Thank you for the shout-out and good to see the power-up π.
Insanely, SPI (second-layer token based on Hive) is now worth over a dollar each, original stake 1 steem/hive each. I'm still trying to take that in π.
My own view is that communities are the way and they need to have a business proposition or use case as I've learned to say here. The thing that is exercising me now is whether Hive has the people infrastructure to manage a large influx of people. If we achieved my targets of bringing 1,000 (active) people to The Ink Well over the next year, I wonder whether we would be overwhelmed. We're so used to cruising on not very much.
π no worries about the shout out
Bringing 1000 creative writers to hive/TheInkWell we would 100% be overwhelmed with the amount of people left here who can effectively assess creative writing. But, I know a tone of people who have left from the old writing communites who would probably return if the hive price went up above $1 simply because they would be able to earn what is proportionate to that level of work. lol, it is a catch 22 as we need 1000's of people joining and buying a small amount of hive at least to boost the price, but the people who were historically very active and qualified (in regards to creative writing) aren't gonna return without that price boost.
I think the trick is exactly what we've chatted about, bringing writing students onboard with hive marketed as a learning/career development experience where there is also potential for earning spare cash to help them through uni.
π I missed out on that one... but bought 40 LBI (leo backed investment) tokens off the back of your story about the SPI @shanibeer π€π€π€
Indeed π€π€π€ - enough for a pint or an iced coffee would be very nice!
