Interesting read :) Appreciate the effort!
That said, I have seen a lot of diferent takes on Hive and its purpose troughout the years, different people trying to put it in a box, but it seems that it just doent fit in one box.
Hive is a lot of things and it is diferent thing to difernt people and it keeps evolving with time. Slowly, but surely. Today it is diferent that it was one year ago and much diferent then two years ago. I bet the next year it will be slightly diferent as well.
I agree here. Even to a same user Hive has changed through the years. I started soonish, then left, then returned as a player, then enjoyed like one year very active in socials, then spent like 1 year just lurking, then Im using it less intense but as a perma-tab in my browser... It is a solid blockchain, more than 95% other projects can say. At this point I'm not even looking for moon, it has been part of my life for so long.
Well hopefully I inspire people to think a little more critically on what it does, and how to best help it grow.
