It's good to see you writing again! The description of your daily work routine reminds me so much of my own before I transitioned out of the day job. Looking back, the work routine made the years pass very quickly, now being semi-retired, the days sometimes seem to stretch on forever (but, strangely, the years still rush by).
Unfortunately, us Americans lost access to Binance years ago. As the token prices fall and stagnate it becomes clear to see who's here for the pleasure of writing, reading, and interacting. Past price dips have always been like a cleansing of the platform. I don't remember such low sentiment here but I hope Hive survives. I write on other platforms but can't imagine a world without this place. There's nothing quite like it.
It really is the perfect platform. Not really a raised middle finger to the legacy kyc internet dominated by algorithms and the removal of agency and free will, but a door concealed in a wall.
Hive has always had potential, but the complexity is a big barrier.
A blank text box and a bunch of strangers can be simply too intimidating for some.
