I'm going to let you guys in on my most elite marketing approach. Remember when Billy Mays died and then soon after they rolled out Phil Swift to do infomercials and he was a heavyset guy with Khakis on?
I say we roll out "Jimmy Sandfield" who will be nerd from Florida who does Livestreams sometimes with a shirt on sometimes without. He will push traffic, educate, and on board a new army of crypto gamers, bloggers, and investors.
This will get the entire crypto community talking about HIVE. The ICP community will especially be like WTF???? ∞
If anyone acts like our character is similar to another character we will act like we don't know what they are talking about.
Jimmy will be racially ambiguous and question his sexuality periodically so he will be a DEI hire and mirror 95% of the hiring in the United States the last 4 years. 🇺🇸🦅 Homos for Harris sign in the background on Livestream and a Mark Cuban shrine in a spare bedroom but then Votes for Trump because Mark ignored him on X.
The best time to roll out Jimmy is NOW!!!!
The only way we get respect in the cryptoverse is to Meme harder than anyone before us!
Then when everyone is like WTF....is this blockchain trolling us?!?!? It will be like the US Election but worse!!!!
We then put on the finishing move and roll out Cray Grants who is originally from Jamaica and keeps the flow.
ByteBoi Crypto
He will get his supercar stolen in a dramatic business deal gone wrong. He/They/Xi will also get kidnapped by an OnlyFans subscriber after slipping into Gary Ginsler's DMs.
All pitching HIVE and the various apps and games within the ecosystem. Meme tokens will miraculously appear the minute these characters are unveiled to the world on Solana to harvest funds to perpetuate the campaign driving more and more traffic to HIVE!!!! No roadmap, it's a meme. Keeps the show going.
Recruitment, Content, Education, Games, HIVE, HIVE, HIVE!!!
Are we going to miss this blow off top in 2025? Some of us have been here for 8 years and I'm going to war and I will not keep it civil. FUCK that!
I'm voting for this nonsense because its got more explaining in it as a proposal about its operations than most of the so-far-shown nonsense marketing proposals and it immediately leaps to it's main character doing live streaming, so for that, my beloved self-funded and self-built creation, https://HiveStreams.Live awaits the arrival of this new over-edge-lord-have-mercy creation of yours! With or without his shirt, it's cool, whatever man!
You got my satirical vote for this satirical proposal, as long as they live stream and hopefully choose to simulcast to HiveStreams.Live!
Just saw this and am in agreement with you mihijo. Plus it is so ridiculous and unique I think it will WORK!
Who knows this proposal may actually get funding and if it does I am onboard to help in pushing the project forward!
Thank you! I think the premise of harvesting revenue from memes on other blockchains is a unique approach and doing a character who people can't tell if he is trolling or if he is educating or a combination of the two will at the very least be a hilarious inside joke for the HIVE blockchain and bring some excitement back here. The character development of Jimmy will keep people engaged. 🤣
We have to get innovative and we aren't going to stop the meme storm so we might as well dominate it and bring characters to life! I know I laughed even typing the thing out. 🤣
It is good to see live streaming return and I would certainly have the characters stream on your platform and others!
If this joke proposal funds we are dumbasses.
Maybe this is a nested Psyop to get people to look at the other proposals and vote?
Maybe we take ourselves too seriously here? Jimmy got my in $FWOG a month ago and we are doing pretty good.
https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/fwog
Jimmy knows his shit!
There is definitely a broader look at funded proposals that should be done, but most marketing we've wasted money on hasn't done anything for us, and 24000 more going... Where, exactly? Doesn't seem like it's going to help us. Its a nice little payday for whoever this funding goes to and then no value to the chain. We've had altogether too many marking attempts funded.
How many times have HIVE community members been kicking in the sand as meme token after meme token pass us up? How is this the most advanced / developed crypto ecosystem and we have slipped WAY down the depth charts.
Young Jimmy has Asperger's Syndrome but people identify with his struggle. Just think if the HIVE community gets behind his content of him playing Splinterlands and posting from his phone with the Ecency app. What if they repost his videos on X, Subscribe to him and comment on his YouTube videos? Jimmy likes crypto.
I'm going to have to train Jimmy up on HIVE related stuff and get him cranking content and do his character development across these other platforms and do sponsored YouTube campaigns. Also the Liquidity Pool has to be set on a chain like Solana when you launch. $24,000 is honestly nothing for doing all this but I will be able to partially perpetuate it out putting part of it in savings and the main goal is for this to prime the pump and to perpetuate it from the funds from the meme campaign.
We aren't really using the power of our community, people aren't having that much fun here, and we really haven't done that much marketing. Everyone is falling into the mode of clinching up and not really utilizing the funding and getting worried about giving upvotes when freedom of speech is in jeopardy and Olympus Has Fallen.
Jimmy likes crypto.
