We are well passed that mark, esp if you count the "sleeper" accounts. I see hive as a giant hay stack covered in gasoline, one little spark and the world will know we are here.
Wow, only understood half of what you said at the beginning, because i'm not good with finances neither understand much about how the Blockchain works, but i loved your voice, can i say that i have a crush on you for it? it's the first time i've heard it. hahaha🙈 Anyways, please don't judge me, i'm very new, i'll soon keep learning how everything works here.
You say it's not a motivational message... but i do believe it was, mixed with the love you have for Hive, for some reason i felt you were defending her more than anything, i guess a lot of people have had wrong opinions about Hive.
Random question: Do you know how many people is logged in Hive? That can be an interesting number to know.
I still don't know what the main purpose of Hive is... but i have to admit that i did get into the network for the money... but i can assure you that i'm going to stay because i love it, because of the way i've met a lot of people, because of what i've learned from other cultures, because of how much i've grown in the little time i have here, because i've seen that there are people who really care about what i write about and it has touched the hearts of some people... I'm already happy with just being able to listen to the opinions of others and to be able to share with them, more than just making money... and of course we look for a way to put the post on the whales´s road, but i don't even check the earnings of the posts that much anymore, i put the tags just in case i hit something, and in the meantime i enjoy what i write and how i can help being here, which is just what you say... it goes much further than just making money.
Btw, do you have a flu? hahaha 🍻✌️ and good vibes!
... but i can assure you that i'm going to stay because i love it
I would wager the majority of people find Hive because they are looking to make money in some way. Let's face it, that is attractive to anyone. But like you, those that stay do so because they enjoy it, not just for money.
Yeah @joebrochin! And i think everyone who stays does! Because it becomes a very exhausting job if all you're looking for is money. You have to enjoy what you do.
Coulda... Woulda... Shoulda...
Accepting a failure here and there ain’t shit!!! It’s how you come back!!
Hive came from something that became corrupt. To me.. Hive means something!!
Freedoms getting taken away... that is what us Union boys Understand... once you give it up... good luck getting it back. Local 77 We keep the lights on for ya
Very motivational speech. Well i am very much bullish and crazy for hive from the first day it's launched. Use case and product is the main thing and this is what hive has.
CHEERS !!!!
Glad to know, you are a passionate researcher - having someone backing hive is like having a very strong support. I understand, many who are already here, will agree to your opinion - super bullish on hive - but why are we not planning for some strong marketing to offer hive as a platform ? Some professional marketing on the technology itself will have big impact.
People will laugh at you for being different and going against the grain. But when it comes to blockchain and crypto with real use cases, like Hive, those that take the plunge and become comfortable will be those that are better positioned to thrive in the future.
Yes. We are approaching the door. I agree with that assessment completely.
I have just read a biography of Elon Musk. It seems that he genuinely wants to change the world, and isn't taking no for an answer. Agree with him or not, I think our world needs shit crazy assholes like him.
Maybe, just maybe, there is a core at hive that are shit crazy assholes that just want to change the world. The ones that will persevere and and carry on. That is my hope.
I joined hive (was steem) in 2017 and saw the potential. I was scared by the prospect of forking at first because I knew it would make things slower and harder. But I remember you saying that
if the fork is going to kill us, then let us die already.
And that's when I realized that yeah, we actually want to be decentralized and impossible to destroy. If a 51% attack was going to kill us, then we had 0 value in the first place.
I see so much potential for hive yet so much work to be done. It's years of work. I've learned to code over the past two years just to contribute to this effort. I will be making the website interface for Native Ads soon (announcement post coming up).
When people say dPoS is less decentralized and that governments can target block producers, it's true, BUT why would the government ever ban a cryptocurrency if they are unable to ban Bitcoin first?
Why the fuck would governments ban decentralized exchanges on Tron and EOS and waste resources hunting down block producers if, in the end, they can't touch ETH anyway?
If you want to ban decentralized money, you must ban bitcoin first. Otherwise, people will just use bitcoin. Bitcoin acts as a shield to all cryptocurrencies with monetary value. Eth is the shield to all smart contracts general-purpose blockchains.
