Here is where I disagree with most. People keep talking about Hive. What are they even talking about? It is a network. That is all.
Yeah I've read your stuff before saying this and of course I agree. I'm not exactly saying Hive is a business but that, in order to grow, it needs to be treated in the same kind of way. There needs to be someone who wants to see it grow and who will take major financial action for it to do so.
It's not just gonna grow by magic. It's not gonna go viral after just the right tweet by the right person and burst into the mainstream zeitgeist.
We could double down on 'its just a network' and say it has no desire to grow, the very concept of asking it to is wrong... but then well, what's even the point in being here for anyone? I think everyone here wants to see Hive grow, become mainstream, become valuable, become implemented into numerous front-ends and lifestyles.
The only way it could ever become part of a wider ecosystem of web3 or whatever, is if someone who is already here, who is still passionate and well-funded, comes up with a massively successful idea orders of magnitude beyond anything like splinterlands (which is just a bot farm as far as I can tell).
I wish I was that person but, like everyone else here, I'm not an entrepreneur, as much as I've tried. Maybe Acidyo's holozing?
(Edited to cut down on size)
There are a lot of initiatives that are moving in that area. Sure, Holozing is one. I do not follow it closely so I cannot comment on the game or prospects for success. @simplegame is building an entire Web 3.0 platform that has potential. There is the latest spend2earn with an app evidently built to help that initiative. There is the lightning network integration.
These are just a few off the top of my head that appeared in the last few months.
