RE: Who owns hive and why it feel like we don't
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Hive is an imperfect system, but I still prefer it to other social media. We have huge whales who hold the power and rancho/haejin deciding who is on trending. I think this could even out eventually if we can just get some real growth that spreads the power a bit more.
I know a lot of people don't like where DHF funds go, but most of us can't control that. It is clear that it is not doing much to help Hive grow. I concentrate on things I can do here. There are cool creative people posting who get hardly any comments apart from mine.
@blanchy makes some claims about what happens to boreholes and I hope @mcsamm can let us know how they do in the long term. These communities need that water, so I hope they look after their installations.
that claim is rather concerning, and I hope its not correct in this case. if not for the expenses being wasted, more so for the people who depend on the water.
There's a lot of well-meaning projects that do not really deliver to those in need, but this one has local knowledge and involvement that ought to help.
It is really amazing to witness the improvements that these boreholes have made to the lives of these people in Ghanaian villages. Both Hive and these communities have significantly benefitted from this initiative, and we are very much hoping it will lead to many more, not only helping improve lives but also demonstrating to the world the absolute power of using the blockchain in our lives every day.
In the meantime, we have set up a group of people who are direct representatives from each of those communities that have benefitted from the boreholes to provide the blockchain with daily news from their town. After we have engaged them in the basics of Hive, we will continue to help them to update us all daily and show how they can keep other young people in their communities involved on Hive.
However, there is a plan of action to start monitoring all these boreholes monthly to see if any of them need maintenance or repairs. In the meantime, we have not seen any damage or serious problems from these communities at all. These communities are just continually expressing their happiness and asking us if we provide more support or can provide some educational support for the young people while they are in school in these communities.
While we plan to commence the 23rd borehole, we continue to assure everyone we are reaching the world with Hive through this really powerful life-changing initiative, and everyone is happy to see we are using the blockchain technology to facilitate it. Thanks again for your support to help us be there @steevc
These projects do need to be followed up so they give benefits in the long term and it's good to hear you are doing that. It is understandable that people want to know the money is being well spent.
Cheers.
We are committed to ensuring that every penny spent on the borehole is worth it.