The point is, governments won't attack Hive because of its currency. So, we can sacrifice some decentralization for usability. But, it still needs to be decentralized enough for real freedom of speech. Hive acts as a shield to all blockchains promoting freedom of speech. We can write anything into its blocks. Like Bitcoin and Eth, a blockchain reaches a critical size where people try to copy it, fork it, and improve it slightly. But you always need the shield.
Bitcoin is the shield for money.
Eth is the shield for finance and banking.
Hive is the shield for freedom of speech.
And the only reason Hive is useful is precisely because it does not use smart-contracts. It allows us to be more flexible, scalable and focused on one mission.
A lot of people focus way too much on Defi and hive-engine second layer smart contracts. That's good and all, but Hive's core is freedom of speech, not programmable money. This is what really makes it valuable and antifragile.
The real roadmap is SMTs and communities. Decentralized advertising to provide value to users and attract them. We have communities. We are working on decentralized advertising with Native Ads. SMTs still need to be completed, but a lot of code was already written. We are getting there.
Yeah, other dapps can come and use custom_jsons, make gaming more fun, and give real ownership to gamers, but this needs even less security than hive provides. It only needs second-layer chains running their nodes, like Splinterlands. Games can run their own chain or be a second-layer chain on any blockchain. If they use Hive, good! It makes the token more scarce, but they might not.
However, the key point is that if you want freedom of speech hardcoded in a blockchain, you need something as secure as dPoS. You can't just be a random second layer with 2 people in the world running nodes. And this is where hive's real value is.
I don't care if people will think I am silly for thinking of changing the world. I don't care about the F!
Same with you, I am here not for the money but for the mission of freedom of speech and decentralization. Thanks for making this podcast, its sort of motivation for all of us
Dan begins by asserting that web2 technology is becoming increasingly untenable, as centralized databases and systems are vulnerable to hacking, data breaches, and human tampering. In contrast, blockchain technology represents a more secure, decentralized foundation that is "inevitable" and here to stay. He compares blockchain to the fundamental concept of the wheel - a basic technology that has endured and been iteratively improved upon, rather than replaced. Just as the wheel's core function of being round cannot be made obsolete, the core blockchain concept of a distributed, multi-database system is a foundational innovation that will persist.
The Importance of Practical Experience in Crypto Investing
Dan emphasizes that successful crypto investing requires a deep understanding of the practical realities, rather than just theoretical knowledge. He contrasts the "castle of on-paper perfect worlds" that theorists inhabit, versus the "crazy ghosts" of real-world challenges that investors face. Those with the most hands-on experience and "edge" in the crypto space will be best positioned to navigate its complexities.
The Keys to Successful Investing: Confidence and Passionate Research
According to Dan, the foundation of successful investing is having confidence in oneself and the field. This confidence then fuels passionate, in-depth research that goes beyond mere obligation. He likens this process to working out - the enjoyment comes from understanding the long-term benefits, not just the immediate pain.
The Importance of Perseverance and Embracing Adversity
Dan emphasizes that adversity and setbacks are inevitable in any worthwhile endeavor, whether it's investing, entrepreneurship, or personal growth. The key is to persist through these challenges, rather than quitting at the first sign of difficulty. He argues that true "failure" only occurs when one gives up, whereas temporary setbacks can be overcome through continued effort and resilience.
Why Dan is Bullish on Hive
Drawing on the themes of inevitability, practical experience, and perseverance, Dan explains why he is so bullish on the Hive blockchain. He sees Hive as the "cockroach of crypto" - an inherently resilient and adaptable project that will continue to grow and improve over time, no matter the obstacles. Dan highlights Hive's strong community, innovative technology, and the intangible qualities that make it difficult to replicate. Most importantly, he believes Hive can be a powerful tool in the fight to protect freedom of speech and individual liberties, which he sees as increasingly under threat.

The magic # is 10,000. How close are we?

"I love to work out because I understand what it's gonna do to me on the back end."
I feel ya bro never skip glute day!
All in all, I hear what ya saying and, as a larger investor in hive, I hope you have the insight to really things towards prime time.
Think a lot of the other folks heads get in the way and this is a hindrance to people with real vision.
