Now there are several reasons why you using this site. Some of you are here for the community and to talk to, and share information with, like-minded people. And some of you are here for the money (no shame in that, most of us would probably like some more money if we can get it).
I came for the money and stayed for the community. We have lost some users along the way but there is still a great bunch of people here. I'm hoping to see even more join and add to that community as well as bring back some of the old ones. I see thriving communities as a great way to add value to hive and keep people involved with the site.
Token price and engagement will be two huge factors for retaining users and building up hive. Backlinks are a smart way to increase our viability and I do follow @sidwrites. He has some very good posts and useful information. I might need to check a few of my older profiles and see if I can add a little bit more exposure.
Same here, i joined at the promise of real money, and even if the actual money is quite low its still more than i'll ever get out of facebook and co.
However I am really enjoying the interactions and conversations thus far, and I suspect the 'community' will be the reason I decide to stay in the end
You could spend 5 years on Facebook and never earn a cent. Even if you can get to $50 a month from hive I think it's a great opportunity. That's enough to buy something nice or pay your insurance for the year.
If the price rises at any stage that $50 can quickly become a $100 and if you build your account large enough you can earn just from voting good content. What's not to love. That and the fact that you can have fun while doing it is a win-win in my books. Three years down and I have no intention of leaving.
I want to see where we are in three more. Then ten more.
