Sometimes back, I talked about playing Catizen, and for a month now I've been participating. The Airdrop is due by the end of July and they're going to be using the level of cats and the speed of the kitty to determine how much airdop you can earn.

In this video, I talked some of the gamification aspects of Catizen. It's completely fun to play and I only threw in a few dollars at my disposal to see how far I can go.

They're have two in-game token called $CATI and XZEN and I get a few XZEN daily for logging in and play. Although it's got web2 options to put money in the game, but you can still use your ton in either ton wallet or ton keeper to claim stuffs.

This game rewards active participation and this is why it feels addictive to play. I don't know how well the airdop will go, but just like all airdrop activities it's not 100% certain that you'll get too much, but airdrops at a high level of kitty is guaranteed. You can still play here, if you want to https://t.me/catizenbot/gameapp?startapp=r_2761_12496732

Retention has always been the most discussed issue on the Hive Blockchain and this is mostly because of its unique comparison to some of the most popular web2 social spaces.

I once saw an argument about engagement being one of the reasons why retention is poor on Hive, but in this video, I talked about the general retentive ability of the regular web2 user and how people are now wired to be attracted to thumbnails, clickbait, shorts as well as shiny content materials.

I talked about how the general usage of the internet has made people poor in retention, the pattern of creation, and how the regular internet user has "little time" to consume numerous contents.

Generally, everyone who is going to be onboarded to Web3 will be from Web2, so I talked about why a shift in culture and the inability for flexibility is why web3 will suffer retention, and why Hive is the main scapegoat in this "retention argument"

A lot of people on the chain are finding it difficult to choose between owning & saving HBD as well as choosing the prospects that come with Hive. In this video, I talked about the main reasons for this dilemma. It's the bear market at the moment and this is why it's quite tricky to make a choice.

During the bull market, there's obviously one choice: Sell Hive to own more HBD, then sell HBD to buy back Hive during the bear.

It's a much different case at the moment and this is because of how much the bear market has lingered.

The stalemate in the market makes it difficult to build one solid plan and stick with it. However, in this video, I talked about why everyone cannot make the same choice irrespective of how Incentivizing any of them (Hive & HBD) might be on the surface.

I talked about the uniqueness of the financial situation of different people and why this should be a reason for whatever choice they're going to be making. At the end, I talked about the sentimental loyalty to Hive and why this might also play a role.

This text is not going to be a lengthy one as my main thoughts and ideas are properly conveyed in the video. I decided to jump in on the proposed reduction of the 20% on HBD by doing a video.

It's been over 3 months that I've not made any video and it's special to me that I'm finally deciding to make an emotional return in this particular video.

So this discussion is about analyzing the pros and cons of reducing the APR on HBD and why it's important to understand the reason why a lot of people are choosing HBD as against the hive with the better market prospect, especially with the emergence of the bull market.

I believe that a lot of people are beginning to question the decentralized governance on Hive and why this proposal seems like a coup.

However, in this video, I went on to discuss why Hive has the most decentralized governance model and suggested a particular approach that can be used while getting investors to get investors pumped up about Hive while maintaining that same energy towards HBD.

Socialization: The Internet's Appeal

In this video, I talked about the agents of socialization and how they seem to have lost their potency due to the emergence, development, and sophistication of the internet. I talked about the Nigerian cultural setting and how people in one social background found it easy to establish closer bonds or relationships in the past.

I talked about my life as a toddler and as an adult and how people now lean closer to social spaces to meet their needs for socialization. I talked about how this current generation is living the lone syndrome.

Being more influential on the internet and having almost no physical presence. I talked about how my generation has slowly become digitized and how this digitization has led people to live in their separate worlds.

I talked about the appeal to be more relevant in social spaces and how people camouflage their real-life issues with the life they live on the internet. The closure they get from having no one to judge them and how this creates bigger avenues for psychological issues like depression.

Most of the dreams of ordinary people are to establish purpose in the most important aspects of their lives. However, no matter how simple "purpose" may seem, there is always a sacrifice of the cost that's required to make it come through.

