You Can't Get Fired From Hive: The Incredible Opportunity

in LeoFinance2 months ago

Many people are starting to realize the potential job disruption that is coming from technology. The most recent advancements by Google and OpenAi are only feeding into this.

Over the years, we discussed how the accelerating pace of technology was going to cause carnage in the job market. Many overlooked it, choosing to buy into the narrative that "technology always created more jobs than it destroyed".

The problem with this viewpoint is, by its nature, technology is deflationary. This means the working class tends to be affected through the loss of jobs.

With what is going on today, considering the power of what we are dealing with, this is on steroids. Never have we see the potential for massive disruption in under 5 years. I tend to believe we are at that point.

So far, most are ignoring the problem. There is some courtesy discussion about it yet it is not receiving many proposed solutions. That is not the end of the world since most will not work anyway. Too often centralized entities (read governments) think it has the solution. Frequently, it is a total waste.

However, we do have the path going forward. In this article we will discuss how things could expand and counter what is taking place.

You Cannot Get Fired From Hive

This is a crucial concept in my view.

As we move further into the digital realm, people are going to require some protection. The old methods will not work. Governments are impotent against this. So are unions, minimum wages, and basic incomes. They will be tried as certain entities (read people) try to remain relevant.

There might be some minor success but the outcome is likely to be failure. The reason for this is many of those entities will be made obsolete.

It is why we have to stress this is an entirely new realm. Therefore, it will necessitate a completely new set of solutions.

This is difficult to achieve if people will, for the most part, no even admit the problem.

For this reason, we will keep covering it, presenting the most obvious of pathways for people to follow.

Here we can start with the fact that people cannot get fired from Hive. Unlike having a traditional job, where one is simply trades his or her time for money (modern day slavery for the majority of the world), working within an ecosystem creates a completely new paradigm for people.

So far, it is a point that most miss. Until a fair number of people will realize the opportunity, it will fly under the radar. Those, however, that are building, will find themselves in a different position at some point in the future.

Equity Stake

Web 3.0 has the potential to change the entire structure of the Internet.

We have no idea how many tens of trillions (maybe hundreds) of dollars this thing is worth. It is easy to see that companies like Google and Amazon are have market capitalizations over $1 trillion, stemming from their operation as a digital platform.

While many of us use the services provided by these companies, helping to increase their value, we likely do not financial benefit. Our stake in these entities is zero unless we happen to own some stock.

In other words, the effort we put in is not financially rewarded. Even within the "prosumer" realm, few are truly getting any return on their efforts.

This all changes with Web 3.0.

Working within an ecosystem means that one is simply not dependent upon his or her individual efforts. Since one has stake and, potentially, is receiving more for the efforts, we can see how this alters the game.

Networks and platforms are masters are capturing incremental value from its users and spreading it to everyone. Here is where tokenization takes it one step further.

It is a basic concept that few, even within the ecosystem, understand. Sadly, of those that do, even fewer are taking advantage.

Digital Abilities

While many are focusing upon what is lost with technology, there will be some who understand the opportunity presented.

When it comes to skills, everything is different.

The most recent advances, as shown by Google and OpenAI, should excite everyone. Again, only a few will take advantage since only a small percentage actual works on improving their skills.

Once again, we see the proverbial steroids entering the picture.

With digital technologies, the ability to enhance one skills goes up exponentially. Consider the fact that every few month you could learn a new skill that can be applied online. This means what is being created can keep expanding.

No longer does one need to be an expert. Instead, being a generalist is all that is required. Once can start to work with one or two digital tools, then expand from there. The curve gets more powerful since the tools that one learns early on likely will keep getting more advanced.

Here is where we see the compounding effect.

All of this can be tied to Hive.

The next 5 years will see disruption like we never saw before, at least in such as short window. However, for those who are prepared, it is a huge opportunity.

Most fail simply because they look at how things are today. This leads to us missing the major shifts that are taking place, easy to spot in hindsight.

What we see taking place is going to have enormous impact.

