Hive Monday Morning Vlog 🎙️ Where I See Hive Going In 2026 & Beyond!

Wow, what a post, Gene!

Thanks for sharing you honest thoughs & fears - which I can understand as well as your frustration. To see HIVE go from 10 Cents to $3 and back to 10 Cents is a hell of a Ride. Glas you made a little fortune with it. That was also great to hear.

Hope you find some minutes from time to time to do a market vlog since I value your opinion. And also listen to some of the songs you are posting though I am not the most active comment-guy.

And last but not least, we have both achieved something great last year! We both did the Yearly Author Badge as you states you did. I got mine too. We will see how things go, I will Keep posting this year as long as I like it.

All the best for you going into 2026, Gene and don’t get too frustrated.

I did ran my query on sunday about the Hive stats in 2025. And while some stats were better than I did expect, we are getting a really close community.
We only have around 4K users wo do post on a regular basis. Let's say one a week, so 50 times a year.

Completely understandable, Hive certainly isn't what it used to be. It's great you took profits when you did, but posting regularly with Hive below a dime isn't a great time investment. The ROI just isn't worth it like it used to be!

Don't blame you. Disappointing in the lack of interest. I'm not here for big rewards, but that is a big incentive to create content.

Hey buddy i am new to you, but i want to let you know the We Are Alive Tribe has a team and we are trying to rebirth community support on Hive.
I agree with you there is childish behaviour going on in Hive it is like a playground somtimes.
We don't care what your religious or politic views.
We try and support all members fairly and don't take subscriptions it is about activity and content.

Looks like you are a good content creator seems sad if you go.
Anyway we are trying to rebuild a better community.
Usurpers are damaging the platform.

It’s natural to feel frustrated when you truly love Hive and have been connected to it for a long time, especially after seeing its rise and now watching it decline.
I would love to hear your suggestions on how we can do things better?

Good for you @geneeverett you stuck to your guns and opinions.
Engagement should be the measure Hive's success. The comment section is where we can discuss those different opinions, share ideas, cite our evidence, make suggestions, etc.

Thanks for alerting me about you Protest power down.

I don't watch Hive charts 24/7 but you know it like your own backyard. Come to think of it, I was threatened with Down Voting if I didn't dump Markymark from my Witness list some years back, yes weaponized Hive/Steem. I wish the Devs do more than cheer lead HBD as Hive's savior. It's an attractive feature of the ecosystem but has it's blind spot. I will dread seeing Hive's slow motion ship wreck.

At least I did well taking some profits out of my Cryptos portfolio outside of Hive.

It was the trend happening. I have noticed quite a few people leave, and the comments have dropped off quite a bit. Hive just hasn't been the same, and I don't see anything really changing. It's interesting to see how Hive Engine can leave, but I don't think it would work out well for them if they did. I think Hive Engine is running on quite a bit of trust.

I feel you, my friend. Although you've been here longer than I have, I've basically devoted the last 4+ years to building and growing on Hive. So to see where Hive has gone over the past few years hurts my heart, because I truly do love this blockchain, and the many incredible people who make it up. I'm a tenacious bugger, and I can't give up on Hive, or on the We Are Alive Tribe, so if the ship sinks, I'm going down with it. I'll just keep building and growing on my own account, and for the We Are Alive Tribe, while also continuing to branch out into other blockchain ecosystems. I think that Hive can still be turned around for the better. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

What a sad reality! More saddened too is, that the thought of it discourages new users. I earnestly hope that it gets better soon.