I'm not sure we want to be considered a meme coin or associated with them but hey, I'm just one random dude, what the fuck do I know. I guess we will see if this funds, and if it does and actually provides any return you can say "I told you so" and I'll eat my pessimism about the approach.
🤔🤨 es una broma ?
I am way ahead of you
Great stuff! I followed you. I wasn't aware of what you had rolling. It's great to see!
He is actively going around saying Hive is a scam.
He was all over the place saying every other project besides ICP was going to 0 but then the price action exhausted him most likely. He is one hell of a marketer. The majority of people who have spent any time in crypto know who he is so he is a known entity which makes it hilarious to roll out characters that are oddly similar. Bringing memes to life that are giving real information but are mentally unstable and are causing drama. Almost like a mocumentary of crypto to where half the people think its just another influencer. People underestimate what we lost when Craig Grant, Trevon James, and Jerry Banfield were no longer here. Some of my videos that got the most views lately have been about ICP and talking about Jerry Banfield. I had a similar experience back in 2018 talking about Trevon and Craig. I have a few guys who understand crypto and can be brought up to speed and can become Jimmy Sandfield.
If I didn’t know him already from Steem I would have never joined anything he promoted. Without knowing the shit I know now he would have turned me of as a shill not as someone who is value their opinion.
There were a few people who said that in comments that were new to ICP and initially saw his stuff but people kept watching and were influenced by him. Overall he did show a lot of the benefits of the ICP ecosystem and when I saw him pitching ICP I took note and made a video about how we should pay attention. I just knew what he was capable of as far as pushing traffic.
Who gives a shit?! Look this is a great satirical project. There is an old saying: You shall not covet... this includes the creativity of another.
Quit being such an hater since this ain't your idea. In the years I have known of you online, you have never had an original idea!
I like it and you are entitled to your opinion. Have a nice day and try to appreciate the creativity of others.
put down the booze you drunk and come back to the real world
You need a job or a girlfriend, but being so mentally ill, probably can't hold either. On average, how many hours a day do you spend spamming your drivel on hive? 12? 16? Do you get any sleep?
check yourself in your nearest clinic, get the help you need.
When you going to send me that list of all my accounts?
O____O
Probably I get only a fraction of the humor as I don´t know the guy you are satiring, and I don´t know if he is indeed a celebrity, but the approach is genious. At least better what we have so far.
I appreciate it! To give you the short story on Jerry Banfield back in 2017 he had a DASH Masternode and pushed a ton of traffic to DASH but they didn't approve his proposal to get funding to keep pushing traffic. He sold the Masternode and started pushing STEEM. We supported him and he turned up the dial on Facebook and YouTube advertising and potentially 50,000 new users showed up because of him and from his efforts and other things going on the price pushed up past $8. In that timeframe he got kicked off Facebook and Udemy.
He was a STEEM / HIVE witness around the time of the HIVE fork and he got frustrated with the price action and he made all these videos purposely destroying his own reputation detailing how he injured and scared his back giving himself blowjobs. The whole blockchain tuned in. He shut down his witness node and got rid of all his streaming equipment and was absent for a couple of years.
He started back up and got all the streaming equipment again and started reviewing every crypto and then came to the conclusion that the best crypto was ICP and effectively pushed a massive amount of attention back to ICP and got funding from Dfinity to push traffic. He had made all these videos saying every other crypto is going to $0 which is ridiculous but his education on ICP keyed a lot of people in including myself on the strengths of that project. He pumped it from $3 to $20 basically and gave me a nice ride. Do to market conditions and all that it has retraced and Jerry quit YouTube again 3 weeks ago which spurred a lot of attention and response videos in the ICP community.
He is an interesting character and a great educator and a lot of people have an opinion about him but even if it is negative people tuned in and his message resonated. I think in general even rolling out other characters that have a Jerry Banfield or Bitboy Crypto effect will key people back into HIVE and be funny for everyone to watch. Everyone trying to figure out if the character is real or a joke or if the whole thing is a complex Psyop will have us all laughing.
Now I got it, it is about Jerry B! Of course I know him when he was pumping Steem. What a crazy guy, but very convincing at times. He even showed up on Hive recently and asked if he should try to pump Hive as well but sadly he was heavily flagged down. I am not sure if a fake-JB would get that much attention, but worth a try. If the whole Hive community memes hard, anything is possible...
Jimmy is even more convincing. He got me into $FWOG a month ago and we are doing pretty good.
https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/fwog
Jimmy has Asperger's Syndrome but people identify with his struggles and he is good with electronics. He got kicked off of Facebook and Tinder but he likes crypto.
Although I appreciate the satirical nature of this, this seems like a waste of money.
I’ve been in crypto since 2017 and have never heard of this dude. Let me poll one of the crypto chat if they have heard of this bro.
You don’t have my vote yet, maybe never but certainly not yet.
