Speaking about how the community is the real value in Hive as opposed to whale-centralized power in the old Steemit concept one thing that I have noticed is that there is a massive increase of a Hive "middle-class".

There are these accounts that have been building up slowly, though constantly just interacting and content creation and gaining the kind of HP and network it would cost a lot of money to equal if you had to buy it.

There are large amounts of these users that have the ability to build up new users and build their own little projects without the need of a big whale account to contribute most of the funding and/or rewards.

This is as good for the Redfish as it is for the Whales. It means that the blockchain is going to explode with growth as growth can come from all levels in the ecosystem!

I am excited to stay active in Hive and see where I end up, month to month.

I started the year on 313HP and I am now on 408HP. I left Steemit alone for 3 years and Hive is very different and just so much better... that amount of growth took me months in the old blockchain.

I have a target of at least 800HP by the end of the year! Let the second 400HP be faster than the first!
