Don't we need some real people come forward ?
This recent post referred by @brofund team brings an important discussion on the table - who can we consider to be the leader of hive ? I have often presented my view having some real people come forward and represent hive and discuss openly where we are going with what we are building and how. We think, we are building great features on the chain, but a great product does not sell great always. It needs very good marketing strategy to sell our product to the world.
Though the post talks about someone who holds the most influence on this chain, for me, its not only someone with most influence on this chain, but also someone who can represent, speak, defend, lead in public as a real person. We know many accounts with high stake on the chain and we even have seen some of their faces in Hive Fest, but not all. There are many who still do not come forward as a real person and prefer to be anonymous (which is of course their personal preference, which I also respect), but their influence will be limited compared to a real person promoting hive in public. The recent distriator campaigns to onboard businesses on hive proves the fact that, human touch brings a lot more value to establish the credibility of what is being built on hive. So to take hive to the next level, we need some real people, who hold the most influence either in terms of stakes or building on hive and share their opinion in public that can be advertised on other medias.
What's your opinion on this subject ? There are some nice number of BRO to grab, but I feel the question is much more important than that - we as a community need a real leader or a team of leaders to represent us in public - a solid leader (or a team) who can handle any kind of turbulence and land us safely at 20$ price.
Look at the leader in the photo - he is ready for any kind of turbulence on the ground, more to come on that....

I am torn between the slow grind of decentralized leadership & community building and a centralized group making up leadership. These days, it isn't hard to imagine core values and a constitution being turned aside when the wrong people are included in a centralized leadership group for the wrong reasons. Still, people will do what you inspect and not what you expect so a compensated body with roles and objectives to deliver upon would be a hook on which to hang larger progress and development.
If value of token is the primary driver, then some centralized and accountable leadership mechanism is needed. I think it might overshadow some of the other core values that are the foundation of Hive in the name of profit.
So, Helpers should seek out the helpers here and lead. We are the leaders and the older ones of us know the stink of Justin Sun for example.
We still can have decentralized leadership - the team of top witnesses should ideally represent the leadership. This is more for promoting what we are building.
Exactly my point. We have decentralized leadership and I love to support them and follow their lead. That is the organic, decentralized model I love. I also know you get what you pay for so an acceleration of those efforts would have to come with some reward and responsibility.
If witnesses (and the rest of us) promoting what we are building is not enough, then some centralization of reward and accountability to achieving objectives would work. Kinda like in the corporate world. Money talks! ;)
I am looking for opportunities to move from story teller and curator into more of a roll that leverages the digital marketing knowledge and skills that I have used to build a company. I gotta chase the money to pay the bills but Hive is a side hustle or a side project more than a paid team role at the moment.
I guess we lead and follow in different ways and I look forward to that evolving as Hive does.

Good morning, dear friend @sanjeevm
I wasn't aware of this contest; it's really cool.
It's true that we're a decentralized network and we're all owners, but if I had to choose a role model that represents us, it would be @theycallmedan and @starkerz. For me, they're my role models.
Thank you so much for sharing your opinion on this.
Have a great day.
Yes, I also agree @theycallmedan and @starkerz will be good fit, because they are some real people showing real face to show the genuineness of the chain.
Agree
I liked how you didn't took any name personally but still mentioned why you think few people will fit as the good option to be here for the leadership role.
I think hive has a good market influence already when it comes to it's token but as a platform our social blockchain is still something not known by many.
A lot of people might be trading and making profits in hive based on what they do with the charts and all but even they might have not seen what the actual product in the name of hive really means.
I think someone who can fill this gap and take hive among the locals from all around the world can be a good leader for sure.
Thank You
As per my opinion it is web 3.0 platform, so no one is particular leader, being the hiver it's everyone duty to do more promotion & marketing related to Hive ... distriator is amazing idea for promoting hive many countries brings businesses to Hive...
In india, it is difficult to make people understand about crypto n tokens, as 'm living in small town, i tried to brings 1-2 business to hive through distriator but unfortunately they thinks either 'm foolish or fraudsters talking rubbish 🤣😜
I am planning to include some businesses, it's very difficult to convince them, not success yet.
wow... Great.. waiting for indian business...
i know it's really difficult to make understand about HIVE
Yes, a true leader or team is always good IMO. I always felt there are a few hivers who always think and talk about hive and the state of things..
🤔😉🤙
You just said it all we need hive to move to a greater level and we all we enjoy it
Not really sure about that. Crypto space is evolving, and I hope our beloved will also do. Too bad, price of Hive is so low now.