Thank you for tuning in! Even if only 1/3rd of people have seen Jerry Banfield or BitBoy or whoever else having a quirky character who is pushing content about HIVE and sourcing revenue from meme tokens on other chains is not a bad idea. HIVE really has never been marketed besides word of mouth. Part of the issue with that is we are likely through this extended bull market and HIVE really didn't see the price action anyone here really hoped for. In 2016 there was a point where STEEM was #3 on CoinMarketCap. Obviously the community has been fractured but how far are we going to fall despite having the most fully formed ecosystem in crypto?
Jimmy, I know you don't give financial advice, but which tokens are going x100 in 2025? Asking for a friend
Rich2025 tokin is all the chatter but I think it's cuz they misspLeLd token.
Awesome, let's use a innovative tactic where we all buy it and hodl till we go to the moon
Young Jimmy and I got in $FWOG several weeks ago and I have been blogging about it here. 100X is going to be tough from this point but.
https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/fwog
High risk because Jerry Banfield is a complete idiot. He did a video about COTI and did zero research so his credibility is like zero.
Yeah but you know who Jerry is. The point is regardless of if someone knows if a character is a play on someone else having a quirky character who is pushing content about HIVE and using memes on other chains as a revenue source isn't a bad play. HIVE has never really been marketed.
Yes Hive has never been marketed yet the DHF fund is not doing it's job properly and should be held accountable for their questionable spend.
I feel like people are clinching up on pushing forward and a lot of people got disengaged so proposals aren't getting voted on. Seems to be a lot being left on the table and not utilized. Seeing the Ecency proposal still not have enough votes is pretty crazy to me.
Perhaps we should realign incentives.

Support another whale experiment?
Jimmy is worried people don't like him at this point but he is happy that he invested in $FWOG and I'm glad I listened to him as well. I don't know man. Jimmy is the real deal.
Well, if he can come into the ecosystem, deliver on his promises, then I'm sure the crowd will shower him with their benevolence, or something.
But, coming in cold and expecting a jaded crowd to just extend an open wallet is a little much, don't you think?
Well I have been in crypto for 11 years and on STEEM / HIVE for 8 years. I have seen the lifecycle of a lot of projects and have seen a lot of people try different strategies here. Some of developed great projects and never got funded so even the premise that someone comes here and builds something amazing or pushes tons of traffic to this ecosystem doesn't mean they will get support.
As an example you might remember the Partiko app.
https://steemit.com/@partiko
It was well developed and people used it and it couldn't get funding so they left. There has been a lot of various projects like that.
I don't think it's too much to expect. The HIVE Fund is being under utilized and HIVE needs the shock paddles to get people excited about this ecosystem again. There is other competition and expecting not to advertise or coming up with new advertisement and revenue sources isn't going to work because people are onto the new thing and the newer thing and the newest thing.
Jimmy is pumped up that his $FWOG play considering it is hitting new all-time highs today.
https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/fwog
HIVE needs Jimmy more than Jimmy needs HIVE.
I remember partiko, it was a rival to ecency, perhaps they should come back and try again, we did change some of the management in 2020.
Afaiac, the dhf can hang out growing until we decide to burn it.
The hbd stabilizer needs a fund to work with.
There are things it has paid for that are legitimately in the interests of us all.
How efficient that payment has been is debatable, but if the chain needs people to work the chain needs to pay for that work.
Cast.garden is another app that came here, built itself without funds, and now gets the back of the crowds' hands.
Vigilante.tv gets the downvotes.
Not totally undeserved.
Hive is a crab bucket, lots of crabs.
But, if you can make it here, you don't have to make it anywhere else.
If jimmy is doing so well, 1% of hive can be had for less than 1mil usd.
That level of buy in won't even impact the price all that much.
That 4mil hive won't give you a controlling amount of stake, but it will get you into the initiated halls of power.
If you don't like how the hive is managed, buy more hive.™
I agree that HIVE can be a crab bucket.
I have done the math on the various DPoS blogging chains of what it would take to end up with a sizeable amount of power in the system and what that would mean.
I'm #22 on DTube currently. I was in the top 10 a year ago.
https://avalonblocks.com/#/richlist
That play came with a decent amount of risk for various reasons and that ecosystem is hanging on by a thread right now. One of the issues being that the Proposal system doesn't actually work there. Enough people have disengaged that you just have to self fund any sort of project there at this point.
People questioned why I was buying so much DOGE in 2018 and 2019. I just knew. It made more sense for me to stack a big position there than to stack HIVE. I think a lot of that plays true today. There is a lot of competition out there.
HIVE is the most well built out ecosystem in crypto but the advertisement push just wasn't there and if people didn't get the love they went elsewhere.
At the end of the day a lot of people on HIVE are content with collecting a certain amount of rewards and are riding the fractured pieces of the tail end of a comet.
