Great post.
What the hell are we waiting for?
Personally its going to be hard for me to bring people over until there is a decent phone app. My 80k of followers are mostly on Instagram and they simply don't translate over here in its current form. I have high hopes for @dapplr and have supported their proposal.
Otherwise I think we can all help producing quality content that is not hive related. The main problem at the moment is the community is basically a bunch of people talking about themselves and how great the community is. We need to move on from that and be a community of people talking about other things which are happening in the world. Then people will actually want to be here.
There is lots of development and its exciting times however; I have never been so bullish on the future here.
Do you mention Hive to your followers at least? I wouldn't expect all 80k to come over, but you might be able to bring a few hundred over as things are.
The reason we are just people talking about how great we are is because there aren't enough people to engage with us on certain niches. Those people won't come unless we bring them over.
I have tried in the past with steem and only a few responses. It's just too complex at the moment with sign up etc.
Hive is getting easier but its not there yet.
That's the Catch-22 of any new platform. It is hard to dislodge from the status quo as they won't come until its buzzing but it wont be buzzing until they come.
They won't come til you mention it to them :-P A few times ;-)
True; but I only get one real chance before they write it off. As they are fickle and wont look twice.
