Nice, I agree! Thank you for expanding your reply in this post.
I have received HIVE or HBD as a salary for almost four years, but here in Mexico, I cannot find places to spend it directly. I can pay for services offered by Hivers, and I've done that.
Having circular economies would be a great way to keep the value within Hive.
If they accept Bitcoin, they accept HIVE. I've been to a few places in Mexico City that accept bitcoin over Lightning. They can be a bit tricky to find sometimes though. No matter what people say, we're still early. The thing is not to lose this mindset. Doing business in web3 is outside of government jurisdiction and thus can't be taxed. This should be incentive enough for more businesses to build on web3.
