I did tried the blockchain out a while back when I came across a post hyping it in relation to Hive. Couldn't do much on the interface level, didn't even knew how to navigate and where the Dapps were located, some seemed to be in development at that time.
Good perspective to see it as participating in an experience that unfortunately didn't work out as planned. I usually view most crypto projects as experiments after reading here somewhere that Hive is a social experiment.
