I'm so very happy to announce that the official NFTHypeSquad-Blog is now live on Hive!!!

--> @nfthypesquad <--


And because Hive is such a great thing and makes it possible to earn Tokens by creating good content and being active in the community :) we will be able to raise a fund to help artists getting started on @nftshowroom!

All earning from the NFTHypeSquad-Blog will be used to support artists, who want to start out on NFTShowroom!


But, yeah, I guess most of you don't know what the NFTHypeSquad is ^^ So probably I should tell that story first:

Maybe some of you remember that about 3 months ago I created a Twitter account, because all the NFT-art-world seems to be there and I wanted to take another step to bring my own art to the people.
I had thought about that and hesitated for quite a while actually. I've never been a huge social media user and I wasn't sure I was made for the big wide world outside of Hive ^^

But I did it because it felt right, and so I threw myself into the crazy world of nft-twitter ^^
And I was lucky, because on my second day, when I still felt so overwhelmed and confused by the sheer amount of input, I got a message from someone called CryptoPom, who was very friendly and invited me to a discord channel with the words: "We're mostly newish artists in the NFT-world, trying to learn how it all works lol".

That sounded pretty much like what I needed ^^
So I joined this little group called NFTHypeSquad! And I found like-minded people, who are on the same path as me!
They were so welcoming, I was reminded of when I first started blogging here on Hive <3

Now we're over 200 artists and collectors in the Squad, who try their best to support each other in their attempt to gain a foothold in the crazy NFT-world.

Since I'm part of the Squad I keep telling my fellow members about NFTShowroom and Hive, about its value and strong community, and how grateful I am to have started here a year ago!
(Of course I try not to annoy people too much, I'm just spreading the word very politely ^^)

And a little while back the community approved my proposal to start an official Squad Blog here on Hive and begin working on raising a fund to support our artists who want to start selling their NFT's on NFTShowroom :)

And here we are!
Yesterday we posted our Introduction Post, which already got so much support by the Hive Community! <3 Thank you so much for that!!!

Read it here:
Building a Strong Community in the NFT-Space - Introducing the NFTHypeSquad

I'm really excited about this project, this can really become something big and beneficial for artists over time!
It might take a while to really earn enough Hive to properly support people, but we'll be working on it steadily :)

Hive and the Squad are really my most dear and important communities right now which I'm very glad to have found!
And I love to bring together the people that I like :)

If you haven't already but like what we're doing and trying to achieve, I would be very grateful for any support on the Squad account <3
