it's great to see you expand on it. Or is it beside it? Or wrapped in it?
I never know :)
I look forward to (and hopefully not far) where new users will come to Hive without even knowing that they are here because their UI will not be required to learn anything about the block chain to begin.
This is the dream. I have had the thought for a very long time that it operates much more like the internet itself, an underlying protocol that gets leveraged, but users don't have to know about the infrastructure - just sign up for access.
People focus on price because it is their focus in life due to circumstances perhaps. In some way, not focusing on price is a privileged position. I try not to spend too much time thinking about the current price, but rather what it might take to get to a point where price becomes meaningful for me. We are a long way off, but on that path is a lot of community building. Some see the price as the goal, I see it as a byproduct of a strong community.
Price is so relative, and generally NOT relative to what it should be. Ideally (to me) price would be relative to the strength and dedication of the communities and people on the chain rather than relative to other coins or societies. Probably never happen, but I can dream.
I agree. At the moment, there is no (real) sense to most of the pricing going on, especially since a lot of the projects are effectively dead through disuse.
