and the life change good that VP is doing do not matter one bit.
No. Ofc it matters. Who said it doesnt matter? There is a give and take. Now this is just my view of things and Ive disagreed with other people in VP over it but I dont think there is enough "give" from a few of these projects and theyre not getting enough attention for what theyre receiving and I would personally cut them. There needs to be a reciprocity because Hive isnt a charity as many think.
And thats good because a system where all parties can receive value is a well functioning system.
If the boreholes generated any significant amount of attention and gotten us significant exposure id fly out to Ghana and go dig them water wells myself by hand.
Y'all do not want the people you have to play ball with for now. Y'all want those higher-net worth business-owning individuals that you describe here ...
Look. Having more users is great. I want more people here as well but id take 1 high networth individual that will commit his time and money to Hive over the whole user base of Hamster Combat for example, because I know what Hamster Combat users are about. Theres your regional focus and targeting high adoption areas.
There is a huge difference between builders and those that are simply looking to extract value. And Im not just talking about from the economic sense. Theres also a third group of user id love to get here but theyre so tiny in % in my view and our dapps simply dont offer what would satisfy them.
ALSO not motivated with Hive below 50 cents ... but we know that from the global data already about who actually is the most motivated to adopt crypto.
Guess theyre not as motivated under 50 cents.
Being ready at every moment to throw the kind of people under the bus who carried the chain through the last bear may "work" in 2024 and perhaps through 2025 because of the cycle itself.
No No No.. Lets not kid ourselves here. People who carried this chain are very well known. We dont get to point at a group and say they "carried the chain" simply because they showed up. Its very clear whats required to "carry a chain". Posting every day is not it.
and the level of hard feelings about Hive, and the accusations, will be running up all the while.
And that is why I will take 1 high net worth individual over every single user that is gone once the price dumps a bit, every single complainer over downvotes, that is a thorn in the side of those actually putting in work every day to make something of this place.
I guess Hive seems to be REQUIRED to give and give, ask for no reciprocity and take shit while giving some more.
And we will keep on working!
