Yeah there are a few post out and about all about changing or doing away with the reward pool. They want Hive to be like steem to be like all the other also ran coins.
I hope we can make it past the first year of Hive being on its own with out changing the reward system, I know it is un-likely to happen but we can hope. I keep coming back to why would I invest when I don't know if in two months the economic layer of Hive is going to be the same.
Not sure where people have gone, posting has gotten a little bit thin since the HF, the errors are slowly going away since the HF, and the price has been dropping since the HF. I don't think it is all because of the hard fork, but I know people will blame it on the hard fork.
I have trouble trying to sell the idea now, since I can't even guarantee six months worth of a future here for any potential talent and their crowds, due to those posts talking about change and the uncertainty that comes with it.
Tough times but I've been through far worse here. Hoping things get better, for everyone involved.
Shit I can sell ice to eskimos...
Horse trader master.
Your sales skills need help. I've got a 30 second pitch that hasn't gotten a no yet. And more than a few yes.
I'm working on getting enough invested here to be able to help onboard friends and get them going.
If you have any people that need small delegation to get going RC wise, let me know. I am getting ready to clear the ones I currently have out, and find other to delegate to from my alt account. I 200 HP that I delegate out in 25HP amounts to help get those 0HP accounts going.
Right on and actually I'd love to talk with you and see what we can do about helping out the small fish grow.
I have a specific account that has been running for a while earning interest. As well as a bunch of other accounts I could throw on to curation trails.
Empowering the small guy helps all of us especially if we can empower enough individuals to keep our governances into our own hands
I just feel uncomfortable setting someone up for potential failure. I can sell the idea, just unsure if I should. That's what I meant.
Honestly enough forward progress is something that sells itself.
This has empowered me and shown me the value of myself and opened my eyes and empowered me financially even more.
I have stopped trying to preach to the masses and started upping my search into quality individuals.
It's not about massive amounts of local people I can onboard its massive amounts of amazing people that I meet and show them how to empower themselves...
Failure ICU is highly successful I'm doing more successful than my initial goals here. I remember when it was a fight to get to a small benchmark and now here I am nearly with 4,000 HP! From only being me and posting and interacting with the world.
Every penny is a blessing and it is being invested into the future here.
Also I've gotten my two cents worth Bitcoin so hopefully that will be an excellent retirement option when I get into old age.
My service dog recently passed away I need to get an account for the puppy.... However my last dog had an account and the fundraiser to help out the new puppy the funds are going to be set up to help this new amazing puppy and his future.
With the price drop recently the donations are only worth about half what the original donors sent. however the price will go back up and these funds are printing interest and helping good people.
The more of that things go on the more of that things get better. And investing is going to take a while so we are just going to stand back and watch however I do think this is an excellent opportunity for people because the price is so low...
however it's what we make it and what I'm making is a lot of comments to help others out and hopefully encourage them positively.
I have a feeling shortly things are going to change very quickly.
Stability in the economics, I feel, is one of the reasons there is not more interest in Hive. It is a unique place, a unique concept, and I hope the people of Hive can allow the economics time to settle in before trying to fix something that is not really broken.
Those big names constantly coming and going over the years could have set themselves up with solid revenue streams had they actually taken the time to explain to their paying consumers the benefits. It wasn't explained to the big names though. Dude who wants a quarter million could earn far more, over time, if that quarter million was locked in, supporting him...if the concept was marketed to far more consumers, creating steady demand for the token. It's not broken at all, the consumers are never targeted is all. Everyone who shows up wants to earn. It's continuously marketed only to those who want to earn. Without consumers, and paying consumers, there's no audience. Stage is full, seats are empty.
