Great post man. Till now, I have only seen people rage against anyone who takes out hive to sell it.
You see the exact reason what's cool and what's not.
Also, I have seen a lot of people not selling any hive/steem for the last couple of years, and accumulate to 30-40k hp. That won't make much of a difference to a person from a developed country but it makes difference to people in underdeveloped countries.
Like, I am from India, and 100-200$ won't make much of difference in my lifestyle but accumulating 30-40k hive power for 2-3 years of efforts. Even at this price is worth doing it.
So, I am pretty sure that once people realize this thing. And they are not dependent on hive for their expenses or something. They will definitely start accumulating.
If someone puts effort into content and cares about the relationships they make here, I don't see any reason anyone should get angry at them. There should be a bit more literacy in how tokens work and I hope every CARES about what they bring to the ecosystem.
It’s definitely early for masses of people to earn a living from hive but if hive based projects all bring new people into the ecosystem, it gets easier and easier to support that.
You've got a perfect attitude. Now is the time to be stacking if you can afford to.
Good to see you here again.
I have made a lot of friends from here. Especially from my country, if not international.
The only thing that puts me off hive for months is non availability of good content.
I mean, sure there are 3-5 people who consistently put effort to create good content. But other than that, it's been a lot of years. And still there isn't much variety here.
For instance, nothing about comedy, fun or memes, pranks etc. The content which puts life in most of social media platforms.
I am sure, if the content problem of this platform is sorted out, there will be no reason to worry about money(earning or accumulating in the long term). It will take care of itself.
What puts me off again and again from crypto platforms is how slowly they bleed and die. Like steemit. Then when I joined hive, I got into dCity. It was going good for the last 6-8 months.
But now, it's slowly bleeding to death.
I will be more than happy if hive evolves to a successful decentrlised platform in the next 5-10 years(Either as a creator or a content consumer). But looking at a lot of whales, large account, most of them are either lying dormant or powering down.
Maybe it's just a shift of power from investors to content creators. Where content creators slowly accumulate hivepower. And some investors slowly takes out there share.
Anyways, I was reading your posts. And you have definitely evolved a lot in these years. Keep going strong! You are doing great as a content creator.(example, this post, which looked at an issue with a different perspective).😀
