Did you answer "magically on the internet" ? :D
Well, not exactly, tried explaining them about the Hive economics. And believe me, may of them didnt understand the forking as well, they were like, they can see the same posts on steemit as well, what kind of sorcery it that, its like Facebook getting copied and made into a clone called facebook1, where the old users can access the data from the old facebook page, as well as the new facebook1 page lmao.... like the newbies are not understanding whats happening here.
Perhaps a infographic "cheat sheet" might help?
Yes, I believe this will help a lot.
Most people believe that this thing is for the "geeky" people already into cryptocurrency and all.
Another point I want to add:
Some of the OGs who have been in space since 2012-2013 also suggested that the top 20 people on Hive own too much Hivepower, and maybe they should organize small giveaways to new people on this platform, who are creating good content, having very less hivepower in their account, to make it a bit more decentralized, some sort of...
some people did say the rich people are getting richer, what about the poor people :P
When I explained it to someone, they saw it as a hostile takeover with a new spinoff rival being set up to compete for the market.
The top20 Witnesses? Some of the top 20 accounts have been buying in over the last year or so to be in the position, like OGs can :) Overall, the distribution is flowing more to the lower end than the higher and has been getting better over time significantly. This isn't a fast process though. There are giveaways and competitions ofr content and activity however and people like @theycallmedan do them regularly. Myself and 3 other orcas have been and will be running various competitions where we do it through delegations.
Give something for free, it gets treated as if it is worthless - it has to be earned in some way.
I have been here for 3.5 years now and the people I know who have started from nothing and stuck through and participated regularly, are doing pretty well. Of course, they still have to offer something the community wants.
