The amount of ways to earn hive have increased a lot, and also we have weeded out a lot of the drama and scams, so I think it's a more attractive place, but the entry point is a hurdle. The only issue is building some kind of trust and interest between new people and existing members. Easier said than done. I think once we get 10-15 core people who are working to spread hive in Japan it will happen naturally.
I hope we can meet to talk about it soon.
