I wonder when this will change, when there will be a suitable amount here that compensates for changing over. I am guessing we need about 20 million more real accounts before it starts having its own gravity and growing just through being popular enough.
That figure sounds credible.
I am very surprised there aren't more here now.
So am I. Can an early adopter mentality really be this rare?
I think there are people who are willing to talk about a lot, but they get disillusioned posting about it and not getting engagement - even though many don't actually engage with others, as there isn't a lot of chance for gain in that. I am hoping with a few more people and some decent communities, this might change.
Communities are crucial. But until the user base grows significantly, I will have to treat Hive as a place to talk mainly about Hive and the wider cryptosphere. It's very different on the giant platforms. If you go to the right Facebook groups or Quora spaces, you'll have people jumping from left, right and center willing to talk about whatever you want to talk about at that time. But I'm more than willing to look past that on Hive. Now we have to get this thing to grow.
