I have seen the drama one angry person and one rude person can create together.. This isn’t really what this is about... what it’s about? I’ll spell it out to in in short hand here since I have already spent enough time with this specific problem today.
This is about maintaining Hive’s integrity (yes) but doing it in a way that also preserves the marketable friendliness of this blockchain.
An example of why this is important?
I’ll use myself as an example...
I have been in business for well over 10 years. Having sold my business and invested half my Bitcoin in Hive over the course of 4 years... it wasn’t long before I realized that Hive needed all hands on deck. Before that I was busy building my fitness business on the blockchain but something strange happened... nothing! 😆 (and it wasn’t for lack of trying... I’m a certified personal trainer with over 10 years of experience in both fitness and business!)
So I took my focus away from making Hive a destination and instead poured myself into promoting Hive along side @nathanmars on Twitter. We worked day and night to promote Hive and I even started shooting LIVE fitness video on YouTube as well! Whatever I could do to get the word out about Hive.
That’s when I found out about all the unfriendly methods in which Hive’s integrity was being maintained...
I couldn’t believe my eyes and ears!
How could I continue to promote Hive when unfriendly fires were burning on my very door step?!
So back I came to see what I could do...
I threw myself into the gaps on Twitter... so why not also try to do something to encourage Hive towards friendly outcomes? Hive is my home after all... I have my entire family in here and many of my friends too!
I had to clean up the figurative glass that was everywhere?
How could I even think about building a business that would last 20 years in the context of this social environment?!
No we had to do better than all those social2.0’s that had come before...
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity... for us all!
And so I doubled back to see what I could do.
And good, bad, or ugly... that’s what I’m here to do.
Even if someone is wrong or has done wrong... how we handle these sorts of situations need to be dealt with the utmost care and careful thought.
Our brand, our communities, our future competitive edge... it’s all at stake.
And so if you zoom out... there’s far far more going on here than meets the eye... I hope that you understand.
Woo!
