When I'm trying to explain Hive to people who don't really get crypto or see it as "a get rich quick scheme" or who have read some bad news about Bitcoin and think ALL crypto is the same, I explain that Hive is like a co-op.
If we all were stakeholders/workers in a co-op grocery, for example, we'd all want to do good work and help the grocery succeed, which would benefit us all. Maybe our stake in the company varies depending on our job/pay rate, but we're still all in it together and benefit if the grocery does well. Hive is the same. It isn't like other cryptos where you have to "pay to play" or "have money to make money," though you can certainly do that if you have the resources. However, Hive is also of benefit to people like me who had no spare money to invest going in and I built up my account slowly through posting, curating, and the like.
It's truly of benefit to all of us if Hive does well, and people without fiat resources to spare can still participate and help make that happen.

The low barrier for entry is one of the biggest bonus points the platform has. I believe we're really lucky to have discovered it early, and hopefully by the time it gets really popular we'd have solid enough stakes to really benefit
