Solana crowd is YOLO and we're thinkers ๐ who think too much before doing anything.
This morning coffee with a friend of mine led to that realization. Where I am from, Solana has grown pretty significant. You'd be surprised that things around here are pretty interesting, people do spend money, we just have to know how it appeals to them. From what I observed, Solana just sort of did it, they just move and bunch of extroverted folks all around that goes yolo towards their marketing. I guess we need to be a little YOLO but still responsible.
I've seen a lot about marketing ideas topic about hive getting thrown around. There are criticism towards it as well that I've raised some concerns too and while I know how stressful it can get, but yada yada, as long as hive gets exposure, right? Beats me but if you have valid ideas how to get people remotely interest to hive, let me know in the comment section.
Another thing that my friend reminded me about onboarding was that how it was marketed/introduced to others. Just by answering this particular question What does this space mean to you? would solve the half part of trying to convince others to spend their time and even resources here. So, I don't know about you but for me, I always see this space a part of me for better or worse. I grew up in this trenches and I am still here. I had a lot of projects way before hive and even during steemit days. For some reason, I was always shying away to things just because I had no confidence at all as well as I was still young and dumb. I mean, back then crypto was woo-woo shit. These days, it's massive and taxed too. I probably have said this a couple of times and not that that's relevant either.
TLDR; I have a sense of belonging around here.
I do want this space to get discovered more, as my friend said it, this is a safe space for introverts ๐ and for any creative person to thrive and find its voice. While I've seen some of the people that I used to know leave, I do hope their life now is a lot better as they find things that suit them better. I do miss the time when we all feel like this is a community that we'd love to spend time on or perhaps I haven't found that crowd that felt like the past. Perhaps, I should move forward too, taking up new challenges as well.
In the past, I infamously ask people around to downvote me. It was fun and I had no grudges over it or attempted to create a drama over those. If I get downvoted, it'll be just another day, my life moves on too because I believe I said what I said even more so these days. Isn't this what place supposed to be? where freespech reigns and you can say whatever you want even if others disagrees toward you?
I want to restore my faith to this place as I've seen people I know leave for all sorts of reason. I do want to feel like it's a space we used to believe in and for. Although maybe my voice don't matter much as much as others do but I want to make it matter. I am done with myself, pretty much and I found the biggest enemy and competition is myself. Not others and not anyone really.
I just feel like it's time for me to do it all again. To restore my faith, to find something challenging to do, and to make this space fun again, because if it isn't fun, why do things really?
For me, I recently found a character that truly resonate with my beliefs, it's this guy. It's literally my approach towards anything. Everything else is secondary. I also don't believe in NATO (no action talk only thingy).
That being said though, let me know if you thoughts/downvote/criticism.

I see. Solana is growing over in Venezuela as well. There was an event in my hometown last month, but I didn't attend because I had an interview the next day and was getting ready.
That point of the singularity of life in cryptoblogs is interesting. I keep doing a lot of the same things I set out to do years ago. More and more stuff has improved, but my need to feel I'm earning money while writing has gone down. Maybe it's because I'm too focused in building something to pay attention to votes and downvotes. But I'd feel the same about them. If they come, it's cool. If they don't, tomorrow is another day.
I met a Solana dev a few years ago when I was in Bali and it was still a small voice all round but now, they're growing. I've seen charity based projects that solana did and it thrived. We are like fourth most populous in the world and getting some exposure all around would honestly be great too. After all hive is listed in all exchanges here, just need more volume.
Then you're doing something fun around here just like I do ๐
I mean having fun is my non-negotiable in life.
๐ฏ
I got a few downvotes as far as I know and remember, and that is quite shocking and took my mind for a few days to find the answer for the downvote, but you are totally the opposite, asking for the downvotes. !LOLZ
Solana is doing really well, unfortunately, I didn't buy them when they were dumped quite a lot around a year ago or so.
I have the habit of calling the danger before it comes . I know fire is bad but I'll probably play with fire to know it's bad ๐and then when it comes, it's not surprising anymore and I learned better to avoid it or be fine with it.
Solana definitely went yolo. Whether it collapses or not remains to be seen lol.
We definitely need more and better marketing the challenge is stupid shit like value plan are seemingly the only drivers at the moment. I really hope this proposal doesnโt get funded itโs a complete disaster.
Hive is definitely an interesting place and I know we will get more users and exposure the more we just build our stuff up and make moves into other territories. India is a pretty significant market!
hahahaha yeah that's how it seemed to me. I don't agree at all with how marketing is run right now because technically you could upload everything online and even with receipts, they can be redacted if privacy was a concern. It's not rocket science and I wonder why they don't upload it on chain.
