Marketing is too important to be taken lightly
And that is what we have done so far - we can build a great product, but if it does not sell, then its worst. I have raised this several times earlier - if we miss the boat in 2021, then probably we will never be noticed.
Fully agree.
Hive (the chain) as is, without a second layer already offers more utility than what it is currently being used for.
Our native currencies, well, let's just get straight to the point:
Not seen = Doesn't exist.
Can't be used for their purpose (as currencies) = Useless.
Time is not on our side, 2020 we saw blockchain tech go mainstream, we are now seeing some of the biggest names out there looking at ways to make the internet into one huge, practically centralized tracking system for each person.
Sounds way too much like the novel 1984.
But, we'll leave that topic for those who enjoy that sort of thing.
The rest of us, should concentrate on building options and use cases, while making sure that Hives capabilities are heard of and utilized and ensuring that both HIVE & HBD (our currencies) are used all over the world in 1001 different ways.
Not an easy task at hand, plus add to that the mentality left over from the "steemit.com being the centrepiece of everything" for some three years. Those skeletons in the closets are heavier balls and chains than anything imo.
Yet, the challenge is there, for those among us who wish to take it on.
