Announcing winners of the New Years Challenge and Last challenge before new format.
With great pleasure, I announce the winners of the last Hive Punks giveaway challenge.
Your prizes have been sent to you and thank you for taking part!
We all have obsessions..
I will be the first to admit, I think I have an obsession with collecting things. Many of you know that I have spent a vast amount collecting Hive Punks, I don't even keep track of how much HIVE I've spent, but that is besides the point and the actual point at the same time. When you obsess over collecting things, you rationalise your purchases to justify it all. I'm only really concerned with how much the thing in front of me costs, and whether I'm prepared to pay it at that time or not. As long as I'm not breaking the piggy bank I'm usually happy I bought the item.
Now, in real life, I have one thing which stands out when it comes to obsessively collecting. That would be shoes and sneakers. I like to tell myself that because I run so much (5 to 10 kilometers per day), I need to keep my rotation of running shoes fresh to avoid any unnecessary injury, but I think that's just an excuse to collect shoes I like the look of. It's gotten to the point where I honestly don't know how many pairs of shoes I have anymore - I sometimes rummage through my collection and find shoes I forgot that I bought. I have even bought the exact same pair twice because I forgot I bought it already.
In the gallery above, I've included a small collection of running shoes I have purchased in the past year. As you can see, I have many pairs of the exact same shoe. A difference in colourway is enough to interest me (funny how I seem to display the same behaviour collecting punks wouldn't you say?)
I suppose one consolation from being an obsessive shoe collector, is that I actually feel motivated to run more often because of the sheer number of shoes I have yet to run in. I would say that I go through a pair a month, but I probably average buying two pairs in the same time. Either I have to buy one less pair a month, or double the amount of running I do before my house turns into a shoe-dio. I think I'll just keep the dream alive and push for that noble goal of increasing my monthly mileage and eventually running a decent time in the marathon!
I'm curious though, do you guys have anything you obsessively collect?
- Make a post on liketu.com with atleast 5 pictures of an item / thing / object you obsessively collect.
- Tell us why you like it so much.
- Make sure to tag challenge so I can find it.
End date for entry is exactly 1 week from time of this post.
Best Posts will be given a generous vote and..
Winners will be awarded a free #hivepunks courtesy of me.
Challenge format change
As you know, I have been running semi regular challenges on liketu.com for the past 3 weeks to help everyone warm up to the new front-end but most importantly, have a bit of fun learning about each other. I remain committed to keeping this endeavour moving forward but a new system has been devised to better achieve our objectives in driving engagement and liketu.com utility.
In the next week, we shall be introducing a reward points system based on your activities specifically on liketu.com. Different actions will reward different amounts of points. We're going to call these points Diamonds. You can then accumulate these Diamonds to spend in our little reward shop where we'll be continuously adding stock of #hivepunks but also probably the Ragnarok NFTs as well.
Just a note : These Diamonds are like loyalty reward points which will be issued for the kinds of activity we like to see on liketu.com, they are non-transferable and can only (currently) be used to redeem items from our shop.
Later on, we'll be adding more items to the shop to let you spend your points. So far, the plans are more kinds of NFTs, Merchandise, Delegation rewards, and potential air-drops. We'll announce the new system with some screens of how it works on our @liketu account soon for you guys to get a better idea.

The other tells me :
One is 30x more expensive than the other.
Bet the more expensive is the one that only tells the time lolol
OMG! You have so many pairs of shoes! Those shoes look so cool, if you saw my little collection, you might laugh at me, haha! The idea of exchanging diamonds for items is also great! I want to be a part of it.