The other day I legit came up with about 4 of my best ideas I have ever had in crypto. Harvesting revenue streams from living memes and an advanced psyop was just one of them. Jimmy likes crypto.
Another thing I wanted to say about this is it reminds me when we played the Lake Erie Crushers this spring and one of our pitchers went 5 innings and struck out 8 of their guys and looked better than any of their pitchers. Their manager acted like he wasn't interested in signing him and that he should go to the USPBL tryout which was a tryout for a lower league. It was basically insulting.
So saying Partiko should come back and try again is essentially an insult to them. The fact they launched an app that well built for a maybe was miraculous in itself and there is no reason that Ecency and Partiko couldn't have both been funded. They just go elsewhere and don't look back.
I have been here since July 17th of 2016 mainly because I'm stubborn and like to learn from the experiment.
https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/fwog
$FWOG passed the market cap of of HIVE today so what are we waiting for and what are we trying to do? You can look back through my posts and I have been talking about $FWOG for a month.
In 2020 we took the field while others were hiding during the scamdemic. People felt the team name was stupid. Then Dogecoin went up 10,000% in 1 year and they all felt like I just might be from the future.
HIVE needs something different to take back it's rightful place in the crypto world.
I guess if they are too good for us then we won't miss them much.
I got here in aug of 16, I'm waiting for the comeuppance, too.
#hivemarketing #lgbtq #parody #posh
If nothing else everyone would be entertained and people haven't been having as much fun here lately!
Can you tell I'm not being serious? That was an over the top parody response to what appears to be a joke offer. Just having fun with it.
If you're actually serious, just know I won't be supporting this.
No worries. Jimmy and I got in $FWOG a month ago and are hitting all time highs and doing the proposal at least brought some visibility to some other proposals out there.
https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/fwog
Which proposals? I see about three in approved status that all claim to be doing some marketing somehow.
I still don't know if you're serious or joking. Marketing legit products on Hive using meme token tactics would do more harm than good, would it not? These people are working towards longevity. Whereas the meme token crowd is typically looking for something quick.
That's just not the way I feel. How would it do any harm to the chain? $FWOG passed HIVE's market cap today. DOGE is a top 10 crypto and is there for the long haul so a meme can last over a decade.
I'm all about the legit products and I think a lot of stuff that has been built has been great. Splinterlands, 3Speak, Ecency, Peakd .......etc. It's all great!
Maybe people are too serious and too stingy with the funds for the DAO. We are midway through this bull run and this blockchain is clinching up and afraid to sprint forward. All this has been around for 8 years. In a lot of ways you have to ask yourself if those with the power an influence here are just looking to keep the gravy train running but sink into the shadows and go to greener pastures at this point. Instead of taking the situation on full speed and getting other things going.
Where is this chain's South Park? It's like everyone is too serious here. This proposal has been the most interesting thing to happen for awhile.
So you are serious.
Your approach made it sound like a joke. To me, at least. I thought you were just trolling the DHF for views.
My initial response was coming straight out of the South Park. Now it's gone because yeah I started to feel like maybe people do take things too seriously here.
But when it comes to pitching an idea, I'd recommend stating your intentions in a serious manner, even if the results are meant to be comical. That's why I asked, "Could you tell I'm not being serious?"
In the same way some might take my joke response seriously, some might take your serious plan as a joke. I don't think anyone wants to hand over 24k if they're confused. I know I don't.
Also, if it doesn't get approved, factor in maybe it's not that there's something wrong with people, just maybe they don't think it's a good idea.
Majority of meme tokens are junk now. Something like 95% of them, and maybe more. But I don't want to argue about that.
400 HBD daily is insane. I don't even know this guy.
It's good to meet you! It's not that much because it comes out to $24,000 and the liquidity pool has to be filled and Jimmy needs to be payed. He has bills and needs proper nourishment. Is 400 HBD daily insane or is Jimmy's latest recommendation having a market cap of $61 Million after 1 month more insane?
https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/fwog
Maybe the more insane thing is HIVE has never really been marketed.
Well, I voted cause it's worth a shot I guess. Hive needs more eyes.
Thank you and I agree! Bringing more people into the ecosystem and bringing people back is something the community needs.
are you guys serious？
Yeah, Jimmy likes crypto. I had a conversation with him today and his anxiety kicked in because he isn't sure the HIVE community will accept him. He recommended $FWOG to me a month ago and we have been doing good with it so that was a positive.
From my perspective HIVE would benefit more from a more professional advertising campaign. I suppose it depends on the type of people we are trying to attract to the ecosystem.
I certainly can understand that perspective and there are certainly some really good proposals out there for Ecency and Peakd and maybe this is a nested Psyop to get people to look at the other proposals and vote?
It's so crazy that it could work
Jimmy likes your comment. He said he's good with electronics and will work hard for the community. 💪