The question is what we are going to do about it? Web 3.0 is technological in nature since it has a digital basis. This provides people with an opportunity to ride the way.

To achieve this, thinking like a slave is not going to work. One has to take the approach of owning a piece of the massive fortunes that will be generated by this technological evolution.

Under the present system, this is not possible for much of the planet. Tokenization, on the other hand, disrupts this completely.


What Is Hive

This is true. The worst that can happen is a person gets downvoted and muted. Unless they pissed others off so much, they can just create a new account and start over.

Build stronger so the leech's become an unknowing asset.

And that only applies based upon what stake people have.

Someone might lose some Hive but if they have other layer 2 tokens they are focused upon, unless the downvote has that, it isnt affected. As layer 2 things start to spread, we will see more attention at that level.

I think a lot of applications that offer layer 2 tokens need to increase their use case. I like how Leo and Ecency have done it, with Leo increasing the benefits over time. Some tokens feel like they have bene abandoned, or just became an afterthought.

I would agree although not about those two increasing their use case. It is still rather trivial.

And I think what gets missed is the community is equally involved in generating more use case. People simply do not thing as owners.

Exactly!! That’s the advantage you get from hive,here you are self employed but all you need to do is to put in the work and create good contents and also pray to be curated.
Thank you for your post

That is true. We are self employed which is also a problem for many since they tend to:

A) not be self starters
B) lack the ownership mindset

Very true but it’s still better than being under someone

The actions of most seem to go counter to what you state here. They might even agree with you in talk but their actions go counter to that.

You’re right because it’s a social platform we don’t get to see the behavior of others. That’s certainly true.
Thank you for your upvotes too.
May God bless you

Always love to see your motivation and energy towards future of Hive blockchain
. I totally agreed with you Sr. WEB3 HAVE UNLIMITED OPPORTUNITIES FOR EVERYONE BUT ONLY FEW CAN UNDERSTAND THIS

Few days ago someone commented on my post Ocd is going to leave hive as a top witnesses and hive curator, that's why he thinks hive is dying, I personally don't agree with him but really worried about what's he is talking about

What happened to ocd please share with me if you have any info about this, because you are a very well informed about all latest developments of Hive blockchain

Please check following sacreenshot to understand what I am talking about

It is true that people spend certain time on interests. Which can be called modern slavery. But in this case Hive is one of the helpers because it supports many people economically where there is no slavery.

we are spending the time to build our freedom

Yes definitely it provided opportunities to people to be earn through internet. Everyone is self employed by working on it.

So much of uniqueness that hive possessed which to me will be one of the key reasons hive will stand out among it's counterpart in the future

Indeed, you cannot get "fired" from Hive.

The things that amazes me the most about the entire scenario is how governments and "experts" keep insisting that there are "more and more jobs" even though more and more people are being permanently displaced by technology.

And "learn to code" is pretty much a lame excuse, not only because the world doesn't need that many coders, but AI is increasingly going to replace any need for someone to know how to code.

Ove the next 10(?), 20(?), 30(?) years, the entire definition of "job" will change to where every individual on the planet will become their own "economic center," both in term of income, economic impact generation and expenditure.

It'll be very interesting to watch it all unfold.

=^..^=

I am in the camp that tech is obliterating jobs. Actually, from my research, in the US, the peak was 25 years ago. This is something people do not mention.

Learning to code means nothing as we are seeing text and image-to-video software getting more powerful. Hell the AI is learning to code too.


Hey @taskmaster4450, here is a little bit of BEER from @fiberfrau for you. Enjoy it!

Do you want to win SOME BEER together with your friends and draw the BEERKING.

In as much as you can't get fired on Hive , users should be willing to follow and abide by the laid down rules of the ecosystem. Hive is both the present and future , it has successfulIy hacked the decentralization blockchain technology niche.This is the more reason new active members should be onboarded, there's certainly a whole lot to benefit from this massive invention called Hive.

I believe hive has so much uniqueness in itself and at the end, it will look like it is those uniqueness that hive possessed that will make hive to stand out and keep going
