The hard part about a Hive narrative is it is like the Amazon web services of blockchain technology. It does too many things for a single narrative.

I think the messaging will get so much cleaner when communities can spin off their own tokens because then each community will be able to sell themselves and they won’t have to sell Hive as a whole. Hive will just operate in the background, like AWS, and reap the benefits of each community.

Hive’s benefits need to be marketed to specific communities, corporations, bankers, developers, businesses, gamers, free speech advocates, social media, governments, non-profits, etc. Then those groups will develop use cases that leverage Hive’s underlying layer 1 technology to reach the masses.

Hive’s Base Layer Technology -> Middle Man -> Mass Adoption

For the last 7 years, we have tried to skip the middle man, with a few exceptions like Splinterlands.

The real question, in my opinion, is not so much what is the narrative, but how do we get the narrative in front of those that can do something with hive’s technology?

As was pointed out in your discussion, people have not been interested in the narrative. I think that doesn’t mean that we should change the narrative, but more means we should change the audience.
