Thanks for the post.
I don't share your angle on the data, correct me if I'm wrong, your take is one of disappointment that SPS holders hold so little Hive ?
I think the amounts of Hive held by those players is pretty decent, if we are to assume that their main interest is in playing a TCG. I'd go so far as to say that it's a lot considering you do not really need more than a few Hive for RC (if you are dong a bit of renting etc.).
You give the aim of 10K Hive as considered the starting goal. That is for someone who is "into" Hive and it is not natural to assume that someone playing a TCG will "get into" Hive.
Go get this bleed over from SPL into Hive is very good really, and I believe the numbers are good. ( and sure more is always better)
I consider myself an average example of humankind, so my case study may have value.
I joined SPS in late 2021, very crypto ignorant, but wanting to learn more, I followed the P2E wave, enjoyed the game, committed on the future thesis of SPL and since then I've slowly become more familiar with Hive, first for Hive Engine and getting SPS, DEC for the game, then to bring fiat into SPL via LTC, and gradually over time I've explored more projects and learned a bit more about Hive.
My HP is about 1,500 and that really has no bearing on my SPL life, it's come from a slow intro.
My point is this, SPL is contributing a lot to Hive already I feel with ppl like me having HP who otherwise would never have even come across Hive.
OK, my stake is tiny compared to some, but I'm growing it, which again is interesting , as my focus is SPL.
One final observation, everything I learned about Hive was an uphill struggle, I collected bits and pieces of information from people who were kind enough to reply to my questions in comments etc. , things many experienced Hivers take for granted, like understanding what powering up and delegation are and how they work, the whole HBD thing ( learned about that from your interview on ppls guild). The ecosystem is full of jargon and assumed knowledge, very hard to understand from a cold start
Suffice is to say, I think you are putting the cart before the horse here.
There is a lot to unpack here: I will try some bullets
I believe, just like you said, that if people help each other, we can more forward in a better way.
Let me say one more thing, if you just copy-paste this as a post, it can be a good post worthy of many upvotes!
Many thanks for being here and helping the ecosystem grow. If you have any question please ask me.
Nice concise reply, thanks!
One of these fine days I'll get round to writing something, trouble is I'm not particularly imaginative :-)
I may take you up on your offer of an explanation when I next come across something that is confusing me, be prepared for some basic questions, or, hey!, maybe I'll formulate my questions into posts so all can benefit from any replies.... now that's got me thinking !
Exactly my point. Imagination is overrated :)
Conversation is underrated!
