I totally agree that Hive's strength is in community. It came into being because we wouldn't tolerate someone trying to own and control the community. We didn't hardfork because of 3 second feeless transactions. The community wanted the split and supported it so our community and everything else could continue as the decentralized (truly decentralized) chain it is.
I've stopped many a crypto complainer during this bear market who will get on a rant about "why would anyone invest in crypto?" with a response of "I don't have to invest in crypto, I earn it and build an investment".. I earn it through participating in a community. The investment aspect is an added bonus.
