Oh Dan...😉
I love these posts of yours. Not because I think most of the things you said here are true but rather because these posts show me that the 3speak token will do well.
You still tout this "decentralize everything" idea and the launch of the 3speak token will show you clearly thats nonsense. Decentralize some things.
If people see you commit to 3speak beyond what youve been doing so far, please, do compare the excitement,attention and hype that project receives compared to HIVE. You know why that will happen? Because you have a vision just like those you mentioned in this post.
Some of them successful, some of them less so.
People recognize and connect with that.
Those that create something here will never care as much about a "community project" (as you call it) like they will care about the project they lead. Their commitment will not be the same. This isnt a comparison, but if communism taught us anything its that people care more about whats "theirs then whats "everyone's".
When theres no one "in charge" in some way, responsibility for action is dissipated between stake holders so everyone does less, or almost nothing.
What's the primary difference between winners and losers? The winners do it.
All of this sounds wonderful for a motivational post but its not actually true. A lot of things differentiate a winner from a loser in this space. Skills, money, their friends, luck, intelligence, their starting point. So many factors.
Telling people "just do it" is a nice slogan for a shoe manufacturer but is hardly helpful because vast majority "cant do it". And you know that.
That is not nice to say, so no one does, but it is in fact true. What is true is that most of us, maybe even you, are sitting in crypto with our bags waiting for those that "cant do it" to come in and make us rich.
Ofc, that positivity if not helpful, still is positive and is why folks like you are more suited for a "community leader" and folks like me are not.
Thats funny though, isnt it... A leader folks will follow while you claim everyone can do what you can.😉
In conclusion id say that you have a much higher chance of convincing more people that 3speak will succeed than you ever could for HIVE.
Its human nature.