In the modern and sophisticated world we find ourselves in, money and time is the cost we often pay to accomplish a purpose, and it's been proven that almost everything we need to achieve always comes with a sacrifice, an opportunity cost, which we have to let go, to accomplish an aim.

We believe in the principle of causality. We feel that there's always light at the end of the tunnel, especially if we take the time to wade through that tunnel, hence, feel that purpose, is rewardable, provided we're diligent by all means.

In this video, I talked about the difference in people's purposes and how they might be uniquely enacted by money, or how some people's purposes differ.

The video taps into the psychological aspect of people's financial lives and the cost of the things they'd have to give, to get the things they want in life.

A lot of people allow their purpose, aim, or goal, to revolve around financial accomplishment, and this is generally because most of the things that can artificially make people happy can be bought with money.

A lot of people no longer find happiness in the simple and mundane things of life, and this is partially because of life expectancies.

In this video, I talked about reaching certain stages in life where it becomes really difficult to derive the satisfaction of hitting one's milestones and achieving some of the goals they've set. I talked about setting financial goals and hitting the pinnacle of financial fulfillment, yet one is seeking true happiness.

I went on to talk about the stages in life where people see the futility of every one of their efforts, the risks they've previously taken, and how they cannot measure "worth" to some of these sacrifices they've made. I went on to talk about the endless need to find a purpose and why it's important to establish the need to keep living.

Every human being needs a reason, a purpose to keep living and striving and this is why this state of mind of constantly seeking purpose irrespective of one's innumerable achievements can be dangerous. At the end of the day, I talked about people seeking individual and unique ways to find purpose beyond physical or material things.

The speed at which the internet has advanced is incalculable because we have gone from texting photos and pictures to creating real-life impressions. People can now create impressions of what they want to be and not what they truly are.

These impressions can now pass off as real because modern-day technology has made it difficult to distinguish between what is real and make-believe.

In reality, we love these enhancements, because they can basically create our fantasies and make them true. The only problem is that sometimes we oversell these fantasies and they become a tool of pure deception.

Deception in the wrong hands is why marketing has become diabolical. People now sell "success" and omit the "process" that led to that success, because the truth sometimes can be unsellable and unmarketable. Our reality is what we want to make of it.

However, we need our perceptive filters to sift between what's real and what isn't. In this video, I also talked about the different financial situations that people try to create that aren't real.

Entering a competitively free Market requires intentional strategies towards marketing and this is because the market is dominated is dominated by already established brands.

One of the biggest problems of already-established brands is being complacent in delivering quality servicing because of how saturated they've gotten in the free market.

Some of the reasons for this are their excessive need for profiting, the mentality of being established, and the confidence that no competitive startup is going to replicate its success for a long period. In this video, I talked about the impact of a competitive audience and the market system in a state.

I mentioned Nigeria as a market system where big brands are not held accountable for the decline in their servicing, simply because the Nigerian system is not tailored to educate and protect the end-consumer.

I went on to talk about Apple and Samsung and how their competitive nature is to the advantage of the consumer, I made a comparison of the foreign market to that of Nigeria and I gave tips to consumers in the Nigerian market on how to spend when it comes to being intentional about quality services.

A lot of wealthy people are often known to be intentional about their money, about who they pass it on to, who inherits it, or who gets to have access to it when they're no longer here.

This is because people who are recipients of wealth through inheritance will never be able to fully understand the effort that was put into making the money that's now being willed to them.

Value is an individual virtual that cannot be collectively ascribed and this is why people treasure things differently.

In this video, I talked about how it'll be difficult for the future generation to continue the legacy of the older generation, especially when it comes to wealth or business.

This is partially because of life's evolved. I made mentioned a vivid analogy of Jackie Chan and his son and why the older generation will have their expectancy cut short.

Carrying on the legacy of wealth is always difficult especially when an offspring is expected to do so and that's why many wealthy people will rather will their property to those who will continue in their footstep.
