RE: Monday Market Musings | Week 7

Oh, it's TOO early in the bull run, (are we even really in the bull run yet?), to expect big moves from Hive. I certainly didn't expect Hive to be around 1/2 dollar right now. But I would have expected something higher than where we are now when BTC would have broken through 50K USD. I didn't even really notice the negativity in Discord, as you may have noticed, I am less and less active in Discord myself. There is that thing called "Life" that demands more of my attention. But the doubts about the functioning, in other words, lack of functioning of Hive, the marketing part, in other words, the lack of marketing and therefore lack of growth of HIVE, that is impossible not to even think about.
After all, we all want this blockchain to succeed, we don't want it to die due to a lack of interest. The possibilities here at HIVE are enormous, but if we don't make that clear to people who are not yet in crypto, what chance do we have? People who are already in crypto have only chosen to become active on HIVE in very small numbers so far, why? And how long can we continue paying out 16K HBD per day in this way if there is no HIVE growth in return?? Money doesn't grow on trees, not in real life, but also not in crypto.
Like I said, I don't disagree with some of the critiques, but it's just a bit depressing to see so much bashing on something you have put so much time and effort into. I'd love to see us grow into something great. I think the potential is there and I don't have the answers that can turn things around.
I agree with you that it is depressing, but burying our heads en masse in the sand and continuing on the same path will not solve the problem. We should look at how things can be changed and improved to move forward again. Standing still also means going backward. And I think real growth will require a major mindset change from everyone at HIVE.
It's gotta come from the bigger accounts though. The mid-range and smaller accounts run the risk of being downvoted into oblivion should the bring up any of those points. No matter how valid they are. The risk is just too great. I don't think it's that people want to put their heads in the sand (maybe some do), it's that they don't have a choice.
Unfortunately, you have a point here, but isn't it completely crazy that it works this way on HIVE? This was never the intention of a decentralized blockchain, was it? How decentralized is the chain then?
I don't disagree with you, I'm just pointing out the reality. Like I said, I don't have any solutions.
😞 I know, I don't have solutions either, but, sadly, it can't be discussed. It would be an advantage for anyone on the chain.
