Wow! What a comment @valued-customer. A lot to pick through here. I can’t even begin to reply here . I don’t think I am educated enough around the whole thing . I do tend to agree with you around if we need a marketing arm. Maybe a fund for organising the likes of Hivefest and dealing with exchanges . How was that done on Steem back in the day? but then I think would this become just the same. I don’t know the answer . I had a job once sourcing materials and I was given a carte blanche on spending . Middle Eastern jobbie. Now I work for a family who want be to source similar materials but at the best price. It was a massive learning curve for me and dealing in a world of kick backs and bribes it was very interesting but I’m paid well so it’s not in my interests . My whole reasoning for this post is I can see we are being made a fool of . Now this is not the fault of the project managers . These guys are probably all devs earning nice money so they don’t think twice about giving a user 6k for merch for an event. I’d be sacked if I approved a contractor 6k for merch for an event. Anyway I’m rambling. I appreciate your excellent comment and I am concerned about your synopsis . But I have to say . We are likely to go the way that you are predicting than to the moon. Buffett wouldn’t touch crypto. Maybe he’s right.

These aren't so much marketing Hive to new users, as they are encouraging retention of users by the celebrations of Hive at Hivefest, and enabling ramps to fiat for their use.
Now I understand the meaning of your Hive moniker. You have experience dealing with kickbacks through your jobbing with carte blanche, where that is often the difference between getting the necessities or not. Sometimes you just need to grease the skids that the stuff they need brings to the client.
I deeply appreciate your restrained approach to bringing this matter to our attention.
Thanks!
