Let's talk about Hive?
If we want to be modest we all agree that $hive should be worth at least $1.
It doesn't worth, and whenever altcoins go up $hive almost always goes down or at least don't move.
Why?
We need new users and investors who believe in the project.
New Users
With the immensity of social networks that exist, let's be clear, hive is just one more.
It has excellent dapps, great communities, nice people, but it's just one more.
Why join Hive?
Maybe 2 things can help, Marketing and an Impact Airdrop.
Marketing
The example of Twitter, everyone on Twitter sees the #hive tag many times a day but that's because we follow each other, not because the #hive tag is threading.
We can continue spread #hive on Twitter but we need a real marketing that reaches people outside of our circle.
Airdrop
Why not use DHF funds and make an attractive airdrop for new users, engage them?
Investors
Who, only interested in investing and having a return with $hive will stake and have their investment stuck for 13 weeks?
I think no one!
It's time to talk about Power Down!
Things like security can't be a break to a better Power Down!
This is my opinion, give your opinions and reblog this post, let's get a nice conversation about this.
It's time do to something!
👉 #HiveUp 👈
Thanks for following me!
The result often tends to be people come for the airdrop then leave. In the end, just giving money away for little to no return.
This is true whether it is average Joes or influencers.
Investors do not need to power up. They can hold their HIVE as liquid if they are speculating on it. The only ones who power up are those who are interested in curating or governance.
Plus the 13 weeks is a mechanism to protect against the exchanges doing what they did with STEEM. They really felt it when people had their coins locked up for more than 3 months due to the exchanges colluding with Sun. You can bet they wont make that mistake again.
A much better approach would be to promote Splinterlands, 3Speak, Leofinance, or a host of other applications/games. Users are not going to care about Hive at the end of the day. Instead, they will care about the applications they use.
After all, do you care where your netflix videos come from?

And we can't live forever with the panic of a new JS, we have to move on...
What blockchain have a stake lock of 13 weeks?
It was in place long before JS and is continuing even without the threat of someone like that without the ninja-mined stake.
None have it locked for 13 weeks that I know of. That doesnt mean that it is wrong.
Investors are not shying away from Hive because of the 13 weeks. You mention curation, which is correct, some are interested in that. However, if that is the case, they can power up. I do not think most investors are going to manually curate.
At the end of the day, I see 13 weeks as adding to the stability of the network. The more pieces in place for that, the better.
And yes the 4 week power up time does help but it isnt total insulation. With the 13 weeks, not only does it require a 4 week power up time, but also there are consequences on the back side.
With more layer 2 solutions coming online, there are plenty of opportunities for investing and earning. HIVE is going to have to take on more of a governance role.

Thanks :)
Let's see what is coming.
I'm not sure about reduce power down but also not sure about maintain.
What I'm sure is hive is undervalued and we should do something, also not sure what :)
My idea for Airdrop was not just "take your Airdrop", we can implement steps to take till get the Airdrop.
Investors may want also to make some profits in curation. Curation is one of main core of hive blockchain right? :)
Plus, last hf already did something to prevent Steem things. One month before Power Up take effect on witnesses voting vests.
When I talk about hive marketing of course I talk about dapps marketing, without dapps there are no regular users...
Thanks for your opinions :)
I am all in for a better price but we are 9 months old I think we need some time
Yes but I can't accept that as an excuse... Steem is a desert and worth more than hive
True and I wish I had the golden solution, and I agree that onboarding is needed and I do my greeter duties and educate because that’s needed but won’t help burst the price , great initiative to get the platform thinking and I will think about it some more.
:)
Happy Holidays :))
Hive has never had proper marketing. Never.

Time to make it happen, no?
Yep.

true
The airdrop should be done and integrated in powerup, that is, a person who would do x post and receive x amount to unlock needed to do power down
Don't know exactly how, may this needs an hf. But let's try to do something right ;) better than do nothing
I think you're right about what you proposed, although I don't know how it would work about Airdrop, but I think that would draw more eyes to Hive.
I believe that marketing campaigns should be designed by specialists, even if they were put into practice by us, Hive members. Campaigns made for different sites and social platforms, customized for those platforms. It would be good if the way to sign up is simplified. Make simple and clear tutorials with the registration stages to be attached to the promotional products.
This is my opinion and, of course, I reblogged.

I think this is where SPI,@lbi-token and other projects pitch in. My brother is constantly looking for investing opportunity and I introduced him to the Hive world. Now he holds ( well we collectively own ) LBI , INDEX , EDS . He has also taken interest in dcity . He hasn't posted at all I guess except some actifit now and then.
Yes I agree! Just one point, I guess I need a truely descentralized hive-engine, don't you agree?
Absolutely , that is a must .
!XMAS
Thanks you! Happy Holidays! :)
Cheers, @amr008 You Successfully Shared 0.100 WINE With @doze.
You Earned 0.100 WINE As Curation Reward.
You Utilized 2/3 Successful Calls.
WINE Current Market Price : 0.000 HIVE
Agree
Giving away free tokens is never the answer. people take the money and leave.
The DHF has a function and it should remain performing that function.
You want change but do not put forward the effects of a change.
My idea for Airdrop was not just "take your Airdrop", we can implement steps to take till get the Airdrop.
Anyway, thanks for your answer.
Do you have any idea how to improve hive?
Yes I do, Like any opinion out there to improve Hive, There is investment cost. My Idea would have a greater investment cost than any other idea out there. It would though increase the value of hive and still receive the same amount of HIVE that was put forward to the project and a passive return to the DHF for future projects.
A Hive investment company would need to be made and run under a constitution of guidelines on what those in positions held within the company can perform. Along with Jurisdiction legal requirements.
There is many considerations aspects which can be taken and adaptive to locality.
It is a very big long term project, that brings users to the chain but not always to blogging. Create a demand for the Hive token and make it usable in the daily life of people for general.
If you truly want to discuss Change. Let's change everything using HIVE.
Will be available to voice in the Hive discord
Thanks!
One question, this is not too bureaucratic?
Less than any other business.
To change people . you need to show the benefits. The idea behind crypto was to remove the power the banks have over finances. Being the coin that actually does that through the ability to use the coin daily on daily needs like grocery shopping. Getting tokens into other peoples hands becomes easier with time.
👍
Despite onboarding "the masses" by focussing on a user-by-user approach the communities may try to find ways to cooperate with web 2.0 communities. There are thousands of websites of Fan-Clubs or hobbyists that build communities in web 2.0. Everybody has a focus on Facebook, Twitter or Reddit but there are Millions of small-sized websites that have active communities. They share their content - be it photography, football, astronomy or whatever. If the Hive-communities would focus on onbording whole small communities by approaching their webmasters and offer them the opportunities of web 3.0 (transferring value, earn for content, build governance models based on activity) the might find some that would take the step and bring in a few hundred active users at once. If their usual website could still be the main frontend everybody only has to win. I really don´t know what is possible from a technical point of view, but I think there is a lot of common interest that could be the base of for fruitful cooperation.
