This thing has to be fun for me. That's why I seek out music, comics and other entertainment. I get bored with endless discussion of crypto. That said, the drama over the Steem hardfork counts as entertainment as I laughed my socks off at Steemit's incompetence.
People need to be social if they want Hive to persist. Worry less about the rewards and more about user retention.
The Steemit thing was entertaining for sure. The plot twist at the end matched anything in the cinemas haha.
