I have been on both sides as a one time staker that now leans towards selling. I have over 35 years experience in the equities markets, so I cant ignore that. I was a proud believer that brought over a fair share of folks from other platforms. Now I am more skeptical and never mention Hive to anyone, yet I still manually curate and enjoy posting.
I still think the censorship resistance we have is our biggest selling point, but in spite of everything we 2.0 social media has done to harm their users, most people aren't ready yet. And the antics of some users here who shall not be named doesn't help.
