Even though I have very little respect for this guy as a person and a business owner, free promotion is always welcome.
He had a lot of controversies in the past and I'm not sure how much of his influence is actually left in the crypto space. He has been dumping on his followers, he is known for doing anything for money and I remember that last year a writer had a hard time getting paid for the work that got published under Ivan's name with no compensation for the writer.
Highly doubt that he wrote this one but whoever did is great at understanding Hive, there is no question about it. I even learned a thing or two just from reading that article.
Don't want to be the guy that can't even enjoy a piece of good news but I felt the need to point out the obvious.

Oh man well that's not shocking to read. Lots of people with high followers will shill anything for money sadly.. Sometimes any news is good news! I'd take this guys write up instead of news of another Justin Sun type shit lol

We actually leveraged the Justin Sun situation for gain. It is also part of our history that can be revisited and put forth. Imagine if it does eventually get made into a movie.
These are the events that can be captures in video or in a blog post and used for even greater exposure.
I think that is a piece that many miss.

That all might be true but I come from the school publicity is publicity. He is still a big name and the article does cover Hive well. It is something that we can leverage and push out there. I am going to send out about half a dozen emails to some bloggers who were recently demonetized. The link to that article will be included in it.
Leverage all we can even if the person being leveraged is a bit tarnished.

Couldn't agree more. I just spend too much time in this space and can't forget the bad things that went down over the years.
I don't mind leveraging this as a great opportunity. If anything the JS event you mentioned is proof that any situation can end up on a positive note if you manage it correctly.

Yeah.
By the way, I am not disagreeing with the main premise of your comment. There is no doubt that the "crypto influencers" do not do much for the industry, yet a lot for themselves. The fact they talk about Web 3.0, crypto, blockchain, while living in the Web 2.0 world is the epitome of hypocrisy in my opinion.
That said, people do follow them and pay attention to what they say for whatever reason. To me, the insight provided on Leofinance and Hive about crypto is much greater since it is done by people living it.

This is the only reason why I can't stomach anything they have to say. So many great things are built on the blockchain and you are still using a centralized service because it brings in more money and requires less effort.
They found an easy way out I guess.
I feel like it's the same people that are desperately looking for hope wherever they can. I spent enough time on Reddit and Twitter to learn that not even 1% of crypto investors actually invested what they can afford to lose.
When the markets are down even Ivan on Tech and Bitboy are a viable source if they are calling for a pump. Occasionally they will put out great pieces of content like now but those moments are truly rare.
Again, no reason for us to not play the reverse card and leverage their "success" for our own cause.

Bitboy. Had to look that one up.
I thought I heard of him. Turns out I did. He was making some obscene Ethereum calls earlier in the year (more like $40K instead of $4k).

You are missing out on pure gold good sir.

the fact he didn't load it with a lot of tech terms makes it an excellent overview for normies. I just shared it on my FB profile with a tag to a friend who was asking me about the chain.
I am not a fan of his either and I feel very stressed watching his videos. I also don't like how he raves about a project and then makes a complete 180 and then talks trash about them. Either way, I do think it's a net positive for HIVE and another notch on a very long belt

This guy sounds like a nasty piece of work.
