wow, buhay pa pala ang deviantart. Back when Flickr was for photography and Facebook was still starting.
It's not as good as it used to be after corporate greed accommodated AI art, now it's hard to be visible if you can't produce several iterations of art per day while maintaining quality.
Could there be other fundamental reasons during that time?
Hive is just following BTC and NFT hype, now it's just BTC. The fundamentals are bad and I could create a litany of why but there's no point spreading FUD. One can start with 8 years in existence with still no native smart contracts.
The SPL thing, yeah I think part of the counter was bot accounts getting turned off. I see Hive rally happening if BTC is strong but that's just the automated algos propping up the price.
pa-share na lang ng interesting blockchains to explore if meron hehe
