I read Dan's post some hours ago, and it's great to see you expand on it. Or is it beside it? Or wrapped in it? :)
I think the use case of Hive has not even begun to really take shape. There are places to go and projects to pursue to be sure, but I think the absolute direction isn't even started yet.
I look forward to (and hopefully not far) where new users will come to Hive without even knowing that they are here because their UI will not be required to learn anything about the block chain to begin. Not that I think that is the only way, but I hope it's one possibility.
On another subject, I just don't understand the fixation with price. Up two cents and a certain faction is certain that 50 cents and the moon is next. Down two cents and another faction is convinced that the Bears will devour all and they will be left with what they started with-nothing.
Truly, in the case of Hive at this time the price isn't even relative unless you are trading in a very narrow range.
Ahhhhh. I guess that's just the way it must be. Doesn't mean I understand.
Thanks for another really marvelous post.
I never know :)
This is the dream. I have had the thought for a very long time that it operates much more like the internet itself, an underlying protocol that gets leveraged, but users don't have to know about the infrastructure - just sign up for access.
People focus on price because it is their focus in life due to circumstances perhaps. In some way, not focusing on price is a privileged position. I try not to spend too much time thinking about the current price, but rather what it might take to get to a point where price becomes meaningful for me. We are a long way off, but on that path is a lot of community building. Some see the price as the goal, I see it as a byproduct of a strong community.
Price is so relative, and generally NOT relative to what it should be. Ideally (to me) price would be relative to the strength and dedication of the communities and people on the chain rather than relative to other coins or societies. Probably never happen, but I can dream.
I agree. At the moment, there is no (real) sense to most of the pricing going on, especially since a lot of the projects are effectively dead through disuse.
