i feel that money should not be the hype focus, because most will just come and leave disappointed. because that is the story of a lot of new accounts on steem/hive. the one that stay found a community of people that they connected, or seen the potential of the technology.

Yeah that was the Jerry Banfield syndrome. He ran all over social media stating how he made $15,000 in like 3 posts.
People were led to believe it would happen to them also.

Exactly.. And he was just one out of dozens of people talking about how easy it was. I don't want that. I want real stories. I want people to talk about the extra $50 per week they've been able to earn because they put in time and effort into a platform they feel they belong in.
That is the opportunity the masses needs to see and believe. That they can change their lives, but that they will be able to earn something along the way, as long as they put in time and effort.

i think i somehow missed him, as i got in january 2018. i seen the attempt of second round of it. from what i heard he was good at getting attention but looks like he did not do a for the platform.
He got a lot of attention, but he didn't use his influence and the opportunity in a proper way. He did things wrong, which ultimately gave us nothing... While he made a small fortune for himself.

I agree with you, and just like TM4450 said, that is the "Jerry syndrome".. But, I still believe that money is the main factor for people to join Hive, and everyone wants Hive to thrive. However, I don't want to see the biggest whales talking about how easy it is to make money.. Because it's not easy.
I want to see posts from the average users, the small users, where they share their experiences, where they talk about how they become a part of things and how that eventually had an impact on their lives. I would rather see success-stories talking about $5 per day rather than $500 so to speak. I think that is very important in terms of growth.

no arguing with that. over 200.000 new accounts made in few months of end of 2017 start 2018 is supporting the claim.
also nothing to add to the second part, as i agree with it in full.
I haven't looked into that actually.. Are those real numbers?
