I just started using the word cooperative a few days ago, but I think it best sums up what HIVE is - in the purest sense of the word.
A cooperative (also known as co-operative, co-op, or coop) is "an autonomous association of persons united voluntarily to meet their common economic, social, and cultural needs and aspirations through a jointly-owned enterprise".[1] Cooperatives are democratically owned by their members, with each member having one vote in electing the board of directors. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooperative
Yep. That sums it up to a tee.

This is exactly what these platforms we are creating are, except we are online.
Co-ops have been around for a long time, many of them highly successful. The reason why many fail is they do not scale well. That is a drawback to the commons. With digital, however, scaling is not an problem, at least in the sense that affects offline co-ops.
