Enjoyed this man, thanks so much.
What I have found the hardest part of 'promoting' Hive to people outside of this space is...They don't care about decentralization...Until they get smacked LOL
I see it all the time on Facebook specifically, people getting the 30 day bans...And then I just stick a Hive logo up and tell them, get in touch with me for more info LOLOL Seems like a sales pitch, but to me, I think I'm helping people with the future of social.
And like you mentioned, as soon as I discovered this place, I knew it was the tech for me as well...Way too many amazing things happening here for it to be ignored any longer.
Many people still do not care. They say how bad Facebook, Google, Twitter are, but they still do not start looking for alternatives, and even if you present a few to them, they find excuses not to use them. I am starting to believe that some people like to be censored and/or controlled by others.
I wonder hey...
but I have to believe that human beings are continually evolving. Perhaps the older generations were so used to the idea of being censored and centralized... for them this is their normal.
But I have to believe that the new and UPcoming generations won’t be happy with this version of “freedom”.
I think that’s why we have Bitcoin and Hive (as well as other crypto projects) in the first place.
These are constructive responses. Ways in which we communicate our values and vote for what we think the world should be like.
We throw ourselves into the gaps and we put skin in the game. That’s how the new generation is innovating and communicating what they think freedom is and how we should all evolve collectively.
Thank you for bringing this UP in the comments. I found it very interesting.

It all hinges on persuasion. The masses will do, say, or adopt just about anything for a master persuader. Unfortunately many of the most beneficial projects in the world are spearheaded by tragically unpersuasive humans. 🙏
There is a lot of blahhhhhhhh out there right now isn't there... All the easier for us to shine... I think that we can learn how to persuade people. I think that's what crypto is all about... Showing people a better way to human and doing it with value! 🙌
Exactly so, in a sea of blah, there's never been a bigger opportunity for people who master persuasion. Or at least those who are above average at it. 🙏

take a picture. post an artwork that no one has seen ever. post it on blockchain for the first time art has ever been online. 200 years later, the artificial intelligence will trace the photo or artwork back to the blockchain where it first posted. Thats a big deal. Art galleries have documents who owned Mona Lisa. but are the documents real? maybe. but no one can mess with blockchain till a far future guru deletes it all. Blockchains are probably printed on paper in case we have another trump who never heard of "facts".
