The risk of trying something new. People protect their egos. Social proof gets over this hurdle as it comes pre accepted by the group. Most don't have early adopter mindsets.

So there's a risk of being perceived as out-group? Or somehow uncool or failed if one does not succeed as one hopes to succeed? :)
The guy I talked to ultimately adopted a cautiously positive view of Hive. He did say it was for people who like experimentation. Other than there being a bit of a cognitive hurdle, there is actually very little risk.
But people try new foods or start new hobbies all the time. What's so different about joining Hive compared to trying yoga, pottery, or aikido, for example?
Expectation. Most people are presented Hive from a monetary gain position. Many will think too good to be true or scam. Others will think, I am going to be judged and that scares them.
