Interesting article, enjoyed reading your thoughts, couple of things that struck me
Could someone use their Facebook, Instagram or Google account to join the marvellous crypto platform
I shun these places, who really wants to see pictures of someones dog/baby/what they are having for tea, posted to get a cosy warm feeling when they get a thumbs up. I know a couple of fb users who my guru onboarded, they lasted about a month, because they were too lazy to put in the effort to entertain and amuse people on here....yet I believe they still inhabit the cia website looking for that instant warmth. To my mind a Hivian is of a different mindset, dedicated and happy to engage. Difficult to find, are we aliens?
I think that a product like blockchain needs to be made simple
yes please, as someone who doesn't have an interest in technology it is rather complex. As for crypto and what to do? way above my pay scale.
need three books: "JARGON/ACRONYM Buster for dummies" "hive blockchain for dummies" "crypto for dummies"
Ho Hum
As funny as it might sound I do believe that a book crypto for dummies is not a bad idea after all lol. When it comes to mass adoption complicated things have a difficult time to enter the market. I guess it depends on where do you want to go and how big the vision is. I understand your view on the social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram, yet they have the biggest database with active users. Do most people use the platforms for an ego boost or to entertain others or to forget about their real life ? Of course. But that is not the point. Some people enter the supermarket to buy food and make a great life out of it and some enter to buy alcohol and ruin their lives. The supermarket does not care . The supermarket just is. The goal of it is to get as many people and to retain them as clients. Should the blockchain be any different if it wants to be useful for the people?
Nice analogy re supermarkets.
It would be interesting but virtually impossible to get a census of hive members by age group, I bet there are virtually no millennials or gen Z ( I want it yesterday, without having to put in the effort) types, as opposed to mature types who believe that you get rewarded for the efforts you put into life. Old Skool.
Hard work pays dividends, I reckon
