This has been built not because some corporate entity is allowing it. It has been built because individuals have invested their time, talents, energy and funds into building on the Hive blockchain. They see the value, the potential and have invested their commitment.
THIS. It's rare to see something built by the people for the people that isn't a top-down system exploiting others. Sure, there are whales, but there are incentives for curation and programs to help newcomers succeed.
This is a great article highlighting some of the strengths of the Hive ecosystem. Glad to see it being shared on Medium as well as the blockchain.
Thanks Katrina. I'm writing them for the Medium audience in that I'm assuming they are not crypto literate but thought they might be helpful here on Hive as well.