I'm hype for the diamonds!! Congrats to all winners
I like my diamonds to be VVS, Colour D and GIA certified... but I'm not picky ;)
I have an obsession with collecting Monopoly game as well, I haven't couple of versions of Monopoly, the only different between you and me is that I don't spend hive or fiat for them, I get this from my company 🤣
Good company perks i'd say. I never got much for free from the companies I've worked for.
Actually I grab more items for my nieces more than for myself 😂
Careful, you don't want to be investigated for 貪污 😂
No worry, my boss knows we taking them, as the samples will be throw away even we don't take them anyway, the samples going to our home have got more value than just go to landfill, right? lol
事实是那公司是他老爹的@atyh
🙄right, this is the real truth
咳咳, I grew in a single family when I was 6, and my dad pass away back in 2008 😤
😂你父母也挺能折腾的嘛！离了又复合，恭喜你突然成了富二代🙈
You must have a huge piggy bank for the obsession. By the way, I am totally new on Liketu, do I need to tag # Liketu as the first when I post? looking forward to hearing from you.
It's only a few shoes, won't break the piggy bank :)
To participate on liketu, you must use the website liketu.com which is a custom frontend we designed for sharing picture based posts. We encourage all people to use liketu.com if they want to participate and contribute as just tagging the community or liketu will not show the post on our frontend.
Look forward to seeing your posts there.
wow first guy i know who is obsessed with shoes :D lmao
I should have started shoetube instead of liketu 🤣
I should have been buying btc instead of jimmy choos in 2017. 🤣 the question is what should we buy now: shoes or hive ? lmao 🤣
Why not both, I have as many shoes as I do hive :D
🤣 I have more shoes, I am a girl after all... 🤣

Nice collection! I have the Nike Peg 38s and love them. Bought the Hoka Cliftons for running but they're slightly too narrow for my wide foot!
Congratulations @elmerlin!
You raised your level and are now a Whale!
Check out the last post from @hivebuzz:

@elmerlin does LIKETU have a discord group, if so I'm asking for the link, I'd like to share with other friends, And ask some points about liketu :)
We don't have a public discord. We might open one at some point. We prefer all communication to be on chain though.
Owh, I think LiKETU has a personal discord, I'm very interested in this new blockchain platform, and I'm also wonderful to be closer to people on the liketu blockchain platform. :)
Thanks. I prefer to have all engagement on the platform (on chain) as that has the potential to encourage further networking from other community members. Discord isn't very transparent and might exclude other members of the community from the discussions.
I think it will be appropriate at some point, perhaps soon. But not right now.
@elmarlin Yes I agree as you say, but I think a great platform like this has a personal discord like any other platform. I voluntarily try to give the best for my posts for LIKETU, and voluntarily I am also interested in becoming a moderator on Liketu, now and even someday, greetings from Indonesia.
If people spend time on discord engaging.. that's engagement that could be happening on the site - something we prefer, especially at this early stage.
We don't (yet) need moderators. In-fact, I was going to write quite extensively about it at some point because I think people have been mis-understanding the purpose of Liketu. This is our fault because we began with a community, to which all the posts are posted to, but this is not where we will ultimately be in the very near future.
We can fight abuse through a variety of means, one of which is just not showing demerit posts / pictures on our front-end. We have already had to step in several times for this. In terms of reward pool abuse, we believe that we vote very conservatively and through getting to know the community members intimately, whilst upholding standards for getting rewarded, we are able to minimise that front as well.
When people post to other communities in the near future, then how we deal with reward pool abuse falls even further out of our jurisdiction. This is not to say we don't treat abuse very seriously, but it is a community effort and not ours alone.
Liketu hasn't implemented any rules yet, people are free to share and post all kinds of things here, I think it's pretty easy, because there isn't a specific rule for Liketu, but I really enjoy the development of the Liketu community at the moment.
Cool shot dude! 😎
funny that you said you collect shoes! I make shoes in real life. maybe next time you can try Saucony, Hoka and Brooks. They have very good running shoes.
now that's a lot of shoes - is that even legal? lol (mine would be stationery stickers haha!)
Unfortunately, the legality get's worse as this is only a (very small) fraction of the shoes I have! 😂
Oh no - I guess the ten photos would be just like the tip of the ice berg!🤣
The shoes are amazing, of course, the price is expensive.
You have lots of shoes 😍
Hey. I watched a movie on Netflix and wanted things. How do I find the title I will send you. Some people are sick of collecting so many things of the same kind. Maybe you have a lot of money, but it doesn't change the fact that it is also unnecessary to buy. Think how much more wisely you would spend your money. I'm not obsessed with that much. My obsession is woman I have been addicted to gambling for several years. Although I learned a long time ago to live with it and to control my emotions. (long story) I like your challenges and would like to help the liket community. Im curator tipu. How do I contact you?
To err is human. I would agree that most purchases are unnecessary. But I don't subscribe to the idea of purely surviving as a life. All the things I purchase have some intangible value to me greater than the money that I spend to acquire them. You can contact me on Beechat, or discord, or on here :)
Your nick discord and number?
