I came to the old chain as a content creator almost nine years ago, and I remain here primarily because I am — first and foremost — a content creator. The appeal was the fact that the ostensible immutability of the blockchain would mean that I had a safe place to park my creativity. It remains the one thing about Hive in which I still have faith.
Progress and change is typically initiated by the idealists who believe it is possible to create a better world; a better outcome.
At some point, those idealists collide with the inevitable vagaries of human nature. Consider the promise not only of the original crypto social experiment we had here, but of crypto, itself. The original ideals of providing a trustless, borderless, instant and low/no fee alternative monetary system has been replaced by the Cryptosphere's own version of "Wall Street Greed." Building anything of lasting value has been usurped by a circus clown festival of lottery driven meme coins.
Except maybe for Bitcoin, which continues to enjoy a remarkable first mover benefit and resilience.
"The system is broken" caveats aside, I do sincerely hope what you're building here will allow some kind of Phoenix to rise from the ashes that have become the Hive that exists today!
I have the same concept. Less on the DeFi (which can be done elsewhere, although I do like the HBD park aside APY %), but being content creator was the first, and ease of economy was the second.
We are incentivising participation at the brotherhood. You can no longer buy our tokens and tap out for a year or two.
Token rewards degrade by 2% monthly.
To offset that you can either participate in the community, delegate, or write on the flame.
Please explain this more. It can be a turn off for some investors. Some people just wanna invest. So are we punishing money because they don't it don't engage? Isn't it valuable to HOLD? (Yes I changed HODL to HOLD, I liked the reasoning of not calling it HODL xD)
But sometimes we just like to keep it going, and only when there is time to drop by and say hi.
Often times I don't even have time to say hi in my own discord haha.
Wao! This is a nice idea. You have really spoken my mind since all these while. I just wonder why things are turning out this way on hive. But I believe things can still get even better if we stick to the plans. Great innovation and great idea.
I've never wanted to write on a discord channel so much as now. Less money for nothing. More participation. That's what I was looking for Hive. If this is a social platform, let's make it social then.
Praise the flame!
A lot to unpack here. However, I can say the project is clearer to me now than before. I've been in Discord for some time now, but never got to understanding the project this way.
Can questions be asked about the project in the Discord? I mean, do we have dedicated mods to answer the questions that may come from ordinary folks?
About AI, though: Are all these flame pictures AI generated? If so, isn't it a wee bit ironic to speak badly about AI generated writing, but use AI to generated pictures? To be honest, I think within just a few years, AI writing will be completely indistinguishable from human writing. All the awkward phrasing, tell-tale constructions, overused punctuation marks, will go away. It will be like Blade Runner, where we can't tell a human from a replicant.
While you are at it, and hoping on the AI issue, those "AI gf / bf bots" are becoming very "humanistic" in their conversations and wordings they use. I am not certain what sort of data mining mechanism is used, but they are getting very close. I think some are still evaluated by hired humans though (I saw some job ads to help AI respond better - like a human - in linkedin)
Warm greetings, my friend. While I've been a background supporter for a while now through HP delegations and token holdings, I very much resonate, and I'm very much aligned, with your desire, intention, and vision, so I'm feeling called to get a bit more involved. Personally with my own account, and and now with the We Are Alive Tribe, my intention is to create a mutually-beneficial and mutually-supportive system of abundance, that over time allows us to grow a whole community of whales, to balance out the power dynamics on Hive. Everything that I do on Hive is as much to help support and lift those around me, and the whole blockchain, as it is for me. It's Maximum Mutual Benefit all the way for me. I peek in on your Discord server fairly often, but I haven't said anything there yet, though perhaps I shall. I wish you indomitable success, brother! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
We pride ourselves on being a highly decentralised community that puts the little guy first. But if you dig a little deeper then you will find one of hive's stinkiest little secrets is that our top 20 witnesses all vote for each other.
Now that you have mentioned... 🤔
This is something I noticed some times, unlike Steemit old days when a really good post is A REALLY good post with really good rewards. I was fortunate to experience that around 7 years ago.
The most unfortunate pitfalls of every rising community / project is that when the core and members started thinking about themselves first , then it is the beginning of the end.
I have done my fair time trying the hardest before lockdown. I wish you all the best.

Mentioning the dhf car (I agree, it's disgusting), while you received dhf money in the past and delivered nothing is a bit .... hypocritical?
At least until you return that money.
Just saying

Proof or it's just more bs coming out of your mouth
It looks like I may have to start writing again. :)

Well, much to digest, here.

You are welcome sir. Don't mind my words 😆. I couldn't think of a better way to express myself 🤣

Love the post, Ray. Let's see what happens.

I have to agree with the AI issue that will slowly be indistinguishable from human writing.
Your level lowered and you are now a Minnow!
Ironic this is below same post 👀
Just saying…

I appreciate that, and in that case I shall! Is the #main-chat a good place to start? 😁🙏💚✨🤙
.
I've been spending time in there on and off through my day, and I'm enjoying it. It's quite a diverse group! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
How can I add the @pyresoul server to my discord? Have you got an invitation link? !HOPE !HUG !PIZZA
$PIZZA slices delivered:
@svanbo(1/10) tipped @brofund
Come get MOONed!
Sounds interesting the vision atleast uou wish to make Hive more decentralized. Do you have link ro this project of yours...
