every new platform is "hard" for "regular" people. we are all in a bubble of our friends on fb or instagram. especially for us living in a small town where everyone knows everyone. so my initial public of 200-500 people on there is gone where ever i move, because they will not move without bunch of their friends moving.
I think the other thing that would likely come up is that getting paid to contribute comes with the feeling of work and for most, work rarely comes with a positive feeling.
well for consumers it should maybe be earning with not really thinking about earning. you consume, and earning is just a bonus that happens because you are here.
My take on it for now, people should join Hive to get the feel of crypto. to see how it works, to start thinking about keys, to get the feel of transferring, tipping... and while they are learning all of that, they will see what is the best for them to do on hive.
If we get an app that is user friendly and easy to use, then we could really talk about onboarding people that had initially no interest in crypto.
This is where the onboarding of small communities would come in very handy. Rather than bringing them on, use SMTs to tokenize what they already know and who they know.
Yep, consumer rewards are a big draw, even though they might not be a big earner for anyone. I think once people try, they might actually just have fun in the process of collection, like Farmville :D
I agree with this too. There is a lot of value in just the learning through doing.
i still suck at a lot of crypto knowledge but if i did not discover steem at the beginning of 2018 i would know nothing about it. I knew about btc and it going crazy but i would most probably not be in to it, because it is a pure investment. you can hodl or trade, not a lot of people are into it. i like hive because i use it every day, it is not just something that stays in my wallet waiting for better days.
Me too. It is a lot more fun having some stake and playing here. I used to game (FPS) a lot, this is way better :)
