Because it's not hype. It's real, leaderless technology that is changing the way we think about value, money, community and true account ownership. Sounds simple, but that statement has profound implications.

Profound Implications? How?

Value Exchange:
If you truly bring value to the hive ecosystem you will get value in return. This is an alternative to renting your time in exchange for fiat. As seen in @l337m45732's video on X: we are witnessing the start of merchant acceptance of $HBD and $HIVE

Censorship resistance: What you publish on the HIVE blockchain will live on the blockchain forever. It is not subject to the oversight of Meta, Google or X executives.

That's something very unique

Decentralized, leaderless community: We are thousands of individuals in different parts of the world who came together voluntarily to form the HIVE Network state. We decide, we build, we change; together.

and we must be careful the side effects technology might offer

well it gave me my first break at a time in my life i did not have that many options. For this i am eternally grateful to the platform and community.
