HiveFest 202🌳 // Freechain

Only a few short weeks to go so I wanted to write my obligatory Hivefest post for this year. Like last year you can expect a presentation from me and @little.lamb (Freechain director) as well as some other things...

Some other things to expect from me:

• Bad jokes of course. Such as attempts at humor through the overuse of the question: "Donde esta la biblioteca?" and terrible attempts at singing the "Cancion del Mariachi" from Desperado after a few cerveza.

• Being tall. Yes. Not much has changed in that regard from last Hivefest in Amsterdam. People tend to like telling me that, and it has been helpful, because I was indeed not aware of it.
  To return the favor, this time around I will be going from person to person and telling them how short they are while blasting an oldie from my phone.

See, already with the bad jokes. 😂

• Freechain closed premiere. The premiere will not be streamed unlike the presenation so only the lucky few attending Hivefest will be seeing it at this point. We are looking for feedback and watching for the general feel we get from the audience.

• And the Freechain presentation ofc that will come earlier during Hivefest. There I will cover a bit the goals of the film, the idea behind it, the future of the film, and the future of similar endeavors. If Freechain succeeds in any of the ways we hope it will we dont intend to stop here. Creating something with external appeal that is seen as having monetary value by the outside world is I think the way we disconnect ourselves from our primary crypto market dependence.

DHF being used not only to create "things" or maintain them (code, websites, etc.) but rather used as seed money to create a business that potentially returns the investment back into the ecosystem should in my opinion be the primary, or at least a more significant part, of how DHF funds are used.

Right now no proposals are pushed to do that. Most are happy with a singular source of income for them. The DHF. That needs to change imo and these projects need to find ways to become competitive in the wider market.

Freechain will be the first DHF project to achieve that... or fail while attempting to do so.

Either way, I will be able to say that I tried and will continue to encourage and support anyone else attempting something similar themselves in the future.

If we cannot attract investment, if we cannot attract "whales", maybe the DHF can help create them.

Just living off of the DHF will not do that.

Anyways... I want to thank @starkerz, @eddiespino and others for the work they have done to make this happen. It will for sure be a blast and I cant wait to experience some Mexico.
