Christmas & Building BBH

CHRISTMAS STRESS

As I sit here on a Sunday morning, on a Christmas eve I am drinking a coffee and have a radio station with Christmas music.

I just finished searching the interent for news about crypto. Nothing caught my attention worth reporting on. Then I thought about what to write today. Beside my usual report.

I thought about this when I wrote my @hive-112281 post last evening but never did it because I did not want to write negativiity. So let me see if I can get this off my chest without being negative. Just facts.

This time of year the first thing that always comes to my mind it "I hate Christmas". You know it is not Christmas I hate, it is what people put themselves through. The expectations they try to reach. Making themselves sad during what is supposed to be a happy, a celebration.

At least here in North America it seems to get lost.

I have seen it with my mother, my sisters, my wife. The frustraion, due I have enough presents, and the one I hate the most, do I have the even amount of dollars spend on each kid and each grad kid.

Do your children actually sit down and figure out if you have spent the same amount of money on them? If they do, that is so sad.

I understand the thought of treating everyone the same, but that should come from the giving of presents, of stuff they need or want. Not buying something else for sake of topping up because one has slightly more than the other.

And when you become a grand parent, especially in a family with divorses and remarages. With more than two sets of grand parents. The poor kids, trying to figure out how to keep them all happy. How much time to spend at each one. Especially if they are front out of town.

I see more frustration and more tears, and more depression during the happiest time of year than I do any other time of year.

And it happens every year. No one learns, it is almost like they like it. Why else would you do the same thing evey for 50 years or more in a row. Hoping that this year is going to be better? When you know it is going to be the same if you keep doing the same thing.

I am not sure if it is a Man thing or not, but I just go along with it. Do what I can for the wife, listen to her and try and give her comfort.

I gave up making suggestions on how you can make Christmas better. The hours in the kitchen cooking for 30 minute sit down. Killing yourself amost because it is tradition. The one year I suggested getting take out to save everyone the agravation. I thought I was going to loose my head.

Maybe, just maybe, it is those fleating moments. When you watch a child, grandchild, a spouse, open that one present. See that one smile, get that one hug, that one thank you.

Maye, just maybe those 20 seconds of joy from someone else is enough of the weeks and agrivation. The mental and physical stress. Maybe...

I want to thank everone that has donated so far. Remember if you donate BEE please send it to the @hive-112281 account.

If you are not in the list and think you should be, or if the totals don't look correct let me know please.

I am raising asking for dontations to a minimum or 5,000 BEE to a maximum of 10,000 BEE.

5,000 BEE will get the OUTPOST off the ground. The other 5,000 will add to it, as in, staking, delegation, I need 1 BEE stakes for each active member of the OUTPOST. Etc.

So if you have BEE lying around in your wallet or if you want to be a founding member here it is.

AIRDROP

I will on launch of the outpost, air drop 20 BBHO for every BEE donated to getting this launched.

Max air drop will be 200,000 BBHO. There will only ever be this one air drop.

Some math for you. If we where fully funded at this moment and launched.

Approximately 3 BEE to 1 Hive 60 BBHO equals 1 Hive 0.00057 USD for BBHO if Hive at 34 cents.

Are you in?

BUILDING BBH

Saturdays are drip day. Now if you are not a regular reader of mine you are wondering what is drip day.

I run a income token and tipping bot all in one. The token is BBH. Every Saturday I payout the people holding BBH tokens. Passive income if you like. I like to call it a 'drip' of a token(s) to the people that own BBH tokens. And unlike some all you have to do is own it. No staking, no nothing.

1071 drip payments were made.

If you own 10 or more BBH tokens you got a drip of swap.hive.
If you own 5,000 or more BBH tokens you got a drip of swap.hive and the Alive token, and CTP Tokens.
If you own 10,000 or more BBH tokens you got a drip of swap.hive, Alive, CTP, and $LEO tokens.

All just for owning BBH. There are two ways you can get BBH. First you can buy them from the open market. I use TribalDex myself.

Or they can be tipped to you. The great part about BBH tipping is that when you tip a token to someone else you do not loose any of your own. There is a central pool that supplies them.

And a third way to get BBH would be people gift them to you.

TIPPING

In a 24 hour period, reset at new day UTC. There are currently four levels of tipping.

Level 1 = 1000 BBH holdings = 1 tip per day you can send
Level 2 = 5000 BBH holdings = 5 tip per day you can send
Level 3 = 20000 BBH holdings = 20 tip per day you can send
Level 4 = 50000 BBH holdings = 50 tip per day you can send

The tipping command is !BBH

I now set the release price of BBH to the markets daily. It is an open market so sometimes you can pick up deals when others are selling cheaper than my set price. The goal is to have 1 BBH = 1 Satoshi. I do a bit of math and get the price. If Bitcoin is stronger than Hive then the price of one BBH goes up and if Hive is strong than Bitcoin then the price goes down.

Here is the last week worth of price settings.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, Bradley.

I fully understand your frustration. This is our first year with "step grandkids"
It has made it more challenging. My daughter lives six hours away so we do not know the new grandkids very well.

It has added to the holiday stress, but I try to focus on the true meaning of Christmas as opposed to the problems and stress of the season.

I hope you find joy this Christmas, which I am sure you will as you are truly blessed, @bradleyarrow

Growing up, my family made a big deal about Christmas. Having my own family and having let go of that tradition and joining in with different practices, we find it's a huge relief. A world holiday centered around buying and selling reciprocation takes away from any significant meaning or observance. The most precious part about this time is not the gift-giving or parties or decorations... it's time together with family. But if there's discord within families, even that can be stressful.

I don't have children but I understand how troublesome it is to cook sometimes. It is the holidays though so I agree that it's better to stay positive.
