The market is often unpredictable and irrational, and there is no guarantee that a useful product will reach the masses regardless of how good it is - especially in the crypto industry. We've witnessed a lot of shady projects taking place within the top 20 tokens if measured by market cap. In most cases, the hype is paid for instead of earned, therefore a lot of projects out there have either poor tech or investors ready to dump on the community.
There is no secret formula to success and sometimes the only thing we can do is to keep hustling until we get shit done.
It's kinda funny how fast this place evolves and how little the outsiders know about it. Kinda gives us leverage over others who're not aware of the GEM sitting in front of their noses.
The more tokens we own, the less selling pressure on the market there is. It doesn't matter how little you own, or how small your investment is, if such practice is powered by a community it goes exponential. The fundamentals matter and something this big can't be built on shaky ground.
Having 10 000 dedicated individuals can move the fucking mountains.
Exponential Growth.
I don't think Hive's userbase will increase gradually, rather exponentially. We will onboard more people in a matter of days than we did in 5 years. And I'm not even joking. The things that go popular tend to increase to a point where it's impossible not to participate - A lot of people will find themselves in a bad spot for not taking the opportunity while it was cheap.
The question is, how are we going to behave once the price starts following the value.
Can't wait for more sinks and smart contracts that will allow more opportunities for the stakeholders to utilize. PoB is cool, but there has to be some kind of revenue to keep it stable and some different ways to put your tokens to work.
Hopefully, we won't repeat that shit we've been doing during the steem era. We need to have stakeholders that care for the long term success and we are building just that.
I think marketing will make a huge difference and we have to be prepared and organized to sustain the level of excitement. The shit is about to get crazy. There's so much building around this place and it's impossible to stay underdogs for too long.
Keep your shit straight and hustle up!

We need decent marketing I agree, these twitter hustle initiatives have had zero effect. An unfortunate waste of everyone's time involved!
We still need a decent mobile app to IMO - Ecency looks like a browser stuck onto a phone.

I think @dapplr is kinda awesome they are rolling out some nice features. If we manage to promote both Hive and Hive dapps in a simple way - we have a shot.
Personaly, i would aim for users outside crypto in general.

It will. Things will explode once the right node is tapped into. I think the microblogging that Leo is putting together will cause a massive growth increase. We simply have to frame it as a frontend to twitter and the way to secure one's account and data.
Ironically, what most people overlook is we are our own marketing force. Look at what marketing firms do: they go to social media and promote their wares.
We are social media. It is only a matter of providing the users with what they need.

I don't think we have a good approach when it comes to marketing and it shows. We habe to adopt, otherwise we will stagnate. The efforts are important and the community should help spread awareness, however, marketing by a profesionals can help us achieve our goals much faster.
Still keeping my fingers crossed when it comes to hive, but my bet this year is on leofinance. Hive's success at this point is linked to dapps success. Once we have more active dapps, the demand for hive increases. So my theory is: focus on development and marketing (very important), and things will begin to fall in place. The market is dumb, but it won't be forever. Smart money is getting into the system.

It is possible, leo is rolling out a lot of things, the LP is increasing and the number of users keep growing.
To be honest, I wouldn't mind waiting a bit longer. 2021 will be fucking huge for both Hive and Dapps who pioneered tokenomics. Until then, I will accumulate as much as possible.
