Hello Hivers, this is my first post on Hive. I have always been a low-profile member of the blockchain-based social blogging community since the days of Steemit.
A Little Introduction
I am Jayson, a cryptocurrency enthusiast and advocate from Malaysia. I started investing in cryptocurrency when my best friend introduced me to the crypto space back in 2017. After the bull run ended, I have co-founded three crypto-related companies and failed in the first two ventures.
Currently, I am the co-founder and community manager of a crypto-centric social media platform called TORUM. It is meant to be a central social gathering platform for cryptocurrency enthusiasts and blockchain technologists in the future.
How I Found Hive?
Everything begins when Justin Sun decided to take over Steemit Blockchain forcefully . As a result, a lot of Steemit hardcore community hard forked and switched to Hive to remove themselves from Justin's shackles. News broke out and the word "Hive" is everywhere in the crypto space.
After the hard fork, things gotten more interesting. Hive began its listing on major cryptocurrency exchange, including Binance and Huobi. What really caught my eyes is the Blokonomi report on the 460% meteoric rise of Hive's price, which makes me realize on how decentralization can contribute to a crypto asset's underlying value.
From my humble point of view, it was a symbolic moment for decentralized movement because it was the first time that the decentralized community (original hardcore Steemit community) took its stance and fight against the centralization control of capitalists (Justin Sun).
Why I Decided to Write on Hive?
As the co-founder of TORUM, I always see Hive as a key competitor of TORUM, along with Steemit, Somee Social, etc. In my old mindset, I am always perplexed on why the community is able to spend so much time on decentralized social blogging platforms like Steemit, especially when its user interface is so hideous (it's a harsh word, but that's what I really felt).
As TORUM launched its private beta platform almost two weeks ago (5th of July), I met a Malaysian Hiver called @zord189 who changes the way I used to think of Hive and other decentralized blogging platforms. Being one of TORUM's active testers, the former Steemian suggests to me that "instead of fighting Hive, TORUM should collaborate with other crypto social platforms and help each other out".
@zord189 even wrote an article titled "Got HIVE Listed On Torum, A Marketing Campaign
" on Hive five days ago. It got me thinking that
Must TORUM really compete with Hive and other crypto social platforms?
We are taking part in such a niche space and there is no incentive for us to compete against one another at all. In fact, we should be collaborating with one another and cherish our moment as one of the early adopters in the future of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.
However, a community collaboration will not happen unless a TORUM Lander (That's what we called ourselves) involve himself in the community building on Hive. That's why I am going to start writing on Hive from this week.
Aside from that, I will also be writing one or two articles about Hive on TORUM every week and I will be grateful if I can have the support from any Hivers.
Little Ending
Thank you for reading my first article until the end. I promise you this is only the beginning of me on Hive.

Hey @jayson9711, Welcome to Hive!
I think Torum doesn't really need to compete with Hive or any other blockchain. It can be more like a central hub where people from all different blockchains can come together. Creating opportunities for collaborations between the many different crypto communities!
I absolutely agree, Derek. Only through collaborations, we can have more opportunities and achieve greater feat.

Thank you, Nathan. More collaboration, more opportunities. Really appreciate your support 🚀
I think collaborating with hive is a reasonable move and it is the only way forward in achieving your set target of goals. Its nice seeing you on hive platform.
Thank you, Emmanuel. I agree as well, why work alone, when we can work together? Hive itself is a vibrant community, which is what TORUM wants to build as well. Glad to be here 😍

Great to have you on HIVE! Sure, lots of people use more than one social platform. There are a number of people that not only use HIVE, but also share their content on other platforms as well. It is the same with the more traditional non-blockchain social media sites like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, etc.
That would be great if you wish to collaborate with HIVE. We have no CEO and we are pretty much run by the consensus of the community! I don't believe there is any other blockchain that comes as close as HIVE does to true censor resistant, anarcho-capitalism in its functioning.
Absolutely @sgt-dan. Since people now use more than one social platforms, I do not see any point of TORUM fighting Hive or vice versa. From what I can see, the community on Hive is very vibrant and caring for one another. I agree on the censor resistant as well, Hive blockchain is showing really great promises as a social blogging blockchain.
Welcome to Hive!
Thanks, Mary 😳
Welcome!
Welcome my freind...

Hello @jayson9711 Nice to meet you here. What are you first impressions of Hive?
Vibrant and Collaboration.
Hello Jayson. As someone who's been on blockchain for less than a week and only been on hive, the steemit incident and rivalry among other platforms seemed a lot when I first heard about it, although not surprising. We're humans after all.
I'm glad that you guys are into collaborating. From a social perspective, it should be more beneficial to everyone.
I hope you'll keep writing on hive. I'm sure new users like me has a lot to learn from you.
Hey man. Just followed you. Hope to see more content from you too 🚀
Welcome and I'm sure you will love staying here.
Definitely, Olivia. I have been liking it so far.
Welcome to HIVE!!! Awesome to have you here and thanks for everything you are doing on Torum!!
No problem, @jaynie. The community has shown me kindness and comfort. Glad that I join Hive.
Hop onto our server so we can show you some more of that ;)
