For decades, we were sold the idea that success required a university degree, while trades were treated as second-class careers. That appears to be changing.
I read a comment recently by NVIDIA CEO, who said that the AI boom will create enormous demand for electricians, plumbers, and construction workers because building AI infrastructure will require “the largest infrastructure buildout in human history.” It seems that many skilled trades now offer better pay than a good number of white-collar jobs.
As for the rebrand, Demotruk makes a compelling case. Our little Hive blockchain is almost impossible to find amid all the other “Hives” out there. A distinctive name makes us easier to discover when our token moons and the masses come looking for us.
Because there is no one to do them. Young people aren't going into trades, despite the money. And those that do, are generally pretty unskilled, because they shortcut the learning. Not all - but many.
Even when Steem mooned, the masses didn't come.
Demotruk's data shows that when there was a significant increase in the Steem price there was a corresponding increase in user numbers, but this doesn't happen with Hive. One of the reasons could be that searches for 'hive' turn up every other hive ahead of us.
