Right on! Happy you found us and love what you bring to our corner of the web!
I agree with everything you say. That second last paragraph rings so true though. I've said in the past if you took the rewards away, and just offered the platform I wonder if more "normie" bloggers would try the platform. I think in some way crypto rewards hold us back. Which is weird to me, but seems true.
It's hard to explain this but if someone was just looking for a great easy to use blogging platform we have that. Throw crypto in the mix and things start getting confusing. Then add the illusion that they're going to start earning crypto for their posts and it converts to mere pennies at first until they build and grow can become a huge deterrent or disappointment. Then they stop posting before they even give themselves enough time to grow here. This is one of the reasons community engagement is important to help keep newbs motivated and inspired. The joy of engagement and being acknowledged can be a huge reward in that regard.
Then there's also the whole fact of cashing out. Now they have to learn about a cryptocurrency exchange and in some cases may need to convert HIVE to BTC on one exchange, then BTC to fiat on another. That's a lot to take in for someone new! Especially someone who just wants to blog about the three toed tree sloth of new guinea or something similar and doesn't care anything about crypto.
In this regard I think HIVE is light years ahead of anything out there. It's also one of the major setbacks we face when onboarding new users who aren't into crypto.
IDK I may have gotten off track here, but thanks for the comment. I totally agree.
I think thats quite an insightful thing to say about the crypto holding folk back, and actually acting as a barrier to engagement because of the perceived slow progress. Going to have a think about that! :)
And yeah - cashing out is a 'mare for anyone not versed in using exchanges.
But these are challenges to be overcome, not showstoppers... ;)
Absolutely, couldn't agree more!
