So Gary Vaynerchuk is creating some NFT project....
His 5 'tips' are interesting to prim people to get ready for this launch....What I found hilarious...

4. Buy ETH
Minimum....1 ETH needed to get involved....
Big marketing guru...ETH fan boy.
Thoughts? ETH anger? lol

At this point, it is good for people to get in and bring others in regardless of how they get here.
We, on Hive, simply need to keep building. Until we have easy to spin up, decentralized smart contracts, we will be lagging. But all that stuff is coming.
When a big name with a huge following starts talking about NFTs and crypto, it can only help.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Hope so...But good to see these big talking heads in the marketing world on the crypto bandwagon regardless!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
And that is an arena that can make it spread.
After all, they are marketing heads. LOL
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It's a great start, I hope at least one of these people finds out what we are doing here on HIVE.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well we just need to keep building and make sure those devs keep working hard to push out everything. It might take quite a while and we might not be the best at everything though.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That is true, it only takes 1 or 2 big names to really get blast a coin through the media and start a buying frenzy.
I don't know but I'll get my ETH slowly through publish0x since I don't want to pay the gas fees. I think they are slightly better but still not worth it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
ETH is good but the only bad part with it is gas fee. I hate it
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea the fees are not worth it. I don't consider it worth it either so I plan to just earn it over time and maybe I will have enough for 1 ETH.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea, those fees suck to small investors such as myself. Very hard to use the chain properly
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
We are so spoiled on this blockchain lol
Fees...Never heard of her!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
TRUE THAT!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Hive is awesome, at only 1% 😀 Do you think that might change when Hive Token hits 5 or 10 dollars a token?
We are definitely very spoiled here with the 2nd layer tokens on top of HIVE.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That is a solid plan
I think its better to earn it slowly but I don't earn that much for doing so. It might take me a few years to get there though.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Decided that I will be posting there from now. I might not like eth but I cannot deny the support it is getting.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea its small amounts so I don't think I have $1 yet but might as well grab a tiny bit everytime I cross post.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
every penny counts. this much i have learnt. make those coins mate
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
1 ETH can be steep lol
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Heard about whalechian? Yeah that ethereum
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Not really.. what is that?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
You talking about these folks?

Lol I was actually referring to ethereum. 🤭
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That is good because the link I gave those folks don't even exist anymore! Outfit out of Taiwan.

He has a huge fanbase. A little bit of a mean streak, but very influential. I prefer Casy Neistat myself. Now if HE starts talking about crypto...

1 ETH is peanuts for him.
Personally, I never understood ETH craze. OK, Vitalik is a nice guy yet ...
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
ETH has a lot of potential. There are a ton of developers involved.
They have some challenges but not uncommon at this point. Scaling is an issue for most blockchains.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
In my opinion, the biggest problem of every blockchain project is that majority sees it as a get-rich-quick scheme. OK, fiscal transactional systems are great and needed. Yet, the real projects are about the intrinsic value of the content embedded in transactions, not about the price of the token.
In this way, Hive and similar projects differ from other blockchains.
OK, the Ethereum blockchain has smart contracts, a silly name for common code, yet these are clumsy and expensive. There are other blockchains that are better at programming and scalability, decentralization, sharding,... I still hope that Rchain will succeed.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
A lot of what has been done with HIVE Engine and Tribaldex I think is based on what Ethereum does. I could be wrong, but that is how I understand it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It may be, I don't know. The guys behind it should tell :)
Technology is not the same yet we can all learn and do better. I believe this is going on. Doing similar things better on a parallel foundation.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's an interesting news there. Indeed, crypto is quite very immature. We can only see beautiful things begin to happen.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That will limit the number of customers quite strongly. First they need to understand crypto and then they need to have a heavy wallet to deal with ETH.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
If a person is attracted to those massive network fees more power to them. I think what everyone is hoping for is that ETH will be the next Bitcoin and all involved will become rich. I have some doubts with those fees and the upcoming forks they will need to deal with, I might just sit back and watch 😀
Lol I don't think I am willing to risk paying those fees in my attempt to become rich. I will rather try somewhere else. I am sure a lot of people are not going to jump on it. Maybe I am wrong. Gary has a large following. I am one of his fanboys but eth is a no no for me. Plus, I am not big on NFTs just yet
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That is really what I enjoy most about Hive & the CTP community, we don't have to follow the herd. Here we are able to do things at our speed and still reap many benefits 😀
'High GAS fees' on ETH is the #1 reason for the rise of BSC and other blockchains that solves that problem. ETH HFs will not drastically change this issue overnight. It will still take some time. Until then, it's a golden opportunity for other chains to rise.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
All of that might end up taking months or years to play out. I think the hype and money is the thing that is keeping it up right now because the fees can only go up as ETH goes up.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I wish he had explored another blockchain but like Task said, it doesn't matter how people get here, they just need to get here first and explore things for themselves and then decide what blockchain they will use in the long run
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The only reason why he is choosing ETH because it's famous and many people are already using various platforms built on the blockchain. It makes sense but I wish sooner or later they realize that Crypto is not just ETH or BTC. It's a plethora of opportunities in all directions.
Btw 1 ETH is just too much, especially when it's hovering around its ATH. 😂
At the same time, considering NFT art has been sold for millions, it's not that much.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
He has enough money to not even worry about the fees lol
But welp, at least he's using the future!
ETH might get a nice pump, so the fees for sure.
Like you said, we are so spoiled!
If only Hive got into his radar, since he's all for creating content..
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea that could be huge for Hive... I hope that the current developments help to put us on the map when they come out
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I am involved in too much already. Difficult enough to focus on all the projects going on with our blockchain. Good fortune to him and those that get involved.
