What is your favourite music if any?
I listen to a lot of different music.
What are your thoughts about the Hive future?
Same as today at this rate unless we get smart contracts and start onboarding seriously.
What needs to be done to bring in not only users but also businesses that use the blockchain as auch (not fpr social media / content)?
Smart contracts and some form of marketing/onboarding and some more interesting dapps.
Thanks Sir for attending the interview - appreciated :-).
Seems we think smilar - smart contracts is important!
re the popular topic "onboaarding and marketing" - what do you think is wrong what we do right now - why do people leave so soon (as normal social media user)?
What is the best marketing initiative at the moment and how (if any) can this be improved / optimized?
Do you consider the brand name a problem as there are other Hive chain/companies out there?
do we miss an important "positioning" part to be more relevant outside for real investors?
We don't really do anything right now. The previous marketing proposal onboarded 67 people who had less than 1 hive combined between all of them, all of which was gained from memo spam.
I don't know of any, most of the $3M+/year in DHF isn't remotely related to onboarding, just like our "Hivefeast" isn't for new users either.
To some extent maybe, but not even remotely our biggest.
Yes, for example smart contracts was a big deal 10 years ago, now it is just expected and we still don't have them.
Thanks - good answers - in marketing I agree to a certain extent (given i do this professionally I have different opinions would could be done and what should be skipped) - DHF proposals I stay away to comment - some focus indeed is going into the wrong direction in my POV especially I do not not see the added value for Hive what is supported with "money" just saying Hive car as an example.
Think we too often talk about marketing where we need more PR - think we have enough PR stories to tell in general, isse how to make media pick them up, I mean mainstrwm (not blockchain media, they only want money - and this is no PR anymore)
Indded - even a guy called Ned Scott spoke about this ages ago in certain secret chats that we were close to immediate launch of smart contracts (7 years ago?).
