My Hive account as a Golf Club membership

avatar

As it stand, Hive is a pretty niche social media platform.

It has been hard to use it like the other traditional social media like Instagram, Facebook or Twitter. Simply because I hardly knew anyone whom I have personal contact with.

I think this is going stay that way. Hive will remain a place a selected crowd will come in, i,e. I don't think it will reach mass adoption to the tunes of Facebook or Instagram.

I like to think of Hive as a Golf Club that has niche membership perks for its members.

Afterall, something like a golf club membership is not for the masses.

Members come to the club to socialize, perform some hobby activities and fulfil their affiliation needs. They usually don't join the club with people they already mostly knew, but come here and make new friends.

This is so much like my experience in Hive. I continue to mingle with faceless accounts, but enjoy the company nevertheless. For example, I write post as a hobby, sometimes thoughtful, sometime nonsensical even without beer, but I get some audience!

More importantly, it is a club where people bring their money into, whether its big or small in amount. It's like a membership fee, indeed.

Beyond the small talks, secretly we have a common love: to see our stash of Hive worth multiple times more.

Interestingly, we often also share ideas and tips about crypto investing, especially in Leo Finance, and open up new investment opportunities for each other. *This resembles so much like the real reason why people join golf clubs, to talk shop, share resources and earn more money!

There is one new thing that make Hive resembles a social club, and that is the interaction in Leo Threads. Indeed, threads brings Hivers closer in some ways as we shit post like we shit talk with our pals.

Overall, the value of one's golf club depends on whether it is well maintained and well-sustained with services and innovation.

Indeed, we are the ones building a better club in Hive, for the well-deserved new members who would pay to join us in the future.

Nevermind that Hive is never going to reach mass adoption like Facebook. We just need enough deserving niche members.

Keep it going!

I have also thought about this before and I think I will also agree with you that Hive might never reach mass adoption like Facebook and other Web 2 platforms.

It's very much like a golf club and you don't just get everyone in the golf club. Other than later we will all come to the conclusion that Hive would only be a drop in the big ocean of web3 innovations.

Yeah, important reality check. And it’s fine.

I tend to agree, but I think the comparison could be extrapolated further. For example. like a golf/country club, there are groups (levels) that get 'better services' depending on how much they are willing to pay/invest.

No, it's not for everyone. Just like golf, many prefer to play cheaper/free (Web2) courses.

I agree that it will be tough for Hive to reach mass adoption. Even growing 10x or 100x will be enough to create it's own space in the crypto world. At least on Hive, everything you do can help you earn as well.

Here in the city of Multan, Pakistan, such a colony has also been built, in which a beautiful ground has been built, where people who are like to play come to play golf. By playing such games, the human mind becomes very relaxed and the time is also passed well.

Hive stems from and in decentralization. So part of the fun in finding each other and the "clubs". Which may range from "accounts" to things like different apps such as "threads" where I found you and a link to your article and found myself here connecting from decentralization. Love the perspective of clubs.

What a lovely perspective. I definitely struggled to shift from traditional social media in the beginning, because instead of seeking out people in my life to share content with, I was engaging with total strangers. Surprisingly enough and most pleasantly so, I've met some wonderful people here and I feel very blessed to have been shown the ropes by my wonderful partner @zakludick. Psssst. Do I get a golf cart now?

An other consideration: It's true that here a lot of people are "faceless" like they're hiding. I don't know why. They don't hide theirselves on Facebook, why they do here? I don't, like you could see in my posts...

I wonder what you mean about piramid, especially when it relates to the Hive blockchain. 🤯😆😅 !LUV !CTP

I mean that we'll always need more people that buy Hive or Hive related tokens to maintain us.... !PIZZA

One of the reasons why people need to buy more HIVE to support the Hive blockchain is because of the inflation, where more HIVE tokens at the blockchain level are created to fund content rewards, Decentralized Hive Fund, Witness Nodes, among others. 🤓 !LUV !CTP

The !CTP tipping bot hasn't been working since 4 months ago. 🤔

By the way, I wonder why you suddenly asked that when my previous comment was about the importance of buying HIVE and Hive tokens. 😅 !HUG
