Quality post here, and gives us all something we should be thinking about. In order to survive and thrive, we need to produce quality content, and A LOT of it, or offer something to the masses that no other blockchain does.
I was brought here by Splinterlands, but now I just run a botted account because that has lost all of its luster to me. Now that I have been on the HIVE network for a while, I am damn near addicted to it, always looking for something to rekindle that feeling of first finding out about all that HIVE has to offer.
I don't plan on going anywhere, but I would really like to see this place succeed. I take nearly all of the profits that I made or have made and pour them into this space. Granted, I am still waaaaaay down from loading up on SPS at .68, but I don't let that keep me from trying to add value to this space while i try and earn what is mine.
Good article. Really puts the whole place into a much broader perspective.
Thank you! I super appreciate that.
I do think that Hive is a great place to run blockchain-friendly games since the transactions are free (or more specifically paid for by inflation) and I think Splinterlands is a great example of how a blockchain game can be successful (especially compared to Axie Infinity, Crypokitties, etc).
For Hive to be successful, people need to keep buying $HIVE. One reason might be because they want to reward others for content they really like... but the thing I worry about is that if Google tries to keep everyone on its site with its AI, Twitter buries Tweets with links, Instagram doesn't have links, Pinterest is overrun with AI content, how does Hive continually find new people? I just don't have the answer to that yet...
