I can't understand why Steem was worth $8 at one point and we celebrate when $HIVE is at $1 ... Hive isn't even started reaching its true potential!
There is so much untapped resource and creativity within the community, but some days I feel like the community would rather behave like a frat house with free weed than a startup
You made a very good description right here. This is a link I clicked on one of the Brave ads I received: https://metabuild.devpost.com That is marketing + helping out DAPP developers. HIVE has ditched any real marketing and many whales frown upon using DHF to fund individual projects. They want to keep the funds to develop HIVE base layer.
This is the wrong way to maximize the utility of the fund. DHF should be primarily looked at as if it were a Venture Capital Fund. Take a look at how Fantom is doing it. They have a massive developer fund to bring in more DAPP developers. That is how they managed to grow so fast. They have DAPPs which are bringing in more users and they are spending more than HIVE when it comes to marketing and getting themselves noticed in the cryptosphere.
Even those who are looking for a decentralized social media have no clue about HIVE. That is how bad we have done as a project. Even the perfect target audience does not know about us.
