast, etc.) 7) NFTs allow creators to assign ownership of assets to other parties 8) NFTs can also have utility, which makes them more valuable to the people holding them CONS 1) NFTs must be visual or they are not likely to sell 2) NFTs are still a nascent market and not altogether doing well in the downcycle 3) NFTs do produce ongoing income whereas; rather, creators must rely on selling NFTs and those purchased appreciating in value and selling on a secondary market, none of which are guaranteed 4) Network fees can be profit prohibitive --- https://mirror.xyz/allentaylor.eth/rbzpqDXI4SAxxrMlOhx4o6rIt2zJEl2pcgLxfWpdF3Q (Diamonds and Pearl: The History of the Top 10 Cryptocurrencies)https://paragraph.xyz/@tayloredcontent (Taylored Content newsletter where every post is an NFT )https://readl.co/book/25730738359309784841103145527884708297477924404312994775503112673563267563530 (Web3 Social: How Creators Are Changing the World Wide Web (And You Can Too!) available as an NFT)https://tinyurl.com/web3social-audible (Web3 Social recently released as an audiobook)

Today's episode was spurred, as usual, by the Cryptocracy newsletter. One of the stories Allen reported on was about what is the perfect internet?So that's what Allen & I riffed about. Thinking it would be a short 15 minute conversation.We were wrong. The conversation went on for nearly 45 minutes. As you will see, the answer to that question is not easily answered. --- Allen has moved all of his mail lists from Substack to Paragraph.

3Speak has made a post detailing an overview of their new Acela Core. I’m assuming the image in the post is meant to try to make it more simpler to see the overview. But it looks much more like a wiring diagram or schematic than an overview. I honestly dont see how or why there is a need to reinvent the wheel when there are existing solutions in play already. To us this looks like added points of failure, massive development and constant ongoing maintenance. Something that will require a lot of overhead to operate. Not to mention how many points of attack vectors will this open up? Go read it and see the image for yourself. https://peakd.com/threespeak/@threespeak/introducing-the-acela-core-upgrading-existing-web2-apps-into-true-web3-dapps Allen’s book is now available on exclusively on Kindle at the moment.

This week Allen & I sat down with Nathansenn & Chrisrice to talk about Dbuzz. https://d.buzz Duzz is a short form content (micro blogging) app for Hive. It's fricking awesome and I personally use it.  Allen made his first "buzz" today and when you hear what they have coming you will be super excited for it. I cant wait to see what this app does in 2023. If you do start using Dbuzz make sure you follow Allen & I there as well. @unklebonehead and @allentayor You can also follow the podcast account @defluencedcast as well.  We also talked about another app that I got a little geeked out over. An encrypted instant messenger that uses Hive. I quietly tried it out during the show and am totally impressed by it.
