It is quite a puzzle for me too how that the international crypto space doesn't really talk much about Hive. Even on twitter some people don't believe something like hive is possible, they keep describing hive and say its gonna happen. "Hello, it has been happening."
I sometimes Blane it on exposure, most people who come on hive don't come because they are knowledgeable about the crypto space, a lot are just noobs but then they get to learn. When people get so exposed, too much knowledge , they begin to speculate so much into its success.
One thing I m sure is that Hive will blow one day, and it is very near.