@iyanpol12, sorry! You need more to stake more $PIZZA to use this command.
The minimum requirement is 20.0 PIZZA staked.
More $PIZZA is available from Hive-Engine or Tribaldex

I don't know if we need a leader, but we do need some influential people who care about the chain actually promoting it.
Exactly, we have more capabilities than lot other chains, but we lack in promoting ourselves.
We definitely do!
Nice topic. I hope whoever is the real leader helps take the price of Hive to the moon.
I think all the 20 witness are leaders. So it's upto all the Hiveans to choose their leaders by casting their Winess Vote.
Agree
How would it feel, if they do a regular AMA on weekly or at least monthly basis and promote that everywhere ?
There are different layers of leader here, as influence the biggest stake is the leader, whatever decision he takes the chain has to follow... Then you have as you say the one that gives more visibility around, that shows off and partecipate at events... You also have who builds a lot of tools and is involved in projects...
So not a single and definite answer here
I have never heard anyone say that he or she is the leader of Hive and many times, I’ve always wanted to ask about that but thanks for the explanation
#hive #posh
We need a solid team to develop the new features that are coming and to help us solve any eventuality that may arise.
What we need is that group of influential users on the Hive blockchain to help us get closer to our all-time high.
I'm very old and have been working on this platform and Steemit as well, so when it was created, @theycallmedan played an important role.
Influential leaders are what is needed to fully develop the full potential of Hive, which is still dormant, so to speak, but if we are a decentralized blockchain, for me they should be, as I said at the beginning, only influential so that they see the security but never to make decisions that correspond only to us.
I think a group of leaders would be a preferred term since Hive is a decentralized platform. And we have a number of them that are showing good leadership skill, promoting hives, and engaging in activities that would bring positive growth to hive.
I'm positive about hive and I know a time would come when we will go beyond $20 few years to come.
I believe some of us has this personal influence for a leadership role in the social blockchain. You are on point sir. I agree with you on the essence of having a good leader who will create a good impact in Hive . Hive will be decentralized but how is what i really don't know.
There's a need of Hive promotion. Crypto is just becoming a huge space.
if there is an owner then how will Hive be decentralized?
I agree with you bhai, hive is a DPoS chain and the more hive power a person has the more influence he will have on the chain. Be it witness or proposals votings or anyother thing.
leader not owner - someone who can lead us to 20$.
Do you think 🤔 hive will go that far sir ? 😮
It should.
Hmm then @theycallmedan would be the perfect candidate 😉
I don't know about the leader of the Hive blockchain, but as you mentioned at the end of your blog, a strong leader who can land safely at a price of 20 dollars per token for the Hive token. To be honest, I think that is something really difficult considering that the market is maturing throughout the year. In the next four years, we can expect the market to be more mature than before.
Right now, as you can see in the screenshot I have shared, the market cap of the Hive blockchain, or more specifically, the Hive token, is 92 million dollars. For it to reach 20 dollars, we would have to move up by 100 times, or 100x, so that Hive is at or close to that price. I think it will be very difficult but lets see what the future holds for us. I hope the best for this blockchain as well it's token.
Thanks and Happy trading everyone!
Hello Mr. @sanjeevm, good morning.
This is something I've always wondered about: who could be a Hive leader? You have an excellent perspective.
Have a lovely afternoon.
Before reading this post I used to think there is a leader/ team of people that are in charge of Hive. I understand what you mean sir and I also agree with your suggestions
but the more power you have, the more influence you have.
Hive is a decentralized platform and to have a leader means going against the principle of decentralized technology. I respect the views of those who think that we need a leader but then we will stop telling the world that hive is decentralized. I know majority of the network today are not decentralized and most of them have leaders but they are in the form of stakeholders and as hive is following DPoS the person who have more hive power automatically becomes priority #1 in making decisions for the chain.
Maybe a temporary leadership can be a good term that can be used here. A temporary team that works together to bring what's missing in hive and once achieved we can let the chain live forever without any central entity claiming to be the leader.
don't think so.
I think this is difficult to answer and do, due to the decentralized nature of Hive. A lot of people would like to keep it that way to preserve this decentralization. But if I were to answer it, I think the Witnesses are the closest we have to this. We can maybe have them as a collective serve as the leader. If you want a single person, then it can be Arcange who is the current top voted Witness, or they can nominate one among themselves.
I do think that we need to do better as a blockchain in getting our name out there and getting more users. I don't know if getting a singular leader will help solve that, but I think making better use of the Hive Fund on better projects can be a start.
I am good with that, I just want them to step forward and promote hive, not necessarily active even, but passive.
One of the things I have actually learnt about web3 is that they live in the era of no identification so we can point out to someone that is the boss
I think if we were to choose a leader to represent us I would choose based on the following criteria:
I heard @blocktrades speak on Hive podcast he definitely fits the first two. Third one I just don't have any information about, but he sounded like he does have it.
the leader of the photo, you mean the dude with a towel around his waist ?
it all depends what is a leader for you, physical or not , big wallet or not.
HIVE has its own way to juice its own system, however you see it, but obviously your direction on the question is not clear.
