Hive simply needs to bring in more citizens. When people understand we are seeing the formation of a decentralized network-state, then they can be attracted to totality of what is built developed. This is not just some social media or blogging platform. It is much bigger than that.
Definitely... if people are genuinely interested in being a part of something special, it doesn't matter their physical location. They will change Hive, and Hive will change them.
