Hello, HIVE!
Hello, Hive Community!
Happy to introduce myself. My name is Caroline, a New Mexico native who's returned to my home state after several years traveling around our beautiful planet. Here in the desert I'm developing a permaculture and regenerative gardening project (challenging!). I'll be posting more about that: how people worldwide are building vibrant soil life to optimize plant health while pulling carbon out of the atmosphere. How boss is that???
I discovered Hive after hearing people like Raoul Pal and Chris Coney discuss social media built on the blockchain. I'm excited about how blockchain technology is disrupting and revolutionizing pretty much every aspect of our lives. The next ten years are going to be exciting, and I'm hoping Hive will be a big part of the changes!
I'm of course interested in the subjects I've listed in my profile. For one, empathic communication is, I believe, essential if our emotional selves are gonna catch up with our technologies. Generally, I'm interested in solutions-oriented messaging, learning about crypto and all topics that move us forward on the planet.
This is me awhile back while traveling in Thailand.

Welcome to hive Caroline! I’m glad that you’re on here with us, it’s a wonderful place full of lots of great people!
I am excited to see you and your interests! We have some really awesome communities dedicated to so many of the things you are into. Natural medicine, permaculture, eco and so many others. There are endless possibilities for sure but what’s great is the folks that are in there making the amazing content! If you can get into those communities and leave some great comments, you’ll grow your account in no time! They have awesome curators and people who spend lots of time hunting out content and people to interact with.
With hive, it’s a big place with a lot to learn so please take your time! Blockchain social media is a lot different than what people are used to, there’s a lot to learn but importantly don’t lose your password or keys! That’s the most important piece I could say to a new user who’s very intrigued with learning the place and making an awesome presence on here.
Below are some good tips ive put together as well as a few good links. Take your time digesting it but please let me know if you have questions! I’ll take a look and make sure you have enough resources to comment, something you won’t know much about but it’s important on the underlying infrastructure here.
We’ve got a beginner zone, so-to-speak that has lots of important information you can learn from. I would recommend you check it out to learn some stuff about the place, lots of great information is posted there.

One of the things I wanted to do is give you a piece of advice that could make this place awesome for you! Talking with some of the people who have been here for a while, we remember one of the best things we did was find other people’s posts through others or go looking and start commenting meaningful things. If you drop small phrases it won’t get you much attention but if you look at a persons post and leave a great comment, a lot of times they will appreciate it and talk with you. If you continue to do this you will develop a friendship with them and will gain followers and grow your account. This is not an easy and fast process. It takes time but the more effort you put in the more you can be rewarded, with limitations of course.
I just say this in hopes you go out there and really connect with people and grow your account. The more we all do this, the more people will come here to take advantage of such a great place.
With commenting and posting, we consume what’s called ‘resource credits’ and in the beginning you don’t have a lot, you have to earn more. If you want to consistently comment and post, the website https://giftgiver.site/ does 10 day delegations for you to increase your credits to comment or post. Give it a try if you need some! Please feel free to ask me about this if you are confused!
There’s also a great article that can answer a lot of the questions you may have. Please visit it at:
https://peakd.com/hive-198524/@hivepeople/hive-for-noobs-hive-198524
Here are also some great communities of people you can check out! The list is a work in progress so please take them as suggestions but there are a LOT of others besides these!

Welcome to Hive @zialuna I'm sure you will be happy here. Thanks for sharing, looking forward to your future posts.
Hi there, and thanks for the welcome, @artywink. I will check out your blog... sounds like you're a creator. I've mostly been doing home remodeling and gardening as a creative expression lately... thinking of what I might get into after the house is more complete. Earth art is appealing to me... like (think his name is) Andy Goldsworthy. Are you familiar with him?
Welcome!
What a lovely face you have :)
Thank you for sharing your true form.
Looking forward to learning more about your permaculture project...
Hi Caroline, we might not have so much in common except of the travelling and interest in crypto, but it looks like we're going to find some fascinating content here! Welcome and good luck in Hive!
Welcome to Hive, @zialuna . (What a cool name!) Boy, are you in for a ride... but in a good way. Imagine social media where you hold the reins (of a team of very stubborn mules crossing rough terrain, that's for sure, but at least it's not you who's being driven). Okay, I'll stop with the obscure analogies here. You'll find out for yourself, as there are tons of new things to learn, from crypto tokens to managing communities.
Two things that caught my attention in your description were New Mexico and Permaculture. I just love your state, though I never actually lived there. Interestingly, I did my PDC there (on a ranch not far from Las Vegas), and later the Earthship academy in Taos. As you can see, it's the natural building aspect in Permaculture that I've been pursuing most visibly. But even though I live in Mexico City (for the most part), I'm no stranger to growing soil, using urban vermicomposting, though the scale in hardly comparable to a farm or a garden.
So yeah, I'm looking forward to reading more of your posts, about whichever topic you may want to write about. Until then, have a !BEER 😁 (It's a tip token. If you hold sufficient you can pass out one every day I think.)
You need to stake more BEER (24 staked BEER allows you to call BEER one time per day)
Thanks for your welcoming comments, @stortebeker. Glad to know of your interest in permaculture and green building! The earthships outside of Taos are interesting. I visited Dennis Weaver's earthship in Ridgeway, CO, years ago. It was interesting watching worshipful petitioners grovel around him!
I love Mexico. Almost settled there a few years ago, then flipped and ended up here. I was mostly in some mountain villages in Oaxaca (and in Oaxaca City, which I enjoyed). I'm missing the paisano cultures of the different countries visited in my five years of travel. The !BEER!
Sorry, you don't have enough staked BEER in your account. You need 24 BEER in your virtual fridge to give some of your BEER to others. To view or trade BEER go to hive-engine.com
Oh yes... Dennis Weaver, groveling worshipers, the whole Biotechture company... those are the aspects of Earthships I really could care less about! Still, it's part of it all, which is why prefer Earthship INSPIRED stuff.
Yeay to the mountains of Oaxaca! I'm actually thinking of checking out San Mateo pretty soon. Heard lots of great things about it.
Oh, well! You should definitely check out San Sebastian Rio Hondo, which is near San Mateo. Quite a gathering of expats there, doing some good things. Sadly, there's been a lot of deforestation in that area of late. I also stayed for awhile in Capulalpam, another very beautiful mountain pueblo SE of Oaxaca (near Ixtlan de Juarez). So many beautiful places!
Yes, I've heard of San Sebastian, though never visited. It's also up there in the San José del Pacifico area. Deforestation? That only calls for REforestation, so again an opportunity for doing good things. However, Capulalpam I've never heard of, so I may go to check it out some (other) time.
Welcome to Hive. This is a very interesting place. Enjoyed your read and looking forward to seeing more.
Thanks! Lots on offer here. No way to explore it all!
