I'm pretty new to Hive, so I'm not sure I understand all the data here, but I do agree it's a 'wait and see' situation for now.
I'm not sure about the level of current onboarding efforts but I've contributed a bit to onboarding newcomers with my Hive Beginner's Guide, and I check in on @lordbutterfly 's 'Ignite' marketing efforts for Hive occasionally. I've also seen @nathanmars supporting Twitter outreach challenges and so on.
They appear to be relatively early stages, but have potential, which I guess just emphasizes the 'wait and see'-ness of it all. My focus is on this perhaps because I'm a noob here at Hive, but also because I agree with @nonameslefttouse that Hive may benefit from targeting 'regular consumers' rather than seeking some 'killer app' (or at least in parallel with it.)
Point is, if I understand correctly (and please correct me if I'm wrong) to see a 'breakout in this bullrun', Hive would need a significant uptick in adoption and investment from people currently off-platform, yes?
Anyway, thanks for a thought-provoking post, much appreciated. 🙏
@nonameslefttouse is right there.
What killer app? The whole crypto ecosystem cant think of a single killer app, rather provides marginal improvement, increased complexity and basic crypto ideology.
You need regular users with disposable income willing to risk a bit of it. Thats the only solution.
There is a reason the quote
comes from the movie called "Field of Dreams".
Hmmm. Yeah. Build a stadium. Watch how nobody comes until you put someone on the stage. Then watch how you don't make any money unless you put asses in the stands.
This is a pretty decent (if blunt) summary of a majority of offerings, I'd say.
And hahaha... I'm chuckling at your closing line. Oh man. I'd never thought of that particular take on the cliche, but I do agree with it. "Building things" and then sitting back nose in the air, expecting the world to find it while we twiddle our thumbs doesn't seem too smart.
Which is why I highly value marketing efforts like yours and ignite.
Thanks for swinging by and contributing to the discussion. 🙏
