I have never been able to get a job for a blockchain related company
This was very surprising to hear. A resume like yours is extremely good. I only touched cryptosphere in 2017.
BLURT is doing somewhat okay and there are many authors from South Asia. Steemit is somehow doing good with web traffic. HIVE should be able to manage fine because of all the development we are seeing around. My fear is that some new Web 3 social media project with VC money and fancy marketing will take most of the marketshare.
I feel second hand frustration about many of the things you have gone through. The only way out for HIVE to get back in Top 100 is to onboard as many DAPP developers as possible and take marketing seriously.
I compare some of the stuff to other projects that are fighting through a similar type thing from a different angle. Telos and WAX are two projects I look at that have a lot of positive things going on but have slipped way down in the rankings.
STEEM Has a Tremendous War Chest that isn't hardly being used. $4,664,052 X $2.41 (SBD) = $11,240,365. Not using it and not developing much and STEEM is in a similar position. Kind of strange yet interesting.
I ended up putting up a marketing proposal.
