The security, or rather the lack of security, OPN (other peoples' network) imposes on crypto remains an unreckoned hurdle. The value of moneys is determined by the people using them. Despite Hive's present condition, it is almost uniquely able to translate community into economic power, because it is primarily a social media platform, and social media has become the largest financial sector in the global market in ~10 years, eclipsing every industry in the world, mining, agriculture, insurance, even government (maybe. I haven't enough fingers and toes to do that math). This reveals that it is people and civil society that is the fundamental basis for an economy. The bugs (features to scammers) that hold Hive back from dominating the global economy - I am not exaggerating at all - are ephemeral, specific, and few.
Hive may not be able to overcome these particular fragments of code and governance, but it may, and it's open source, which is why it exists at all, potentiating it spawning a platform that does overcome them. It's not in my wheelhouse, and my circumstances presently make that a good thing, because I could go dark at any moment, and therefore that evolution isn't dependent on me.
Evolution happens. Tech enables humanity to direct our evolution, and that is an incredible potential I hope to see fruit in the above mentioned way before I expire.
Hive has a tiny community, it’s probably overvalued if I was being totally honest. I love it here & invest time & effort to earn, but we are going much lower when the bear cycle is here for Bitcoin and such. Dime is coming!
