BRO NEWSPAPER | ISSUE 18 | 2022

We try to keep you informed about the tribes which we have invested in with Brofund, since you, as a BRO-Holder, have also indirectly invested in those projects. Due to this, it's possible that you will see some tribes often, and others not at all. This hasn't got anything to do with the tribe itself, or that these tribes are not active. It's only because of the fact that we have not (yet) invested in these projects. Since @raymondspeaks is always on the lookout for projects on Hive-Engine to possibly support, this can change from week to week.

^{We have decided not to include more than 3 projects per week in the Bro Newspaper. This makes it easier for you to read, and you don't get an excessive amount of information. If I were you, I would pay close attention to those three projects, because they could become very interesting in the short run. For now, let's just say that your time and attention could pay for itself!}

Hello BROs!

Welcome on yet another Sunday. It's already May and summer seems to have begun here on this side of the globe. While Bitcoin is a clown and tries to pull the entire market down, we also see positive developments. Take a look at BRO for example. We don't see any red numbers there at the moment. And I can still find a few more projects that are not so bad. In fact, they are just strong right now. Are you curious yet? We are ready to share the most important and hottest news from Hive, and sometimes even outside of Hive with you. Are you ready? Let's dive right in!

TRIBE & PROJECT NEWS

THE MANCAVE

As usual, we're starting the paper with the latest update from The Mancave, and that's a very interesting one this week. Our Ray has launched the Bro Paper. And of course you are all interested in that! I can tell you a lot about the contents of the Bro Paper, but... you already know it, don't you? I'm not going to do that at all. In my opinion, it is far too important that YOU, as an investor in BRO, read the Bro Paper yourself. Plus, Ray has put so much effort into making it look great. I don't want to undermine that work by quickly discussing the content.

Okay, I can give you a little shortcut to some of the content. If you really don't have that much time right now, and still want to read the Roadmap. Then you can find that shortcut here.

I would have loved to tell you that you could listen to the Broshow in which Ray tells a lot more about the Bropaper and the Roadmap, but unfortunately that fun is canceled this week. While Ray has done a great job with the Bropaper, he still needs some practice with all of his recording gear. Hopefully better next time!

Since you already have enough to read with the Bro Paper, I'll leave it at that for The Mancave. But that doesn't mean there isn't more reading material to come. Because the next tribe also has an update that is more than worth reading.

The next tribe has been around for about 5 months now and thought it was time to provide you all with a report. Did you already get it? We are of course talking about;

ONEUP

Oneup Cartel was launched in December 2021. And you can say that this was a launch that had a lot of impact. Much more than the team could have even dreamed of. Oneup Cartel was very well received by the community. And within the first 3 months, Oneup Cartel had sold $50K USD.

This could be invested! And they did. Profits have only been taken on 2 games. And then we're talking about very small profits. We all know that Oneup is still in the phase of acquiring assets. This is still the build-up phase and not the time to start thinking about profits. Oneup Cartel is for the long term!

To give you an insight into what happened to your investment, @flauwy has written and published a very detailed report. I would suggest that everyone reads this. You get an insight from the Oneup Cartel Founder himself, and see exactly what has happened since the launch of Oneup Cartel. After reading this you also have an idea of what to expect ... and that looks really good!

Do you sometimes feel that you can no longer keep up with all the tribe tokens? That you hardly get any tokens from curation because you simply don't have enough voting power to curate each tribe individually? Not to mention the time it takes! Curation is not just handing out a 100% vote to the first post you see. There's a lot more to it, and the good news for all of you is that Oneup Cartel is thinking about that! That they are taking this job out of your hands. Oneup Cartel has now set up curation accounts for most tribe tokens. You delegate, they do the job! How passive do you want it to be? Updating your delegation is all you need to keep track of. Of course make sure you delegate to the right account. Check that in the report before you start delegating enthusiastically!

And last but not least! You can find a ... ROADMAP in this report. Again, I'm not going to spoil the fun, but if you didn't have Cartel yet? You might wanna get it right after reading the exciting things to come!

@Flauwy and his team are going for it! Are you also there?

Now we've talked about a tribe for the (wo)men of Hive, we looked into a tribe that stands for the games, and now it's time to look into a project that is busy with creating in the real world, funded by crypto. It's time to talk about;

ECOBANK

@ecoinstant has bought land in Colombia where a hotel will be built. With funds from his crypto investors. I will not go into the benefits that it entails if you have invested in this. @ecoinstant has clearly described all of that. What I can tell you is that a final update has now been released about his project. Pre-sale will end soon. Which, of course, also means that Ecoinstant and his team of young passionate locals will be progressing with their work.

