Festive Cheer, Blockchain Insights, and Community Momentum
In the latest episode of the CBRS #Podcast, the hosts delivered a lively discussion about holiday traditions, blockchain developments, and ideas for fostering collaboration across decentralized communities. From reflections on Christmas to updates about Splinterlands, the VSC Project, Dash, and cross-chain opportunities, the episode was packed with insights and plans for 2025.
Holiday Reflections: Family, Festivities, and Barbecues
The podcast opened with warm reflections on the holiday season. @minigunner shared his attempts to create a new family tradition with young children during Christmas, humorously recounting the delightful chaos that ensued. Meanwhile, a six-and-a-half-kilo ham became the centerpiece of @artakush celebrations, fueling festive barbecues and holiday cheer.
The hosts underscored the importance of family and community during the holidays, reminding listeners to cherish their connections and build traditions that resonate with their values.
Hive Blockchain: Growth, Market Activity, and Opportunities
Hive #Blockchain has been making headlines recently due to its increased trading activity and notable price growth. The podcast highlighted how Hive’s presence in the markets has attracted significant attention from major traders, resulting in two substantial price pumps within a single week.
This surge in activity reflects growing interest in Hive’s unique value proposition as a decentralized blockchain for social interaction and community building. The hosts noted that such momentum is a positive signal for Hive’s future, as increased trading activity often leads to greater visibility and adoption.
Looking ahead, the discussion emphasized the importance of leveraging this newfound market attention through well-timed campaigns and community-driven efforts. The hosts encouraged Hive users to continue spreading awareness of its innovative features and value as a blockchain that combines decentralization, creativity, and equitable rewards.
Splinterlands: Thriving in the Blockchain Gaming Space
@Splinterlands, a flagship project on Hive Blockchain, continues to lead the way in blockchain-based #gaming with an exciting roadmap for the coming months. The podcast highlighted six major updates that the Splinterlands team is set to roll out:
- Survival Mode – A new game mode introducing unique challenges for players and expanding gameplay options.
- Conclave Arcana – A major new card set that promises to enhance strategic depth and offer fresh dynamics to the game.
- Validator Nodes – The introduction of SPS Chain validator nodes, a significant step toward decentralization and governance.
- Land 1.75 – Key updates to the much-anticipated land feature, bringing the vision of land-based gameplay closer to reality.
- New Mobile App – A revamped mobile app designed to improve accessibility and enhance the gaming experience for players on the go.
- Major Marketing Campaign – A comprehensive initiative to increase Splinterlands’ visibility and attract new users to the platform.
The hosts celebrated these updates, emphasizing #Splinterlands’ role in driving traffic and engagement within the Hive ecosystem. They encouraged listeners to explore the game and support its development as it continues to grow.
The VSC Project: A Game-Changer for Hive in 2025
Anticipation is building for the upcoming @vsc.network set to launch in Q1 2025. While details remain limited, the project is expected to bring significant innovation to Hive Blockchain and serve as a major milestone for the ecosystem.
The hosts speculated on its potential to drive growth and encouraged the Hive community to stay engaged and ready to support its rollout. This initiative, they noted, could help Hive reach new heights in adoption and visibility.
Dash and InLeo: A Proposal for Community Engagement
The podcast touched on interactions with the @dashpay and @leofinance. The hosts shared how they had posted a reply on X (formerly Twitter), suggesting that @khaleelkazi host an AMA (Ask Me Anything) session for Dash users.
The proposed AMA would guide #Dash community members through every step of using InLeo, from registering to posting and exploring the system’s full capabilities. By hosting the AMA within the Dash community itself, the session could reach a wider audience of Dash users, encouraging them to participate and integrate into the InLeo platform.
Cross-Chain Collaboration: Bitcoin and Hive
The podcast highlighted a fascinating opportunity for collaboration between #Bitcoin and #Hive communities, inspired by the efforts of Tyler Durden. Durden’s Bitcoin-funded water well projects in Africa have made a tangible impact, reminiscent of similar initiatives by the Hive community.
While these projects are separate, the hosts saw potential for greater impact if Bitcoin and Hive communities worked together on shared goals. They called for stronger collaboration between blockchain ecosystems, suggesting that pooling resources and expertise could drive even more meaningful, real-world change.
CBRS Website and Community Growth
The CBRS brand continues to grow with the launch of its new website, coldbeetrootsoup.com. Designed to centralize CBRS content, the site features podcast episodes, articles, and updates on projects.
The hosts invited feedback from the community, particularly on integrating Hive’s RSS feeds into the website. Future plans include sections for a merchandise shop and a dedicated page for projects, showcasing the team’s commitment to building a comprehensive platform for their audience.
Looking Ahead: New Year’s Plans and 2025 Goals
As the year comes to a close, the CBRS team is gearing up for an exciting 2025. New Year’s celebrations include family gaming sessions, barbecues, and even a bold swim in the sea to start the year fresh.
Professionally, the team is focused on expanding their content, creating video shorts, educational materials, and strategic campaigns to promote Hive. With Splinterlands, @threespeak, the VSC Project, Dash, and cross-chain collaborations in the mix, 2025 promises to be a transformative year for the CBRS community.

I stepped away from the podcast for a moment and a 6.5 kilogram cured ham had appeared on the table. I'm enjoying the quirky chemistry of the show.
Hahah, Yeah, it was a creative direction we took, since having it either on the warm window plate above radiators, or have it all just there, which is a bit of a much. xD But we pulled it off by having it there for a second!
