Happy HPUD and some Ghostbusters!

avatar

Happy Hive Power Up Day everyone! We all can say goodbye to July and say hello to August. As usual I went ahead and did my power up for the day. I typically don't power up much on HPUD as I tend to do smaller ones throughout the month. This month I haven't been doing it quite as many as I have been investing in other projects that have taken up much of my spare Hive.

So here is the power up for this HPUD!

Fortunately I have been posting regularly and will reach my goal of 5,000 Hive Power, that's going to feel great!

Because HPUD posts are always so short I like to add something else to make it more interesting. Today is no exception!

On streaming I recently I watched the latest Ghostbusters movie, Frozen Empire. It was alright, but nothing nearly as special as the original movie. Then again it would be hard to beat the original just like so many other franchises over the years. They did bring in Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Ernie Hudson from the original movies which was a lot of fun to see. They played much more significant roles this time around so from a nostalgia standpoint it made the film more entertaining.

I keep hoping they will be able to talk Rick Moranis out of retirement for a cameo, but no luck so far... I did read this past week that after all of these years they are making the movie Spaceballs 2. Maybe we will see him return as Dark Helmet? Now that would be awesome!

Back to Ghostbusters, seeing the movie got me thinking about a coin I saw recently on Apmex, a precious metals dealer. Every now and again I like to check out coins from the island nation of Niue, because they produce so many beautiful commemorative coins. This last time they had a new one for 2024 celebrating 40 years since the release of the first Ghostbusters movie. They even colorized it with the Ghostbusters symbol!

About the coin:


From numista.com

I think it's a pretty cool coin, they do make an non-color version as well but it's kind of plain. What I found funny was the mintage of the coin, they are making exactly 1984 of them. This corresponding to the year of the original movie release! It is one Troy ounce of pure silver offered at $41.75, more than I would probably pay personally. $35 maybe.... It's one of those that might go up in value, but might not, it's a tough call! But still another fun coin from the tropical paradise of Niue!

That will just about do it for today's post. Thank you for taking the time to stop by and I hope you enjoyed it. As always I want to thank everyone for all of your support, it really is greatly appreciated!

The Ghostbusters silver round is really cool, but I would agree with you at $41.75 that’s a bit steep!🙄
Interesting that they’re minting only 1984 of these someone got creative Lol!😇

We have been meaning to watch the new Ghostbusters movie, haven’t gotten to it yet. Sounds like it’s OK but not as good as the original…..
Still worth checking out !👍

It's easy to participate, and sometimes you win prizes. So it's worth it I 've found. I like the coin too, just not at that price... I'm guess I'm becoming an old cheapskate! lol

When next month comes around, I will give it a shot. For shits and grins I just powered up 10 hive.

I am the same way with spending, but this guy would probably buy it. He is all in on the cos play stuff related to Ghostbusters. He goes to conventions and all that stuff.

Lots of opportunities I hope! We need to continue to comment and grow, and recruit some new members. With the HOC and DUO that's part of our push this month along with the new Pollination project. There's a lot exciting stuff this month!

I hope BBH gets that tip bot back up soon, but we'll try anyway! By the way if you want some free DOOK for tipping just as bitcoinman, he's been giving it out to DUO holders.

The BBH bot is already working, I was waiting for it to come back too, I think it was this week, on Tuesday or Wednesday it was back! I'm still not sure about the dook, how does it work? How much stake do you need to use the tips?

I love the silver round!

I loved the Afterlife movie, thought they did a great job with it. This one was a slight bit more disappointing, can't put my finger on why. That said, I spend a good bit of my early childhood thinking I was a Ghostbuster, lol, so I do love that they are trying to bring it back to life in this way as a continuation of the original instead of rebooting.

The girl one was freaking HORRIBLE...

I liked afterlife too, Frozen Empire wasn't bad, but wasn't great. Hopefully the next time around they'll make a solid film. The girl one I didn't even bother to watch, they misunderstood what Ghostbusters was. It's not a comedy, it's a horror movie with funny elements. They tried to make a comedy which made no sense in my view!

I'm usually not a fan of colorized coins like that, but I think this one was well and tastefully done. July kind of went out with a splat as far as crypto is concerned, didn't it?

July was a giant splat for crypto, I agree. Here's to a better August before the dreaded month of September!

Are you heading out camping this weekend?

Nope, home this weekend again. We have two more trips before school starts back up. We will probably try to get one or two fall trips in too before we winterize the trailer.

Sometimes it's better that way. Sure is less expensive and you just had one expensive trip!

Happy HPUD to you! The coin is really cool, just overpriced in my opinion... DUO is doing great, now that we got the dividends going out daily we're back to focusing on sales and growth.

It's a really beautiful coin, I don't think I agree that it's weird. Thanks for participating in HPUD on behalf of Hive.

It's a fun coin, I just think it's overpriced. HPUD is a great way to encourage everyone to invest in Hive, the more Hive staked means more stability in my view! Thanks!
