While the blogging platform will always be important, Hive's real long term value is as a decentralised backend for the future internet.
Secure single sign-in to everything you need online with consumer portability of data between competing front-ends of everything from games to podcasting to blogging to finance.
That is the future of Hive - the future back-end of the entire new internet.
You and I are living this right now and whenever I have to interact with the legacy internet it is so frustrating, slow, insecure and annoying.
Most people will just see Hive via peakd, ecency, liketu etc. I assume thousands just use Splinterlands and don't even know they could blog with the same account. Having a single account for different purposes opens lots of possibilities and I hope people will find that out. I'm excited to see what else can be done with it.
Unfortunately (For me), I just see it as a blogging platform. 🤷♂️
