Happy Sunday everyone! Those Hive prices just keep creeping up on the chart, I'm not exactly sure why, as Bitcoin isn't doing anything new. You won't hear me complaining though! It's nice to see Hive making some positive price movements.
Once again it's time for the good old weekly giveaway post. This past week we had a lot of participants, not quite a new record, but close. There were 50 of you who entered, I think the record was 53, so not too far off. As the giveaway is getting more popular, I may need to add in new prize this next week. I'll have to look over my tokens and figure out which one to go with!
I started this little giveaway 71 weeks ago, and I never thought it would have lasted this long. My main objective is to help others grow their Hive accounts and also give back to the community that has been so generous with me over the last two and a half years when I started posting here. I'm glad you're all still enjoying the contest, and as long as you do I'll keep it running.
As the number of participants has increased I've been adding prizes and bonus spins to make it more likely that everyone will have a chance to win. I want to take a moment to thank @alohaed and @beelzael for being kind enough to sponsor some HSBI prizes for the winners of the regular spins number two through five. I really do appreciate your support!
And as always I want to leave more information on the other tokens that are up as prizes as well so you can check them out. I'm invested in both of these projects pretty heavily, just a disclaimer!
For more information on CCD tokens, they are the currency from @cryptocompany created by @powerpaul . Check out the website: https://cryptocompany.ceo/

Now for the summary of last week's responses on your favorite flavor of ice cream:
Chocolate Ice Cream
thespruceeats.com
The overwhelming favorite this past week was chocolate ice cream. Seventeen of you picked this one, and it's easy to understand why, it's good! As I've gotten older I tend to like variations on chocolate, like dark chocolate or something mixed in. It's always going to be favorite in my opinion. Thanks to @gatet , @lumpiadobo , @monsterbuster , @hive-116692 , @florakese , @holdeck2 , @kungfukid , @cumanauta , @henruc , @flummi97 , @bigorna1 , @cositav , @ronnie10 , @dewabrata , @chaosmagic23 , @katriel1 and @roswelborges for this flavor recommendation!
Vanilla Ice Cream
ar.inspiredpencil.com
The number two choice overall was vanilla ice cream. You may think it sounds kind of plain or boring, but some custom vanilla can be really good. It typically isn't my go to, but it is a favorite on many of you. I really like it with chocolate cake, it's a great blend of flavors! Thanks for this recommendation to @gatet , @ladymisa , @ckjcn22 , @ivyann , @dubble and @hafiz34 . You notice @gatet twice, they couldn't decide between chocolate and vanilla.
Rum and Raisin
insidehook.com
This one really surprised me coming in number three. Rum and raisin ice cream can be really good, although I admit it has been a long time since I've had it. Or for that matter, even seen it. But for three of our participants it was their favorite! Thank to @yusmelys , @doombot75 and @whywhy . Great choice!
Pistachio Ice Cream
thegreedyvegan.com
This is an ice cream that is really good, especially the Italian version. It's a reliably great flavor and I like to have it myself every now and again. Thanks to @geneeverett t and @rainbowdash4l for this great recommendation!

Unless you live in Scotland near my friend @tengolotodo you probably won't ever be able to try this one. It sure looked good so I had to share it. Doesn't it look good? Thanks @tengolotodo !
Vanilla With Chips
From @freed99
This one I haven't tried personally but looks really good as well. I've had something similar in the past but not this particular one. Doesn't it look good? Thanks @freed99 for the recommendation and picture!

Now for today's entry question...
If you could have any car in the world, what is your ultimate dream car?
The Giveaway
I will be giving out one prize of five (5) HSBI. Second and Third prizes will be 1.5 DUO tokens, the token I recently launched with @bulliontools and @bitcoinman . It offers those who stake sufficient tokens daily curation on quality posts, dividends, and a tipping bot. It also helps to onboard and retain new Hive members. At the end of the post there is a link to the white paper and where to purchase the tokens. Fourth prize is 100 BBH tokens. Fifth prize will be 250 CCD tokens. Sixth prize is 10 ARCHON tokens. To participate you need a reputation level of at least 25 and bots cannot win. And please one entry per person to make it fair to everyone.
I currently have sponsors who also kick in some HSBI units to the second, third, fourth, and fifth regular spin winners. None on the bonus spins. The sponsors can still enter the giveaway, however, if they happen to win on one of the spins they sponsor I will re-spin the wheel for another winner. You can't sponsor HSBI units to yourself!
If you would like to be placed on a weekly reminder list just let me know and I'll make sure you get tagged each week.

How to Enter
Every week this will change. I'm looking for engagement rather than just saying "I am in". There is no need to upvote or re-blog, although if you choose to do so I would appreciate it. This week's question is: What is your ultimate dream car?
HSBI
If you are unfamiliar with the prize you can learn more here:

Choosing the Winners
All valid entries will be placed on the Wheel of Names and I will spin it four times. The first prize will be 5 HSBI units. The second and third prize will be 1.5 DUO tokens. Fourth prize will be 100 BBH tokens. Fifth prize will be 250 CCD tokens. Sixth prize will be 10 ARCHON tokens. And since I am spinning the same wheel four times in a row it is theoretically possible for the same person to win all four prizes! Although I have yet to see it happen, maybe this week?
Deadline
One week from today which will be Sunday July 27, 2025 at 8 A.M. California Pacific Time.
Now to choose last week's lucky winners!