Ecoinstant's ideals are clear, and the opportunities are there. Where it has always been the intention to build a hotel on the 20 hectares of land, the opportunity has now come to buy 50% in an existing hotel. This provides new opportunities where income can be generated immediately, and that new income can of course help in building the new hotel. It can speed up the whole process quite a bit.

In this update, Ecoinstant will update you on everything he's been working on, what he's working on now, and what his plans are for the future. It also becomes clear that if this pre-sale ends, the tokens will never be for sale at this price again. You have a few days left to buy a share in this project for the absolute floor price of $1.10 per token. Will you become a co-investor and co-owner of a hotel, a tourist center, and much more in Colombia? Are you going on holiday in Colombia with your earned commissions to see with your own eyes what you are co-owner of? The possibilities are there... Read the final update from @ecoinstant / @ecobank! It's now or never!

At the special request of @raymondspeaks you will receive another bonus this week! BROs support women! And the next project revolves around 1 woman. Let's take a look at;

RAVENCOIN

3 months ago @ravenmus1c launched her Ravencoin. And for everyone who has seen this, but is wondering what Ravencoin does. And what it can mean for you, here's a short explanation.

All buyers, and by that I mean holders can expect certain benefits for holding Ravencoin in their wallet. If you like music, Ravencoin is a good choice! In the future, depending on the amount of Ravencoin in your wallet, you can expect airdrops, behind-the-scenes photos and song snippets. But that is not everything! You will also have the opportunity to participate in pre-sales of major NFT projects that Raven is currently working on.

The holders are divided into 3 Tiers, and each Tier is entitled to different benefits. One just a little more than the other. Explaining the whole concept here is going too far, but don't worry! Raven has written an extensive blog herself, and if you are interested in a project what was conceived by a female artist with a clear vision for the future, Ravencoin is the project you should definitely check out.

Our fearless leader @raymondspeaks has faith in Raven and Ravencoin. And that is evident from the fact that Ray has bought a Diamond Tier for the BROs. If we do it, we do it good!

This entitles @brofund to all the benefits you can get for holding Ravencoin

• Animated $RAVENcoin NFT on Wax
• Diamond-Badge NFT on Wax
• Free airdrops of my favorite Hive-based tokens
• Free animated NFT drops on Atomichub
• Free song snippets or upcoming songs
• Free "behind the scenes" material
• pre-emptive right to purchase big NFT-projects like videos and new songs
• Physically shipped merchandise and surprises

^{And now no arguing who will receive what from this big surprise package in the future!}

Before you all go crazy, we quicly move on to get some action in your Sunday. Time for you to grab your keyboard and pick one of the;

CONTESTS & CHALLENGES

Before you participate, check the announcement blog so that you see what the rules are.

• Weekend Engagement with @galenkp

I don't want to overflow the BRO Newspaper with contests, so if you want to find more, go ahead. There are plenty that I didn't mention here. But for us it's time to see if there's some juicy gossip to share.

DID YOU KNOW THAT;

• I always thought that @acidyo was a boy, but looking at this tweet I'm starting to have some doubts.
  
  

• @xawi even when she is sick is still one of the best Splinterlands players on the blockchain. That she is so serious about Splinterlands, and her loyalty to @neoxian. That even when she is sick she is still playing and is able to win Splinterlands tournaments!
  Congrats @xawi, that's the spirit! But think about your own health, there is only one Xawi! Tournaments are back next week.
  
  

• @stickupboys is named as Project Management in the newly published Bro Paper! Actually, they themselves had asked to be called Trouble Makers.
  Would this be self-knowledge? For the time being it really seems that they are doing something very well ... I'll leave you guessing exactly WHAT they do well.
  
  

• @jongolson arranges for his CTP project together with @blainejones that everyone can now tip CTP, and get tipped ... Great job Guys, but now don't forget to spread the CTP love around Jon!

• @freedomxists is very bullish about BRO! He just doesn't have a BRO yet. He just has to find the right buying moment.
  Uhm BROs be warned, if you read bad news, it's not true! Freedomxists is probably just looking for a dip in the BRO price then.
  
  

I'll leave it at this for this week. Next week, new gossips!

So let's have a look at the news that is relevant to each and every one of us. And that's the:
